So as the title says, the latency has been extremely bad for the last few weeks. Games are impossible to play without the ping spiking to something extreme and the online service checker says there's no issue in the area.

Your upstream power levels are too high and your BQM would suggest over utilisation in the area.  Once your power levels are brought down, it may improve.

Hi zahidh

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

My apologies for the broadband issues. The upstream is on the top end of what we'd expect it to be but I'll send a tech visit to get them lowered.

I'll send you a PM now to book this in.

Kind regards,

[John_GS]

Hi @zahidh

Thanks for joining me on PM. Just to update the thread, the engineer visit was booked in. This will be available via your online account within 1 hour - virg.in/myVM - you can also track or cancel this if needed.

There will be no charge for this visit unless:
• The technician diagnoses the faults as not being caused by our network/equipment 
• The technician discovers that the fault or problem relates to your equipment
• The technician discovers that the fault or problem relates to any system that we are not responsible for
The technician will confirm during their visit if any of these instances apply, and if so, a £25 charge will be applied to your account. 
Please ensure there is someone over the age of 18 present at the time of the visit. If you need to change or cancel your appointment you can do this online or via the MyVM app by 4pm the day before the appointment.
If you do miss an agreed appointment for any reason, a £25 missed appointment charge will be applied to your account on the day of the appointment

Kind regards,
