Intermittent internet -for the last few days

Hi , I've checked all connections,  I even installed a new hub tonight but I'm still getting intermittent loss of Internet including over the ethernet connection.

I think I need an engineer:(

  • I've been experiencing the same since the beginning of march. I had my hub 3 installed January 15 maybe, it was working fine but since the beginning of march, especially when im gaming, ive been experiencing terrible ping. im getting sick and tired because I keep getting told to reset the hub or reboot, ive done that countless times, nothing has changed. I get told that they dont see anything wrong with my connection from their end, when i run a service status check it says there are intermittent issues. Its the same with when i use ethernet or not. Ive had two engineers come, the issues has not been resolved, they have no idea whats causing it but its unbearable. I work from home and I also stream while gaming, I cant stream anymore because of how bad my ping gets with the constant spikes and i work here and there because the internet is so unreliable. I dont understand how they dont know what the issue is. Its so annoying because I have contacted virgin maybe 10 times since march and they all keep saying the same thing. I dont know what to do, they dont have a solution, im paying £42 for terrible unreliable wifi.

    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.
