connection drop out with Hub 5

On our wavelength

i have issues since tuesday, hub 5 shows white solid light and connected, speed is very slow, and when ever you try to upload the Hub drops the connection and flashes red, after few minutes it returns to white but again speeds as low as 100mb despite being on 1gb service, spoke to CS at 8 AM who said an engineer was needed despite almost no trouble shooting, after a second call the 2nd agent suggested cancelling the visit claiming there was an outage despite no outages on status check.

after 5 minutes of basic checks once again said allow 24 hours for fix as he believes it to be an outage, even though my next door neighbour has no issue with their connection. 

anyone else having these issues and how to fix

If it is a "known problem"...

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 and fix estimates, down to street cab/ postcode level.

I do not work for VM. My services: HD TV on VIP (+ Sky Sports & Movies & BT sport), x3 V6 boxes (1 wired, 2 on WiFi) Hub5 in modem mode with Apple Airport Extreme Router +2 Airport Express's & TP-Link Archer C64 WAP. On Volt 350Mbps, Talk Anytime Phone, x2 Mobile SIM only iPhones.

but no one at tech support can offer any fix, been told its equipment issue, then network issue now an agent is saying she has no clue despite replicating it on the call and as soon as any data is uploaded the router goes red and disconnects, been hit with huge price increase and then a service that is not usable as daughter cant even do online course work due to it cutting off as soon as she starts zoom call and there is any data upload

Have you ignored the advice to call 0800 561 0061  to find out if there is a known fault in your street that is causing your difficulties ?

Please Copy / Paste the text from the Hub 5 Upstream & Downstream connection tabs , perhaps we can see this issue in the stats which puts you in a better position to request and engineer comes to fix it.

there is no issues

The downstream data table is suggesting an issue - huge post-RS errors are not good - but they may be historic from a one off event - so can you double check by doing this...

Switch the Hub off and unplug it from the mains supply for five minutes. Whilst it's off, do a quick check that all of your coax and ethernet cable connections are in nice and "finger" tight - at the Hub and wall box and also at any connectors etc. Ensure there are no “unterminated cable loose ends. Disconnect all the connections and reconnect to be sure. Also check that the internal wiring is ok with no kinking or chaffing. Check that all looks good with the outside cabling and wall box (no “staples, etc.,) piercing the cables. Then switch the Hub back on and leave ~5 minutes

When all done, check back in the settings and ensure that the RS error counts and T3 errors have all reset to 0. Then check every hour or so to see if they start reappearing - they shouldn't. If they do (particularly the postRS and T3 ones) you have a problem (noise) that only a Tech visit will sort.
Also check the Upstream QAM’s are all at 64

thanks will do this now, an engineer has now been booked too after the 8th call to tech support, agent took me to sam knows real speed test and it showed 110 mb to router, she said oh thats fine at least it is connected, ended up speaking to supervisor who agreed to engineer
