Constant dropped packets at fixed intervals

Noticed the graph showing regular dropped packets over the last few days if not weeks, pic attached from today

Gone back to 19 March and the second pic is when it started happening regularly

Can anyone at VM explain what is going on ?

  • Hey qwakuk, thank you for reaching out and we are sorry you are having some connection issues.

    After checking it does look like there was a area outage which has now ended.

    Has the connection improved?

      Actually got round to restarting the router at about 5pm yesterday but as you can see dropouts still happening at a regular interval.

      Hidden my ip address so hopefully the graphic can remain this time

      Assuming I need an engineer, anytime on a Friday is best for me

        Hi qwakuk, thank you for your response.

        In order to look into this for you further, we'll send you a private message on here. Look out for the envelope in the top right-hand corner.

        Regards,
        Daniel

      Read in another thread it is caused by an amp going down somewhere in the chain 

      We do have one of these boxes in the house by the modem plugged into the mains

      I accidentally turned it off once and the BB died almost immediately - turning back on the power, gave me access again.
