Hi  Chris.

Thank you for this.

Can I just ask if the scheduled visit for today is still happening in light of this too?

I've been advised an engineer is calling between 12 and 4 today, although this still doesn't show on my appointments section in my account!

My upstream figures appear to be the issue (so I'm told, being around 29 is too low apparently) but even though these figures appear to be remaining constant, I've NOT had any dropouts now for about a week or so!

Current figures are below.

Re: Connection drops, twice a day at least!

Hi Chris, 

Thanks for coming back to us. 

How did the engineer visit go? Sometimes it can take up to 24 hours for the appointment to show under your My Orders. If the visit for within 24 hours then it may not show at all. 

Did the engineer come? How have things been since you last posted? 

If things haven't improved then pop back here and let us know so we can take another look at things. 

Thanks,

Kath_F

Hi.

Engineer did arrive and has increased my upstream.

Prior to the visit I hadn't had any dropouts and this is till the case until now, so hopefully all is good now, but will let you know should there be any future problems.

The regularity of "Atom is restarting" messages make me think that there's something badly wrong with the hub if they continue to appear.  If it works OK without dropouts then I suppose you may not care, but somebody who wrote the hub's firmware thought that this was a significant enough event to merit writing to the Network log.  And yours seems to be doing it all the time, when the normal number of "Atom is restarting" errors is zero. 

As a personal view I would hazard a guess that some connection or critical component inside the hub is failing, that's causing the Atom process running on one of the hub's processors to abort and be restarted.  I'm surprised that the forum staff haven't picked this up and either referred it to the VM product team in order to explain what the error refers to, what is causing it, and justify if they claim it is not a problem.  Or better still they could just have arranged for a replacement hub.

An engineer did attend, on 10th November, and sorted out the drop-outs, it appears though, to be affecting my download speed, as since then, its been low most days.

The last time it got anywhere near my estimated speed was a month ago, and ever since has been below 50% of the predicted download speed of 200 Mbps.

Ditto.

Mine is exactly the same.

Most unreliable broadband connection I've ever had with any ISP.

Going to be telling them to get it fixed or get it out very soon.
