Re: Repeated Cut-outs. What info can I collect to convince Virgin of the problem?

I am using modem mode. It's the latest Superhub? I have no idea what the last thing is.

It's drops for a minute or two. I'll try and time the cut-outs. Hourly might make sense.

I was told it was a localised problem, and would be resolved as a low priority task - after about 6 weeks it appears to be OK now (I got a refund on my BB for the six weeks).
I'll phone them again then. Just want to collect as much information as possible to help them diagnose the fault. When I called previously they did mention vague 'issues in the area' but no more information and that was a month ago.
