Huge Latency issues, ping spikes ongoing for 6 months

I have had ongoing ping spikes for 6 months, I have put up with it all this time knowing that we are in a pandemic and that virgin media might be overused. However this has been going on for far too long and I'm finally fed up of lagging on video games. I will post network logs and BQM. I have already had a technician over that could not fix anything. Please can anyone help?

Hi mizzy887, 

Thanks for coming back to me via private message with your information. 

Our diagnostics on your home network and Hub have not found any issues that could account for the issues you're seeing. The area network segment has no congestion on either. 

Given the engineer has also been and advised the same I'm not quite sure where to go with this one.

Can you post your BQM live link so we can monitor this. I can also use this to refer this over to the Area Manager then too. 

Speak soon,

Hi, I'm not sure how a problem can not be seen from my household. I have shared a live BQM and every day there has been ping/latency issues. Which have been going on for months. The engineer didn't help as they just took an average ping in the morning and said that everything is fine?? I have then texted them with proof of the issues and the said they would keep me updated on the situation as they know there is still an issue. However they have not replied since. I'm quite disappointed in this service. I love the speeds virgin media have to offer but the ping when gaming is unbearable. Below you can find a live BQM.

Also I believe this a congestion issue as my friends that live close by who are also on virgin have ping issues at the exact same time I do. This is usually around peak times of 8-12 (as can be seen on my BQM graph) sometimes earlier sometimes later. I would really appreciate if someone would look into these times of the day on my network.

That is congestion, blatantly.

Hello @mizzy887,

Welcome back, thanks for posting.

I checked our systems, I can not see any errors coming back from the equipment. I also can not see an area fault causing this. I am sorry for any congestion issues, please can you tell me how it is for you at the moment?

Many thanks,

Hayley

It is still terrible as can be sen by the picture. Is there anything I can do to solve this? This must be congestion as I lag at the same time as my friends who are also on virgin and they live 10-15 mins away from me. However my friend who lives 5 mins away from me does not have ping issues. Is there anyway I can get my green box changed so I can leave this congested box. Or be provided my personal one for my own home?

Hello @mizzy887,

Sorry what do you mean by your green box? Do you mean the cabinet for your area?

Many thanks,
