High Packet Loss & T4 Timeouts - Area Ref: 15

[XLLC3]

Hi there,

Starting last night (2nd Dec) I've been getting some pretty insane packet loss on my connection, anywhere from 10 ~ 50% accompanied by an increase in mostly T4 timeouts on my Hub (along with a few T2 and T3, but mostly T4). Both MyVirginMedia and 0800 561 0061 indicate no faults in my area, and yet...

Would it be possible to check and see if there are any faults in my area?

Thank you.

Have you called CS and see what they say when they test your connection? Some localised faults may not appear on the 0800 number until they know about them through customers calling in.

I note you are using a Superhub (not a Hub3/4/5)... which model is it? Is it in modem mode with your own router - or in normal router mode. Do you have ethernet cable connections into it (or the router) ? If so can you disconnect them all and see if the BQM cleans up. If it does then plug them back in one by one to identify where the issue lays.  Also try a new ethernet cable to connect your laptop/computer to the SH in cas it is "failing".

Hello @XLLC3,

Welcome back! Thanks for posting.

I am sorry for the issues with your broadband recently.

We are aware of an SNR Outage in your area, the estimated fixture time is showing for the 10/12/21 but this is subject to change.

Many thanks,
