Just a brief message to ask what's happening in South bristol, I been trying to get my parents connection fixed for a long time there tv and streaming services are really effected. Mine up until recently was in a reasonable state. So I've been getting up and down profile changes every day is this normal? What isn't normal is the 15, 20 in one day after many 60 second resets it always goes back to bad within minutes or hours.
Bqm shows constant packet loss, correctables shows 6 digits after reboot, but populates very quickly to the billions on my down profile. Parents 3.1 ds is over 10dbmv to high and gets double sometimes triple digit uncorrected on the 3.1 ds, numerous profile changes per day also. There bqm is terrible and has been for months. I checked for area for any work or faults on the phone says there is none. WiFi for them don't work hub will not let me change channel or frequency for the 2.4ghz, it shows try again, also won't apply the disable smart WiFi.
Looked outside to check there f connectors for loose ones could not believe the state in there, disconnected line and fp attenuator just left there all tangled and not in good order. Let's be real the problems are network side.
Some help would be appreciated, I've just setup 2 more bqm today at different local homes to show its not my internal line as senior engineer already confirmed good to the taps, yet sometimes vm ask about my asus gt-axe16000 which is nothing to do with anything or the qos I recieve. I will add some bqm and stats if anyone can see anything I can't as I'm a mere customer here. This is getting out of hand. Many thanks good day. 👍

Hi Viper-t,
Thanks for taking the time to contact us via the Community. It's lovely having you on board with us in the Forums. ⭐
We're sorry to hear you've been having an issue with your network. Taking a look at things here we can see your signal levels are too low and the downstream power levels are also a little high. We won't be able to fix this remotely so I would like to arrange for an engineer to come to take a look at this for you.
I just need to confirm the address to ensure we are booking the visit on the correct account. I have sent you a direct message to allow us to do this with you in a private space. If you are using a PC/Laptop then you can just click on the little ✉ at the top right-hand side of the page to access your inbox. If you are on a mobile/tablet device then instead click on the little circle icon in the top right then select 'Messages'. 😊
Thanks,

Hi Kath so my power levels are in spec according to virgin +10, docsis standard is +7 anyhow, so what's wrong with all the profile changes for all of us and packet loss please? As my power is in spec yet I am seeing the same packet loss and huge t3 counts and upstream Ranging problems on channel 3,4,8 I don't have a channel 8 for upstream. I'm still getting profile changes every 3-5 minutes. Is there an area fault?

Hi kath can you answer when you have a minute why I keep getting profile changes please? Is there any works in our area as we all have the same issues. Today after months of upstream modulations not dropping today they have all dropped here we go again. If this starts all over again it will 100% go to small claims for all last year too, as I'm not going through that again I have complaints team in messages with me for the last few months keeping an eye on things but it looks like it's all starting again. Many thanks
