Errors - power levels

I recently renewed my Contract......and now I have lots of errors

    Your signal levels are all good. But there is a lot of noise on the signal which might be the cause of any problems you have.

    Should the Power (dBmV) levels be as close to ZERO, as possible ?

      Thank you for your reply.

       

      Can you elaborate on this and give me an example?

    On the table of Locked Downstream channels, there are many corrected and uncorrected data errors, which are most likely due to noise interference.  This might be due to a loose coaxial connection to your Hub, which is worth checking.  Otherwise it will be noise on the incoming broadband signal.

    Depending on how you use your connection, this may or may not cause you a problem.

      Thank you for that.

       

      Admin - please get in touch, so we can try to figure out why I am having a slow internet connection

      Hi

      Isn't possible, that if the Power (dBmV) is too high, that there could be noise on the line.

       

      The original Power (dBmV) level is between 15-17, before VM fitted an 10dB Attenuator.

       

      That's because at the Street Box, we are plugged into the top line of the Amplifier Sockets.

       

      If we were moved DOWN a few lines on the Amplifier Sockets Board, is there a possibility that the noise may reduce and we can do away with the Attenuator

        Thank you javedsaleem we have double checked and currently there are no issues raised with our team for any high utilisation in the area. 

        Are you able to confirm if this is happening across WiFi or wired connection so we can advise further?

    How slow is your connection. How are you measuring it. WiFi and wired?

    Your first picture shows a Wifi speed test. VM only promise 30 Mbps using their WiFi devices. 

    Your second pic hasn't cleared moderation yet. Did it contain personal data? 

    The BQM shows some spikes this morning caused by your speed tests. Did you do a reset yesterday to cause that red patch?

      Hi

       

      The 2nd pic was the BQM

       

      I did a reset which caused the the red patch

       

      There are more.spikes than usual....it used to be calm before.

        Hey javedsaleem, thank you for reaching out and I am sorry to hear this.

        I can see my colleague replied to you on another thread did you see this at all?

        Are you still having some connection issues?

    You get a spike every time you do a speed test.
