Hi Folks, long time lurker first time poster. I've been having issues with latency spikes since about october last year on the hub 4. Had countless engineer visits that tell me everything they see is fine and can't find any faults however I've done the ofcom speed thing and its came back saying i can leave penalty free but neither them or virgin can tell me why i can leave or what the problem is. I want to get this issue fixed as the other broadband options in my area are very poor. I have attached a few screenshots from the BQM which i have showed every engineer thats visited and they've told me they dont care or use the BQM that everyone on here seems to want me to use. I don't have the numbers here but i know my power levels are all about +4/5. Is there anything i can possibly do? Is it just a simple case of over utilisation? Can anything be done about that? Honestly so fed up, pointless have 1Gb Internet when i cant even game without packet loss and latency spikes. Thanks for any help

Hi @legacy1 thanks for the reply. I guess id have to call and ask if the upstream channels are maxed out? I do feel like the modem itself stalls but this is the 2nd one ive had in so not sure thats my problem. The VM ping thing doesn't seem to work sorry its just listing thousands of port numbers but no actual data? I also dont think the upload/download is an issue as i rarely ever do any of them apart from the odd game update. Appreciate your help.

Hi Dainch,
Thanks for your post and welcome to the Forums. It's great having you on board with us in the Community instead of lurking in the shadows 😄
I'm sorry to hear about the continued issues you're having with your broadband connection.
Checking our systems today I can see there is a visit booked with a principle engineer to come and check things further for you.
Please pop back and let us know how this visit goes and we can go from there 🙂
Thanks,
