GlobalProtect & Virgin Media Broadband Connection Dropping

I have been using the Hub 3 for 18months. However since recently when using GlobalProtect for work my connection drops every 10 minutes or so meaning that I am unable to access my work’s corporate network or use the internet, even though my laptop says I am still connected to the internet. The temporary fix is turning GlobalProtect on and off but the same issue arises 10 minutes later. If I keep GlobalProtect turned off I have no internet connection issues, I also have no issues with any of my other devices.

My company have replaced my laptop (Thinkpad x1 Carbon running Windows 10) but no change. IT have also logged on to my laptop remotely to play around with things (including reinstalling GlobalProtect) but nothing has worked.

The only workaround for this issue is hotspotting my phone or going into the office (I have been doing the latter which is why I have lived with this issue for so long).

I would be grateful if somebody could offer me some options for resolving this so I can take a view as to whether I need to change provider or not.

        Then we had better check on your circuit. Please provide some stats as below:

        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.

    it be odd that changing power levels make the hub change what works and gets bad😬

    On our wavelength

    I'm having the exact same issue. Internet is generally pretty good around the house but my work laptop that uses GlobalProtect drops every 10-15 minutes, whether I am on Wifi or ethernet. It seems to be the upload that is most affected as sometimes I will freeze and lose audio on a videocall but still be able to watch and hear teammates asking if i'm still there

    Similarly, it all works without issue on other networks

      I seem to be getting upstream T3 timeouts, if that's relevant

        Hey maxwellhill, thank you for reaching out and I am so sorry to hear about this,

        I've taken a look at our side and everything seems to be fine, very good levels.

        How has it been over the last few days, any improvement?
