Persistent intermittent connection (Hub 3)

Hello, I'm desperate for help as this issue won't seem to go away and is currently leaving me with barely any service (disaster because I work from home and it's causing untold stress).

basically service started getting a bit patchy 2 weeks ago and has progressively got worse, to the point where it feels like we get 4 minutes on, then off again. I've tried all the fixes - check cables, reboot, reset a million times - and an engineer attended 4 days ago. He said it was a faulty isolator on the hub, replaced it and all was well immediately after. But now it's worse than ever and VM can't send an engineer until Friday - this will mean that I've been without a reliable connection for almost 3 weeks! It's completely unworkable and it seems like many others are having similar issues. 

  • What I'm worried about is that on Friday the engineer  perform some fix and the same thing will happen again (I had a similar issue back in March that went on and on - that time the engineer removed an outdated splitter from the outside box that they said was messing the service up) - I seem to be locked a cycle where the root cause isn't being found. I've performed a BQM and am posting the latest graph below. Looks pretty bad to be honest - something is clearly wrong and I'm desperate for help to fix this for once and for all 🙏 thanks in advance

Addition to original post: I have been checking the service status page online and have been calling the freephone number and it's saying there are no issues affecting service in the local area.
