Packet loss after a reset

bel-akor
Tuning in

Hello,

After a random reboot that happened at night there is a constant loss of packets on the BQM. The reboot occurred on 30/01/2022 and was not initiated by the home users as far as I'm aware.

I think there was a similar instance before that from 17/01 to 18/01 and rebooting the router from the admin page solved it. Now, however, the reboot has no effect and the packet loss continues.

Lagspikes are also a constant issue, I haven't played after the packet loss has started but it was really bad before, as seen on the graphs. As usual, it probably comes down to the over subscription in the area, but please check that as well, if possible.

Tech data below.

Thank you.

DS power far too low, range should be -6 to +10. US power right in the top limit, range 34 to 51.  You also have a bad line as indicated by the PostRS errors.  A VM technician will need to fix this. Wait here a day or two for a VM Mod to pick this up.

Sorry, not 100% sure, how the moderation works on this forum.

Can I keep your answer as a helpful one or do they skip the topics that are marked green?

Thanks a lot for your assistance!

Hi @bel-akor,

Thank you for your posts and welcome to our community forums. We're here to help.

I am really sorry to hear that you've been facing some broadband service issues recently. I'm going to send you a private message in a few moments so I can take a closer look at what's going on for you.

Please respond to this at your earliest convenience and we can go from there.

Thanks,

Hi @bel-akor,

Thank you for getting back in touch with us via private message so we could take a closer look at what's going on for you.

As discussed, an engineer visit has now been scheduled and booked. I'm unable to confirm the date/time of the appointment public, but this can be checked and managed/rescheduled if needed via the My Virgin Media online account.

Let us know here how the visit goes either way.

Thanks,

A quick follow-up.

We had 2 engineer visits:

1. Boosted the signal, the power levels improved but 3 channels are still below the threshold and packet loss came back. Overall ds levels are quite low,

2. After checking everything again, the engineer concluded that we need to change the cable going to the house. Apparently, we have a smaller cable installed outside and that might be the source of the problems.

He said that the VM team will do the works outside and there is no need for our participation, since the works are external. However, we did not get the text confirming that these works are confirmed and scheduled.

If possible, can the mod team please check if the VM visit is booked and the ticket is logged?

Thank you.

Hi,

We had a text saying that the engineers are going to work in our area today. However, there are no improvements in the connection quality and we are not sure, that there were any actual works done today (the time slot was 8-1) and we were not contacted except for the text.

Is it possible to check the status of our ticket and whether there are going to be visits later to replace the cable?

Thank you!
