Dropouts, T3 timeouts, dropped packets. Escalation needed asap

Forum Team please escalate it to Network Team or something because I had 5 engineers already and they were just changing coax cable, wall box, hub and all the nonsense. I need someone who look outside of the property like in the street cabinet and finally fix that

So please do not mention here things like "WiFi", "check connections are finger tight", "reset hub" etc. etc.

And most likely this is an area problem because I used to live on a different street which is about 0.5 mile from my current house and that house was also affected by the same issue and this has been going on for years

1.png  logs and BQM graph are in sync when dropout happens like here 4:27pm when this started and this occurs randomly every few days which is unacceptable for someone who needs a constant stable connection

Its only normal if you caused it as its not normal if it happens and to the gateway show fine

Can you please send engineer Mike again? So he can finally check that street cabinet and he was going to replace the cabling going to my property

Hi @qwertyui thanks for your reply and sorry that this is still ongoing for you.

I can definitely look into this for you, so please expect a PM from me to arrive shortly and respond directly when you can!
Many thanks

Repull was booked on 9 February but so far silence

Hi qwertyui,

Sorry to hear you've not had any updates since the 9th. 

So I can take a closer look at this for you, I've popped you over a private message to get a few more details from you.

Today I had my repull done, new cable from the street has been installed but unfortunately it didn't help. Still dropouts. Unbelievable. Most likely it's an area issue

Hi @qwertyui 

I am sorry you are still having issues?

Have you tried rebooting the hub since the work was carried out to see if this helps?

Yes. Can network team double check for any issues in the area? Maybe someone introducing noise in the line or something

Sorry to hear the issue is ongoing @qwertyui 

We are unable to see any local issues that may be affecting your service. In this case, to best look into this, I am sending you a private message. Please keep an eye out for an envelope at the top right corner of your Forum page. Let me know if you have any issues locating this. I'll be in touch soon
Thanks,

Can you contact local Network Team to look into this because every engineer don't know what to do although they admit and see that there is a problem with disconnections but they don't know what to do.
