Hub 5 drop out

Having issues, with the hub 5. We have the 1gb contract. Every day the download speed drops to about 1meg. Run diagnostics and it says the hub needs a reset. This is now happening once or twice daily. Help please

    Upstream power too high and downstream power out of spec. Probably you are a long way from the street cabinet. You need moving to another tap on the street cabinet unless there is an area fault. You need a technician’s visit to rectify.  

    Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web page status, but this is not recommended as it only covers issues that affect a very large number of customers.

    VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.

    If no area faults found:

    The primary place to report faults or for service requests is Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post.

    Sounds like a circuit issue. Post the power levels and network log please.

        From what I can see the downstream power levels are way too low. Cannot read photos of stats very easily, please follow this and post a new set of stats:

        How to get stats from a VM hub (no need to logon to the hub)

        Open a web browser and go to 192.168.0.1 router mode or 192.168.100.1 modem mode

        • Click on the “> Check router status” button
        • Click on the “Downstream” tab, copy the text and paste into your reply, do not take a screen shot
        • Click on the “Upstream” tab, copy the text and paste into your reply
        • Click on the “Networking” tab, copy the text and paste into your reply.
          • Do NOT post photos or screen shots they will be rejected as they contain MAC addresses. The board software will automatically change MAC addresses to **:** if done as above.
  • Thanks for speaking with us today LeighDaz on the Virgin Media forums. 👋🏼

    I'm glad we have been able to arrange an appointment to get this issue sorted out.
    As advised, we could see network issues on our end which promoted an engineers booking, more information can be found within our chat for the details.

    Let us know how it goes with the appointment and for any other queries you may have.

    Kind regards,
    Ilyas.
