I've held off raising anything since lockdown occurred as I understand that gaming isn't a priority at that point for Virgin. But it's been a couple of months now, and I still cannot game on the Virgin connection (100mb). Ping is all over the place... packetloss is awful. Sometimes it's fine? But more often than not, it's impossible to play with.

Can someone take a look at this please?

Good Afternoon themoonrat,

Thanks for your post on our Community Forums and a very warm welcome to you!

Sorry to see you've been having issues with out broadband services. 

I've looked at the stats of the hub and everything appears to be in spec.

I also noticed that the hub has been running for 59 days, can you please attempt to reboot the hub to see if this can improve the services for us? 

Kindest regards,

David_Bn

I did that at around 2pm today. No improvement post reboot so far.

Thank you for testing that for us, is this through a wired or wireless connection?

Thank you, Emily

[themoonrat]

Wired.

At times I've resorted to using a wireless connection to a mobile 4g hotspot on my phone... and that's had much stabler latency and packetloss than the wired Virgin!

Thank you for confirming.

I'll pop you over a private message so we can pass security and book an engineer appointment for you to investigate this further then.

Please respond to this by going to the purple envelope in the top right of your screen.

Thank you, Emily.
