On our wavelength

I've been getting really frequent ~2 min drops in my connection and the router status logs are showing some concerning error rates - pasted below about 20 hours after a restart. Can anyone help me out please?

Even though it has only been running a very short time you >> BQM << is looking bad.

The actual stats don't look too bad although you do have a lot of Post RS Errors, you can try and clear them by switching the Hub off for 5 minutes using the small switch on the rear next to the power cord. When you restart the Hub allow it at least 5 minutes to sort itself out. Once they are zeroed keep an eye on them, they should be very slow at going up.

With the bad BQM and OK Hub stats I would guess that there is an area fault.

Have you checked the 'Check Service Status' at the top of the page ?

If nothing is showing try phoning 0800 561 0061, this will tell you of more local issues that may be affecting the area. Be aware that it isn't a manned line.

Hi mycleung,

 

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. 

 

My apologies for the broadband issues. There's nothing showing on our system, however there a few too many T3's. 

 

Can you do a PIN reset for me and then monitor it, to see if it fixes? Kind regards,

Still getting intermittent drops I'm afraid - anything else we can try?

Sorry for the ongoing problems you're having with your connection @mycleung.


Checking things from here now I can see that the hub is out of spec will require the attention of an engineer.
I have booked you in with the next available appointment. You will find the appointment time slot via your online account (virg.in/myVM) and it can also be rescheduled or cancelled from there if needed.


If there's anything else please give us another shout.

Thanks for your help Tom_F, unfortunately I had to cancel the engineer visit due to covid. Is there any chance you could book it in again for me please?

Hello mycleung

Tom is off today, but I am able to book a new appointment

What I will do is book one in for you 

Then you can go to your online account to reschedule this
