Intermittent connection issues and packet loss

Hi All, 

I'm back after initially having my issue resolved in https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Speed/Intermittent-issue-causing-slow-download-speeds/td-p/5550106

My connection issues are back and worse with constant timeouts and packet loss.

      What devices do you have connected to the Hub on ethernet cables?

      Then check first for any “known network faults in your location - Look in 2 places

      1) Try the “check service,”Area status webpage (https://www.virginmedia.com/help/service-status)

      2) Then also Try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues and fix estimates, down to street cab/ postcode level.

        Hi,

        I've got an opnsense router connected to the 2.5g port.

        All looks good my end and looks like a DOCSIS issue.

    It would be interesting to see what the packet loss looks like on a BQM.

    There is a lot of noise on the input, your Hub is working very hard to correct the errors.
