Constantly cutting out while gaming

[badrobot91]

Hi i Had the same problem creep back up as i did before, virgin media did something on their end and i have Okay not good internet for about a week or 2  and then it goes plop again, i had a senior engineer come out and he said he found the issue, we even had a new cable that leads out of the house.  I have spent so much money trying to get a stable connection but nothing working. 

i have the hub 3 in modem mode linked to an Asus RT-AX86U router which then has an ethernet cable to my PC (cat 8 cable). There is nothing wrong with my equipment 

when entering the network log on the hub 3 i have this constantly every couple of min

this is my ThinkBroadband monitoring been on for a while and this is what it looks like daily

If you've restarted the hub, and you see post-RS error counts notably rising in the following 12-72 hours, then there's a cable fault that has nothing to do with wifi.  Sounds to me as though the field technician thinks you need a cable re-pull, but requests for those are handled with the speed and professionalism for which VM are world famous.

Are the post-RS errors rising?  How long has this been going on?  How many attempts to get VM to fix it have been made?

my pc doesn't use the Wifi it has a cat8 ethernet cable going into my router in the priority port. i had several engineers out the only one that was any good so a senior engineer that actually sat down at my PC and looked at all the settings with me. the answer I always get is there is too much noise in the system??? that leads to ^ these errors, the senior engineer that came also got us a new cable fitted that runs from the house into the front yard. but still no change. This has been happening for a while like a year or 2, often enough someone comes out (e.g. senior engineer) I have better not have great internet for a couple of weeks then it has gone again.

this is what my graphs look like typically day to day with several cut outs which now lead me to no longer playing the games i enjoy because there just no point in trying knowing i get kicked out of the lobby.

There's clearly a fault, multiple attempts to fix it have failed.  Perhaps time to change ISP?

HI badrobot91, thanks for the message. I can see that you are messaging privately with Travis and he should be able to get this resolved for you, please respond to his private message. ^Chris.

I have but he has stated that there will be no more action on the case even though I have stated what was reported was incorrect and proven In affective. The issue still there. I have asked to have the matter exalted and a second opinion from a senior engineer. But as he stated that VM will not take anymore action. If this is the case I be looking into other providers and I expect a discount off my bill as the issue is still ongoing.

Hey badrobot, thank for reaching out and sorry to hear there is still an issues.

I will reach out to my colleague Travis to get you an update as I can see that you've been speaking with him.

Thanks
