High latency, packet loss - over subscription?

Hi everyone

For weeks now i have been having issues with Virgin 1gig broadband. You can see from the live BQM (Link below) that i am having high latency and packet loss. There have also been a few days where during off peak hours, the router seems to go down for hours (see monitor). I have had an engineer out already and he advised all was fine. Made some tweaks, ran speed tests, usualy stuff. 

These issues only really occur (apart from downtime) during peak hours, so thinking its over subscription?

When playing any sort of online game (im big on fps) latency and packet loss are making it pretty tough and frustrating

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello @FatThor,

Welcome, thanks for posting.

I am sorry for any issues with your broadband.

I located your account using your forums details, I can not see any known issues with your Hub or in home network. Please can you tell me if you have tried doing a pinhole reset recently? Please let me know.

Many thanks,

Hayley

I only have two devices connected(the rest of the house use a second line), a TV that is wireless and my gaming pc which is ethernet about 2 metres away. The pc connection is usually unstable due to latency/packet loss

Both in game and online calls (i work from home) are often laggy

Could it be an oversubscription issue given that it gets worse at peak times?

Hi @FatThor,

Thank you for coming back to us. I was able to run some further checks on your account, and I can see that your downstream power levels are out of spec and could be the reason behind your connection issues.

In order to have this looked into further, I will need to arrange for a technician appointment to have this investigated for you. I will send you a Private Message to confirm a few details before we can have this arranged. Please keep an eye our for a purple envelope at the top right corner of your Forum page. I will be in touch with you soon.

Thank you.
