Logically, switching between router and modem mode won't make any difference other than the (perhaps temporary) benefit of a restart and re-registration of the hub, since if there are any latency problems on the VM network these will be between the cable modem to CMTS. I'd restate my view that on the figures originally posted by @umar328 there's too many T3 timeouts across all upstream channels, which should not be there, based on the implied run-time from the pre-RS levels on the downstream.
We don't know if there is a VM latency problem yet, so something else for you (umar328) to try is to setup a Broadband Quality Monitor. That will show if anything is going on with your VM connection. Post a LINK to a LIVE, SHARED graph here and we'll see what's happening, don't post screenshots or a link to your logged in view of Thinkbroadband. Usually needs to run for 24 hours before we can draw reasonable conclusions, but the live graph will continuously update so you can post the link immediately.
Umar328 - sorry if this all sounds a bit techno-babble, bear with us, setup the BQM, usually these sorts of problems can be resolved. The other (main) possibility is that there is a latency problem due to any work VPN routing, but that would not normally affect Zoom calls if that's the "public" service.

Hi @umar328,
Thank you for updating us and setting up a BQM, this will enable us to see a clearer picture of what is happening when you take Zoom calls / Teams meetings.
Kind regards,

Hi @umar328,
Thank you for coming back to us about your connection issue.
I cannot see any dropped packets on the BQM charts that you previously attached. I did have another look at your account however, and I can see that your Hub has the current uptime of 155 days.
Would you be able to reboot your Hub to see if this can help resolve your connection issue?
Please give this a try and let us know how you're getting on.
Thanks! 🙂

i have rebooted the Hub, even before posting on this site and there hasnt been any changes regarding my experience using TEAMS and Zoom
the issue is persitant across a number of Virgin users when searching the this site
there is obviously a configuration issue here and its most likely from Virgin as ive never experieced this issue previously
what is the next course of troubleshooting ?
Kind regards
