Intermittent Broadband Connectivity Issues

My ethernet connection is intermittently dropping out (multiple times per day).

I've tried different ports on the router, different cables, replacing switches, factory resetting the router.
I did check the router logs and i'm getting these strange messages, when I google it there's a reddit post saying I need an engineer call out. I've tried going through the watsapp live chat with Virgin but I get no response.
Tried going through live chat and it's like i'm going round in circles with the bot.

Please, if someone can help - it's been going on for weeks and week this issue.

    We need to see a BQM - can you do this....

    ______________________

    If you haven’t already, set up a free, secure and “offlsite” - “Broadband Quality Monitor” to continually monitor the state of your connection and record any true network dropouts , latency issues, packet drops, etc - it will thus allow you to differentiate between those and simple wifi dropouts. It does it 24/7/365 and it keeps a visual record of any/all of your network disconnections, useful data to have to match to the Network logs (in your Hub settings) and also in discussions with VM - note it will take a few hours to start seeing a sensible picture - post up the “link” to the “share live graph”. Click the lower link (Share Live Graph) then, click generate. Copy the text in the Direct Link box, beware, there may be more text than you can see. On here click the Link icon (2 links chain to the left of the camera icon) In the URL box paste the link you copied and then click OK

      Hello jasonishere1

       

      Sorry to hear of the connection issues experienced, we appreciate the frustration this can cause and you raising this with us via the forums. Welcome to the community.

       

      From checking we can see the average speed to the Hub is showing as 545Mbps download and 52Mbps upload but there have been multiple disconnection over the last 7 days which is a concern. As of the time of posting all of the levels and the specs appear to be within the ranges we'd expect to see.

      There has been no disconnection so far today so have you noticed an improvement in this over the last 24 hours?

        Hello, Thanks for responding.

        It's only when im gaming so max load that these disconnects happen. I'm currently away from home for the last 2 days, probably why there's been no disconnects. I wont be home for the week now, I assure you once I get home and play any game my internet will disconnect.
