40% packet loss. Latency spikes

2021technology
On our wavelength

I'm a new customer and the connection quality I am receiving is awful (especially recently). Gaming or any real time task is completely out of the question. I have restarted the hub. I've checked the connections etc. Please help.

Your T3 Timeouts counter should be much higher with that packet loss.

Likely upstream packet loss with a bad line.

Hello @2021technology,

 

Welcome to the community page, thank you for posting on here.

 

I am sorry for the current issues you are facing.

 

Please can you do the following:

 

We need to check that the coax cable (white cable) is connected securely to every piece of Virgin Media kit but also ensure that it is connected securely to any splitters that are in use as well as the wall socket.

Tighten any loose connections to make sure they are finger tight. If the cables have push-fit connectors make sure they are connected securely, especially to the back on the Hub 3.0.

 

Let me know if this improves everything.

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

read my original post. It does not help in the slightest.

Did you get this sorted?

Looks like my BQM, and the problem was with the fibre optic connector on the box on the front of the house where it changes to co-ax. You'll have a big coil of thin fibre, and because its coiled it tugs on the connector slightly, it may not be seated properly.

If you look in it, there will be a little device with 3 LEDs, I think one's power, and one upstream and downstream.. something like that. If your upstream one is red, try moving the cables and connector so the fibre cable goes straight into the connector, rather than maybe being pulled at an angle like mine was.

I didn't have to touch mine for 2 years, then got similar issues to yourself, so it can happen out of the blue.

Hello 2021technology

 

Sorry to hear of the service issues experienced, we appreciate you taking the time to make us aware of this via the forums.

 

I've arranged for a technician to come out tomorrow morning between 8am and 12pm, please let me know if there are any individuals shielding in the property at the moment or if the appointment isn't convenient for you. I can look to arrange it for a better time for you.

 

Rob

Hello Rob thank you for that. However he arrived and noticed a problem with the line from the box to the house. He said if the problem persists to call him but I do not have his number. If you could send another one out to fix this problem that would be amazing. For anyone wondering the loss was temporary but the ping spikes remain and are awful.

Thanks for getting back to us @2021technology

 

I'm very sorry to hear this, I appreciate this is frustrating and we apologise for any inconvenience caused. 

 

I've escalated the matter to the Area Field Manager who will be able to advise further and get the right tech sent out to you who will be able to complete this job for you. 

 

As soon as I have an update I'll pop another post on this thread. 

 

Thanks,
