Errors: Lost MDD Timeout - RCS Partial Service - LAN login FAILED

Neato
Tuning in

Hiya all!

We've had intermittent broadband service the past 2 days. The modem connection drops every 10 minutes or so for about 5 minutes each time. Service is fine for other Virgin Media user in our street, so the problem is likely to do with our house connection.

Below is a snapshot of our current error logs on the modem (Hub 3):

Can anyone shed some light on what the issue is so I can provide the service team with some concise information to troubleshoot it with?

Many thanks, Neato

Yep.  Signal to noise ratio is too low on half of the downstream channels.  Could be an area SNR fault that will have a fix date/time already arranged, or may be that something's been changed relating to your particular connection.  I'll mark for the forum staff to advise, and they'll book a technician if one is needed and you haven't already got on booked.

If you're planning to phone this in then feel free, but it could be a long winded and not very satisfying experience; personally I'd wait for the forum staff to take a look.

Your modem is struggling to maintain a network lock. In order to rule out a problem with your equipment power off the hub, check that all coaxial connections are tight between the hub and wall socket, and power on the hub again. Post your stats and log again.

Hi Neato,

 

Sorry to hear of the problems experienced with your broadband connection and the errors, we appreciate you taking the time to raise this via the forums and welcome to the community!

 

From looking at the connection and equipment there are some problems at the moment, there aren't any reported area issues in regards to SNR but there are issues showing in the level's which will require a technician. 

 

I'm going to send you a Private Message to get some more details from you to arrange a visit. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

 

Rob

Thanks Roger, following your advice...

Your power levels are too low on several downstream channels, so a tech needs to be sent round to investigate.

Thanks for providing the requested details Neato, I've looked again this morning and can see you have rebooted the Hub recently. The issues that were present previously appear to have cleared up, has the connection improved?

 

If not, let me know and I will arrange the technician for you.

 

Rob

Thanks Rob, I'll monitor the performance through the first part of the day and let you know. The issue tends to happen around 6pm onwards, so it might be nice to have an engineer to possibly take a look if they are available. I don't think we've had an engineer check us out since we were initially hooked up over 10 years ago.

Here is the latest status:

Hi @Neato,

I'm just checking in to see how your services have been? Have you seen an improvement?

Thanks,
