Hi, 

My issues with high packet loss started a while ago and never been resolved by virgin media technical support over the phone. They did offer me to buy one of the boosters to pay monthly .. that will be delivered to me next Friday but not sure how that is going to help me as it looks like is meant to boost your WiFi and not the wired connection.    

Network is wired straight from the router to my desktop PC so there is not an WiFi related issue.

I have tried different settings and tips over and over again but nothing helps .   

See router status, this has been reset to factory just hours ago.

Hi Ene,

Sorry to hear you're experiencing issues whilst gaming and welcome to our Community Forum.

Can I ask whether you're experiencing connection issues whilst not gaming or playing a different branded game on a different server?

Thanks,

Lisa

Hi Lisa, 

Thank you for your reply,

I do experience this issues in different games and also different servers. I play FPS games like Counter-Strike Global Offensive, COD Warzone and Overwatch , I have a really bad experience playing any of them and especially Counter-Strike Global Offensive where I get constant stuttering every few seconds on every server that I play on.

It does happen to lose connection for couple of seconds while on the phone connected to wi-fi also but I`m not really stressed about this issue that much as it has not been that bad for general use, the issue is gaming where its really bad and frustrating.

I have tried to call Virgin trying to find a solution but they never been able to help me over the phone.I have upgraded to M200 thinking that is going to be a lot better but feels like is even worse then before, recently I have been recommended over the phone to use the virgin media booster kit which just got delivered today but doubt this will improve as I`m connected directly to the router by Ethernet cable. 

Please see the last results below:

Please let me know if I need to post any other details and thank you for you help.

Thank you for posting the additional information Ene, I'm going to send you a Private Message to get some more details from you to look into this further.

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Hello again, 

In the last few weeks I have tried to use the booster recommended by Virgin Media team over this forum as well as over the phone and been told that this is the only solution to my problem.

Well, being on an Wired connection via Ethernet cable, this has not improved at all my broadband issue apart form increasing my monthly payment to have the device. 

Is there any other solution or my last call will be to cancel and try to find a better broadband around my area ? 

I will post a new Think Broadband Graph tomorrow as it looks like my IP address has "changed ?" and had to create a new profile. 

Thank you.

I fixed mine by turning the firewall off on the router, not ideal but the lag spikes left me no option
