Hello,
For roughly the past 2 weeks or so, our broadband connection has been having some issues where every 5-10 minutes, there will be an incredible lag spike for a second or two, to the point where streams will buffer and games will disconnect temporarily or will fail to connect while searching for games.
It has become increasingly annoying to put up with and would like some help with the issue.
Thanks

I've done everything I can think of to try and fix the problem i.e. making sure all of the cables are plugged in properly, restarting the hub many multiple different times and even restoring the factory settings of the hub. Nothing helped unfortunately. It seems to be a universal issue, across both wifi and ethernet.
The only thing I can think of now is that its potentially an issue with the hub, although it is relatively new since we were sent out the latest one earlier this year/late last year, or an issue with the line to the house but perhaps there's some other explanation.

I'll do that, thanks for the help! Hopefully it sorts everything out.

Unfortunately, even though there are 0 Post RS errors, the issue does seem to be persisting. I could believe that it is simply interference (because our hub is really not in a good spot) but we've been with VM for 15 years now and the hub has always been in the same place. I don't remember having a problem so consistent as this before.
If anyone from VM does actually see this, I could do with someone coming out anyway, as the box on the outside of the house has been broken and the wire and connection (2 wires are connected) has been exposed for some time.

Modem mode seems perfectly fine. I realise it wasn't exactly a long period of time for testing, but I changed back to router mode and almost instantly the issue was back.
