Network dropping packets since March 15th

Andyt
On our wavelength

Hello,

I have been having packet losses on my connection since March 15th.

This occurs on both wired and wireless connections, and also both router and modem mode across all devices on the network.

I contacted support, and they sent out an engineer to install a replacement HUB5

The engineer came over and installed the new HUB5. I gave it over a week, but still the packet losses still happened.

Engineer discussed the possibility of installing FTTO, as he didn't know where the fault is.

I would rather avoid having to go to FTTO straight away to avoid additional holes and boxes installed on the inside of the house.

I have attached the latest BQM of the network to show the red packet loss spikes. These spikes occur randomly, sometimes it can be perfect for 4 hours, but some cases, it can happen one after the other. This packet losses cause websites to buffer and not load for 20-30 seconds at a time before the HUB5 decides to sent a MDD message timeout and fixes the issue.

I thought my devices were causing the issue, but disconnected everything except for a wired connection and then only a wireless connection, still this issue occurs.

I'm having the Same Issue !!! been like it for 12 days now !! ... Had two engineers out who said it seems like a node need fixing and hopefully they are doing it behind the scenes and to contact him next week (being tomorrow) so he can chase it up with his manager. 

If I somehow hear anything about what is causing this ill make sure to let you know!
