Cable Internet Down Again. SN4 8 Area.

[HaloTwenty3]

Internet down again since 11am. Called support and guy tried to send a signal through, nothing happened. Waiting for a call from field tech. Nothing coming up on the service status. Router and cable to house is all fine, it was checked and updated by a engineer like a month ago. What's going on. Paying for a service that keeps going down every couple of weeks.

As well as trying the “check service,” Area status webpage" also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to postcode level. These may not be listed on the Area Status web page (Areas are not “Geographic” they are billing areas) as that usually only covers faults affecting 1000’s of customers) so phone may give you more info, but even that wont cover problems affecting just a few customers.

I called that number earlier and again now. No known issues. Thanks though.

It might be specific to you then - to check can you share these details.
_________________________________________________________-

Post up your Hub/network connection details and someone will check to see if there is a problem there.  In your browser’s URL box type in http://192.168.0.1  (or http://192.168.100.1 - if in modem mode) and hit return. On the first page up [there should be no need to login if you have done so before unless you have the New Hub4 when you do] click on the “router status” icon/text at bottom-middle of first page up and then copy/paste as “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here – 2 pages from the Downstream, 2 from the Upstream, & the Network Logs page. Don't worry too much about the formatting it can be easily read & DON’T include personal data or MAC addresses - blank them out - if you copy/paste the data, the board software will do this for you (you may need to click the "submit" button again.

Also, in the meantime... If you haven’t already, set up a free, secure and “offlsite” - “Broadband Quality Monitor” to continually monitor the state of your connection and record any true network dropouts , latency issues, packet drops, etc - it will thus allow you to differentiate between those and simple wifi dropouts. It does it 24/7/365 and it keeps a visual record of any/all of your network disconnections, useful data to have to match to the Network logs (in your Hub settings) and also in discussions with VM - note it will take a few hours to start seeing a sensible picture - post up the “link” to the “share live graph” (as per instructions on the TB website) when it starts to develop.

There is data for 24 down channels and 4 up channels. 2 tables for each - you seem to have missed all the data but the headings and 1 channel is there.

If that's all there is - then you have no connection 🙂

[HaloTwenty3]

Aye, the headings were there but no data. Its like I've been unplugged completely. I'm getting Internet withdrawals now.

Check for known problems first and try a pinhole reset as below.

With the Hub switched "on", disconnect any ethernet connections (leave the co-ax connected) and then push in the “reset pin” with the end of a paperclip/thin nail/SIM tray “tool” or similar (bigger items like ball point pen ends may not press it in far enough) until you feel it at the “stop point” and hold it there firmly for a "timed" minimum of 60 seconds do NOT manually restart the Hub at any time. Leave it 10' or so to stabilise and then your passwords/passphrase for both the Hub settings and the Wifi networks will revert to the two printed on the Hub sticker on its base/side/card. Make sure you use the wifi one for devices connecting to the wifi and the settings/admin one to access the Hub

See if that restores the connection and the data

[HaloTwenty3]

Heya again. I've tried pinhole reset. Tried it in WiFi mode and modem mode. The field tech was supposed to call but hasn't. Not sure if there's much else I can do on my end.
