VM Broadband Having a Bad Day...

now.... first and foremost... VM BB is rock solid... 99 days out of 100...

today seems to be the exception: ( 2025-07-18 - Gloucestershire GL3 )

Dropping a good chunk of packets... upstream bandwidth seems throttled to 0.010mbps... guess we all have off days.

( and yes i've done all the sensible things to rule out a local issue ).

      VM Hub is is Modem Mode. This isn't a local issue. that address shows the same issue.

      It's the upstream contention that's causing the loss.

      As I said... 99.99% of the time... it's rock solid. Clearly just having a bad day somewhere.

        Upstream contention shouldn't cause packet loss. It can cause timeout, if that is set too low.

    last diagnostic image. It's affecting all the neighbours too. Area 5. Struggling to post as the connection's so poor.

      Yes, it all points to a signal issue, not congestion. :)
