Started 2 days ago - I'm assuming this is Covid 19 related? If it is PLEASE confirm Virgin.
380Meg fibre, all networked - pc direct to Hub 3.
All of a sudden: massive lag spikes, interruption, packet loss.
I have tried Modem mode. Tried to reset router.

I've made something of a discovery - it would appear that Virgin aren't necessarily taking us for a ride because they feel like it - I believe their main distribution point for the area is in need of some work and the council seems to have rejected their planning application.
This means that Virgin has to revise and resubmit their plans, or go to appeal, in order to get the planning approved and the work done. But I don't know how long this is going to take, and Virgin could have garnered some of my sympathy if they'd been open about this information.
If you want to find this for yourself, go to Bromley Planning Portal and search for reference 20/01277/FULL1
As for support, I'm wondering if they have a new fix date ready?

@AlteranAncient
I'm trying to find mine on the Wigan Council website but not sure what to search for.
All I can find on Planning is building applications but nothing mentioned about any roadworks if that is what I need to be looking for.

When my previous adress area was over ultilized for over 9months, I was given credit on my bill, pretty shocked why virgin has not even mentioned it here, virgin I am happy for you to pull up my bills for my previous adress and show the credit I received from month 1 until area was fixed

Hi Paul,
I have been here for over 4 months mate but I'll reply to your PM for an update on my 7 month issue

I do honestly wish I had read these forums before signing up with Virgin. I have recently just moved house in which I was with BT of whom provided a decent service in fairness. However, Virgin offered a decent TV and WiFi package, therefore, have gone with them. However, like most people in these threads I've had a massive issue with ping, latency, and jitter.
Speed tests show that I am getting the correct amount of download and upload speeds, although my latency for online gaming is beyond poor. I only have 2 phones, Virgin box, and my Xbox connected to the internet, therefore I can't see it being an internal traffic issue. Additionally, I am connected via ethernet from my gaming system and still experiencing latency issues, which wasn't an issue with BT connected through wireless!
After doing some investigative work it appears that there is a range of issues that cause this, including the Hub 3 router, oversubscription and traffic during peak times.
I am only 2 weeks into my contract and it hasn't been a cracking starts in my honest opinion.

I would seriously consider switching back if you can mate.
Nothing seems to get fixed around here
It's been 7 months of issues for me in Wigan WN2 but obviously COVID hasn't helped.
I reckon I would still be waiting for a fix now if COVID didn't happen but at least it would be just the evenings that are affected.

I think you sent the private message intended for RPBNK to me instead.
It's worth double checking that or maybe send him/her another one just to be sure
