      Not much I can see in there, only one main issue on the BQM at ~4.30.

      What devices are you connecting on ethernet cables directly to the Hub3 and what are you connecting on the wifi?  Do you see the same effects on both simultaneously? 

      What Hub model is it and what are the various Hub lights showing/doing when this happens - is the base light a steady white(ish) or flashing green or something else?

      Finally,what have VM said to you regarding your connection issues and complaints and have you checked for "known issues" on 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 and fix estimates, down to street cab/ postcode level.

        Just my PC connected via ethernet. 

        No known outage in my area.

        VM have been completely unhelpful, promising call backs from managers when their outsourced call centre script reading can't help. 

        I've had no call backs and have had complaints disappear. 

        The issue I see is always on my ethernet connection. I have tried many different cables, all coax connections are snug, i've had one engineer round who tbh looked like he couldn't he **bleep** to be here and said nothing wrong here.

    BQM to hub shows mostly fine but then this is not over Ethernet so maybe your PC needs reinstalling.

    Or you can use hub in modem mode with the PC allowing inbound ICMP remote IP 80.249.99.164 by firewall on a new BQM to show the problem over night

    Thanks. I have the hub 5 arriving today to test.
    I will update, hopefully with positive news.

      Hi denizen

      Thank you for the update.

      Please do let us know if the new Hub has improved things.

      Please pop back to us when you can.

        I am still getting daily multiple disconnections from 10 seconds to a minute or two.

        Now on hub5, all ethernet, tried new cables, ports etc. In router mode.

        Broadband Quality monitor doesn't really show the disconnections, the latency spikes but only now and then are the disconnections appearing as the small red blips at the top.

        Here's a good example -

    No area issue reported. It's been a year of this now without resolution.

    I have a complaint open, and other than a missed phone call, the email that was sent to be, I have replied to but have had no answer - how can i email to someone on an open complaint?

      Thanks for coming back to us denizen, I have looked into this and our system has advised that a technician visit would be needed to resolve the issues that you're experiencing.

      I can arrange the appointment from here but would need to confirm a few details via a private message, that I will drop over in a moment. Please look out for the private message and we can get started. I can also get a complaint raised for you once account security has been. 
      Kind Regards,
      Steven_L

    And when it is connected, the speeds are awful?

      Thanks for the recent update denizen.

      I understand that one of my colleagues has recently sent you a private message to assist you with the resolving of this matter.

      Can you please drop them a response?

      We will then be best placed to get to work on having this resolved

      Thanks,

        I answered the security questions accurately and now they are asking for bank details.

        I had/have a complaint raised, but I have no email address I can reply to, so the complain will be closed again automatically.

        Can I have an email address I can reply to via my complaint?
