Broadband dropping out all the time

I've be struggling with my broadband dropping out for quite some time now. I'm constantly getting T3 errors which Spike my ping then eventually knock me offline. Its now happening multiple times per hour. I've previously spoke to someone whom sent me out a new router but the problem is still persisting.

So far today I've had 8 T3 errors since resetting my router at 11:34. (See below)

Could you advise me where to go from here

    Try checking with Area faults on  0800 561 0061 or if you have a VM landline 150 as small local faults are not listed on the VM status page.

    Post the power levels, Pre and PostRS errors and network log from the Hub.  Setup a BQM to monitor your circuit www.thinkbroadband.com/ping  

    Also run a wired speed test on www.samknows.com/realspeed and post the results.

    Once done we can comment.

  • No Area Faults, my speed both wired/wireless is perfectly fine when I'm connected im just dropping out multiple times per hour (7 this past hour)
