Wifi Keeps on Disconnecting and the Speeds are ridiculously Low.

Ever since I got Virgin Media, it has been atrocious, there have been constant issues in my area that Virgin apparently can’t fix each time they go, My wifi box goes green and doesn’t work often when I’m watching a movie in the evening, I just did a speed test and I’m getting 24mbps and 19 upload, I’m paying for 350mbps.
It always disconnects on my iPhone aswell as my devices

Im using my Mobile Data to write this post because my wifi is too slow.

Im not paying any addons or another router as I paid to have a good connection, that’s all, not any Add ons what so ever.

Sky was a lot better, there speeds were less but they were sufficient enough.

Ive linked my Broadband quality meter and Downstream and upstream levels down below.

Nothing untowards there- a few T3's may be an issue but need to see if they are historical or increasing - post up the Network logs as well - and BQM looks fine

You say VM know there is an issue they cant fix? Why what is it they cant fix? Overutilisation perhaps ? If so there is no evidence for that on the BQM.

Have you checked recently for “known network faults”

As well as trying the “check service,”Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum), also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to postcode level

Hello, there are no faults in my area but it seems like the wifi is having more issues and is getting slower, GeForce Now is lagging as well but I don’t know why?

How are wired device speeds in comparison?
