Virgin Media O2 Rolls Out Smart Support Service to Boost Broadband Reliability
British telecommunications company Virgin Media O2 (VMO2) has started rolling out a “smart support” service aimed at improving broadband reliability for customers. This initiative comes as a response to research indicating that 34 percent of British broadband users lack confidence in resolving WiFi issues themselves. This will help to boost broadband reliability by proactively tackling issues remotely at no extra cost for customers, VMO2 said on Monday.

Introduction of Smart Support

According to the company, the smart support service, powered by technology from Cisco ThousandEyes (formerly SamKnows), will initially target 300,000 Virgin Media broadband customers for assessment and improvement over the year. It promises to enhance customers’ streaming, video calling, and gaming experiences by monitoring WiFi Hubs and identifying potential issues such as speed drops and disconnections.

Key features include continuous monitoring of broadband speeds and connection performance, automatic overnight resolution attempts for detected faults, personalised advice for unresolved issues, and easy booking of free engineer appointments if necessary.

VMO2 said later this year, the smart support service will evolve to accurately diagnose a wider range of in-home connectivity issues and offer guidance on tackling WiFi blackspots to ensure signal throughout the home.
