18 months on and still issues not fully resolved.

1st issue: So,18 months ago we had a engineer out to sort massive packet loss and he had it raise the issue higher up, we never got the issue fully resolved or found the outcome to the issue, now its back better than ever. My kids are big gamers and are complaining all the time regarding lag and the game unplayable online, they have there consoles?Pc hard wired via ethenet. I added the last 4 day logs from thinkbroand quality monitor.

2nd issue: Hub 4 wont allow us to access it in anway and we seem to have poor wifi, its always saying they have to fix it, the router is in my room and i cant turn the white light off. I  phoned and asked for an engineer and upgrading to the hub 5 due to reading this issue on here, I was on the phone last week for nearly 2 hours and they ran loads off tests, and got fobbed off saying they have to monitor it because he couldnt see the issues because the internet works.

Can someone please point me in the right direction please.

    Stick a bit of black masking tape on the Hub 4 lights.

  • They didn't run any tests, they were lying.

    Your broadband isn't going to get fixed so for your own benefit you should get that idea out of your head. The best option you have now is to wait until your minimum term expires then leave.

    Lets see a full data set - can you do this....

    Then… Navigate to these “data pages” and just copy/paste the normal “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here – 2 tables from the Downstream, 2 from the Upstream, & the Network Logs pages. Don't worry too much about the formatting it can be easily read & DON’T include personal data or MAC addresses - blank them out - if you copy/paste the data, the board software will do this for you (you may need to click the "submit" button again). If character limits are “exceeded” - just do two posts

      I tried on several browsers and none will allow me to sign in and get the data, at the start it asks for password and ive enetered the correct one and when i click next i end up with this above or a blank white screen.

        OK Last chance... do another reset exactly as per this below and then try and log in on a laptop/pc connected via ethernet cable.  If you dont get in call it in as a fault for a Tech visit.

        _____________________________

        Note that a pinhole reset on a Hub3/4/5 can be a bit problematic - so do it (again) EXACTLY this way (not as the VM website says!).

        With the Hub switched "on", and co-ax still connected, push in the “reset pin” with the end of a paperclip/thin nail/SIM tray “tool” or similar (bigger items like ball point pen ends may not press it in far enough) until you feel it at the “stop point” and hold it there firmly for a "timed" minimum of 60 seconds do NOT manually restart the Hub at any time. Leave it 5' or so to initialise and then your passwords/passphrase for both the Hub settings and the Wifi network(s) will revert to the two printed on the Hub sticker on its base. The SSID and passwords will revert to those on the sticker too. Make sure you use the wifi one for devices connecting to the wifi - and the settings/admin one to access the Hub settings.
