After 6 six service techs, network techs and headend techs, it goes without saying more calls to VM then I care to remember. I moved to another ISP.

My time is precious, tech visits & calls ate into my time. So if you have nothing to do all day but wait for techs to visit & make calls to your ISP or derive some pleasure from said calls and visits then I guess it beats watching daytime TV.

Re: Two disconnections on 50mb
Nice when you've got a choice to go elsewhere..

Not had a problem with VM apart from the fact I would like a continous bank of IP's and a faster upload... The faster upload just ain't gonna happen here until 2012 as we're restricted to ADSL (8mb though 6.5 as we're 1km from the exchange)

You must be right in the middle of all the areas you discuss, they're all either being upgraded or in early tranches.

3 significant outages and VM having no plans to perform the necessary work to resolve my issues is quite enough. After first week long outage was repeated within a month I was unhappy but stuck with it, teething trouble, another outage recently was enough.

I know why my area sucks, rather than rebuilding the network or upgrading it VM just crowbarred DOCSIS 3 onto it. Until they spend some serious time and money here it isn't adequate reliability wise for my needs.

I'm dead smack between Luton and Bedford, UBR for me is Flitwick..

SO please tell me what can I expect?? I can;t upgrade to 20/1 on the business package as they still haven't sorted out the sticky IP's on 20Mb. I'd love to know that I'll have options especially as my 2 year contract either ended last month or ends this month.

Given your previous brushes with VM I would imagine them being ecstatic to see the back of you

You've 30 days to back out of new contracts anyway.

This would depend on your phone exchange I guess.

At 1km away though you should be good for 16+Mbit - I'm 1.4km away, 1.9km of string, and predicted 14.

No LLU?

Doesn't need to be 21CN, It's WBC / Wholesale Broadband Connect that is the interesting one.

Re: Two disconnections on 50mb
SOOOO! Annoyed now, tech came out today to look at my upstream, not only did he manage to rise my downstream by 5dBmv in the process and now my downstream is sluggish but also ONLY! managed to get my upstream power down by .25dBmv.

Why would an engineer up the downstream tap when the downstream was almost at 0dBmv across the board, then fit a 3dBmv Attenuator in order to get it to 5dBmv when the problem wasnt with downstream????!!!???

I rang him back and told him and he claims he will be back out this evening to undo what he did.

If he doesnt im gonna flip again at virgin!

This is all i get now and i cant even download my emails while i surf as websites wont open!

Re: Two disconnections on 50mb
You had two disconnects, your were unsure as to weather it was the modem or router.
By all accounts your connection didn't drop since you edited your post to say it had dropped again.

You got straight on to VM true to form, as soon as there is dust in your modem your calling/posting on the groups.

A tech has made a non existing problem worse.
Sympathy for you, I have non.
