Hi headstream
Sorry to hear you're having trouble with the BQM. I'm afraid that there is no option to enable ICMP requests on your Hub. Sadly, I can't advise how to activate this for you as some of our Hubs allow this and some do not. Turning off the Hub firewall should work, however we'd advise not to do this for security reasons.
Please don't worry about the BQM graph for now, as we can see that there is an outage in your area which will be causing you load speeds/latency and possibly an intermittent connection.
Estimated fix times are subject to change, however the current estimated fix time is for tomorrow.
Please do let us know how things are then.
Beth
