Service disruption and updates.

Hub 5, 1 Gb service. Its usually very solid, but over last few days I have had a number of blips, where the service has dropped.
I thought may be they doing some maintenance, and sure enough after one of the blips, checking the HUB showed its software had been upgraded to LG-RDK_11.10.2-2410.5
I presume it security, but anyone know whats in the update?
At the same time.. I started to get a security warning on trying to connect to the hub 5 (on the IP 192.168.0.1)... saying the certificate is not issued by a trusted authority.
Certificates are not something I expect to have to mess with... anyone else seeing this? are VM going to fix?

    Hi Yoji,

    Thank you for your post. We're very sorry to hear about the issue with your service. 

    To confirm, has the drops been on a Wired or Wireless connection?

      Hi.. its Wired... 
      I clearly dont know details (may be you can confirm?) but  the blips were 2 or three a day, but now that the update has been completed (i.e. the software has been updated) I have not seen further issues  (yet?) so may be they had issues updating and had to have a few attempts?  Anyway - I assume you are "done" now with messing about... and I can go back to many months between interuptions (It's normally rock solid and I very happy in general)

    VM never comment on what is in a particular firmware update. As per the certificate issue, that is normal and has always been the case.

    http://192.168.0.1 will connect just fine;

    httpS://192.168.0.1, will also connect (as the hub responds to SSL requests); but certificates can only work with hostnames, not IP addresses, so your device will show a cert error. This is by design, VM can't fix it as it's not how certificates work.

      I did reply.. with screen shots, but it not showing.. I guess since it has screen shots it need to be vetted?, and will appear later once done (why dont they say that when you post and just leave us to guess wth is going on?  GGrrrr)

    This is the first report of : LG-RDK_11.10.2-2410.5 for the Hub 5.

    Take a scout round the Hub 5 admin menu and let us know if there is anything new.

      Sorry, nothing jumps out at me (but I am not so sad that I might remember every detail of the past version to compare :(  )
      But thats why I asked.  Anyone does know?
      Per  @Plasticplant post above... I dont expect they to detail all security implications (though why not say "we fixed x,y,z"?  but no harm in detailing any improved usability/performance  type features?

    Hey,

    I have noticed several dropouts myself. I started a Broadband Quality Monitor 2 days ago and it is showing that I’m getting severe Packet Loss and complete drops varying in intensity at the same intervals - 6 minutes and 36 minutes past the hour, every hour.

    Extremely frustrating as I use the internet for work and is now affecting my job.

    the Virgin Media app reckons my internet service is absolutely fine, I asssure you VM, it is NOT.

    regards.
