What a disaster.

Probably a network fault in your area of some sort.

Could be a broken coax cable corroded joint/splitter somewhere.

1 upstream channel is hopeless.

Virgin need to get on it.

Well the coax cable for the router hasn't been changed since either 2008 or 2012, so could be eroded, I told VM to tell the engineer to bring a new coax cable, unsure if the box in the wall needs to be replaced too... 

Also I've seen the new ones have like a splitter, ours doesn't gave that, it's just one long coax cable from the box in the wall to the SH3, I've run the test and it said no issues or it keep telling me to check the coax cable is firmly in place

Do this equipment look old? I know it it most likely is but I'm unsure what the 'new' equipment looks like, god this must have been installed in 2007!!!

Pffft - Newbie!!

Mine says NTLWORLD on it.... 😉

LOL!
Well we did move in 2007, before that we had Virgin Media too I believe, back when I was using a 15 inch LCD screen with a 256mb ram computer! 😄

Btw here is an update, it looks like someone else has also reported issues with their Virgin Media Services, my one is the 15th June one.

Ditto, my cables are the same ones from over 20 years ago and I've no issues.  😉

Here is the full graph now, the red part near 12pm is probably when i reset the router.

My internet is working at the moment and the speed test showed I'm getting 110mbps down and 10mbps up, so what does it mean if you only have 1 upstream channel, what is the different with having only 1 and having more???
