Hub 3 frequently restarting and Partial Service (DS only) internet status

Joining in

Our hub 3 frequently restarts and seems to drop out for no apparent reason. I went on to check the status of the hub and run the network diagnostic tool which didn't show any issues.

I then noticed the internet status was displaying as "Partial Service (DS Only)" which is different from normal.

We rebooted the hub and that made no difference. Later that day it seemed to steady itself out but this has since happened again that same evening and the next morning. I occasionally work from home and need a SOLID internet connection which at the moment I do not trust.

I then googled the issue and found some other threads on this forum. One of my family members called customer support as I was at work, he had absolutely no help as our internet "passed" all the tests and therefore has no issues.

I can see on the network log we had critical errors and warning notifications that I believe must have been missed by the customer support as this is clearly displaying our issues and history of them.

Please help as the internet is vital to not only my ability to work but also my other family members. 

We seem to have had no end of issues recently and it's starting to get tiring.

I am happy to provide further details upon your response.

Hi gillykite,

 

Sorry to hear of the problems experienced with your broadband connection, we appreciate you taking the time to raise this via the forums and for providing all of the additional information.

 

From looking at the connection and as confirmed previously advised all of the levels and spec's are in the ranges we'd expect to see but the RS error's are high considering when the Hub was last rebooted. I'm going to send you a Private Message to get some more details from you to get this looked into further.

 

Looking forward to hearing back from you.

 

Rob

Connect to the hub by clicking on this link http://192.168.0.1/  That should pull up the log in page for the hub.  But don't log in, just click on the link "Check router status"  That'll bring up a window with five tabs.  Open the Downstream tab.  Select all the text (Ctrl-A if using a keyboard), copy it (Ctrl-C), then paste it (Ctrl-V) into a reply here as TEXT not screenshots.  Post that, do the same for the Upstream and Network log.  You'll get an error message when you post the Network log, just click on "post" a second time.

Then we can check for any obvious problems with power, noise or error counts.

Hi,

Well, on the plus side power levels are good.

Signal to noise ratio looks ok.

On the down side (if you have rebooted it recently) you have way too many ) Pre RS Errors & Post RS Errors.

It looks like you have intermittent noise on your line, that would cause it to grind to a halt when it happens.

Don't bother with the phone 'support', trust me its a waste of time.

If you wait here virgin will be along to have a look.

In the meantime it would be a good idea to start up a Broadband quality monitor. It may be very illuminating.

You can also share the link for it on here.

Thanks for the response, these values are taken while the hub seems to be functioning normally (with the internet status showing active). When it inevitably happens again I will check the same tables and post them in here if there are any changes. 

Do you have any idea how long it will take for this to be seen by virgin?

In the future what would you suggest is the best way to contact virgin about any issues I have, with the customer "support" is as useless as we all know?

@risc19 has made an accurate assessment of the faults with the connection.  I've marked the post for staff to take a look and advise.  Unless there's an area fault it will need a technician visit, and if so they can arrange that for you.

Thanks for confirming the details gillykite, I have booked in an engineer visit, the account holder can view this here and let me know once checked if there are any issues with the date or time. I can reschedule it but this was the earliest appointment available so changes may delay the visit.

 

Please also ensure someone over the age of 18 is in the property at the time of the visit or if there are any individuals shielding.
