Internet keeps dropping out

shadycritt3r
Tuning in

I have Virgin Media internet and have recently been experiencing issues with internet temporarily going down for about 60-120 secs a time. This has been happening all weekend. The WiFi signal doesn't drop

 

I'm using the Hub 3.0 in modem mode, and I can see the following in the logs

```

02/08/2021 10:29:35criticalSYNC Timing Synchronization failure - Loss of Sync;CM-MAC=OMITTED;CMTS-MAC=OMITTED;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;

I don't really want to call Virgin, because I know full well I'll have to go through their basic checks, put the hub3.0 back into router mode, and the WiFi just isn't good enough for the amount of devices I have.

 

Any advice as I think there is a Virgin issue, but there service status say's everything is fine

Go back to the status page where you found that fragment of the network log.  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 all of 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.

Hey, thanks for the response:

All looks bad - network log shows a rotten connection, there's too many post-RS errors, the downstream power levels are very low, and the usptream is seeing too many timeouts.  I'll mark for staff to advise.

Thank you very much for taking a look

Hi @shadycritt3r, thanks for getting in touch.

 

Apologies for the connection issues you've been experiencing. Thanks @Andrew-G for flagging.

 

I've taken a look into it and can confirm there's a known SNR issue in the area which is currently estimated to be resolved tomorrow morning. If you're still having problems with your connection at that point please let us know so we can check for an update & take further action if required.

Thanks for the update.

Look forward to the issue being resolved tomorrow

 

Have a good day
