Sudden intermittent loss of connectivity and slowness

Adamhully
Tuning in

Since about 2PM today my internet has been dropping out across all my devices, both Wifi and wired. Simple ping tests to 8.8.8.8 come back with no response. Lights on the Hub all look fine. 

When the connection does come back, it's very slow. Right now I'm getting 3Mb/s instead of the usual ~210Mb/s. The upload speed is a solid 20Mb/s though which is good.

I checked the network details on the hub and I'm not an expert but I don't think it looks good.

It's the Superhub 2 so quite old, not sure if it's just on it's way out?

Thanks.

A lot of problems.

Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web page status, but this is not recommended.

VM will not dispatch any technicians while an area fault exists.

If no faults found:

Call Customer Services on 0345 454 1111/150 if you have a VM landline or wait two or three days for a VM staff member to get to your post.

Thanks for the speedy reply, and confirming my suspicions. I'll give them a ring.
