Hi all,

Over the past few weeks I have had broadband connection issues that causes complete disconnection for about 1 to 5 minutes at a time - pretty frustration for all the family when streaming or gaming.

Online, VM are reporting there are issues in the area, but until I logged on to do some online enquiries, was the first I'd heard of the issues.

I have spoke to my neighbour who has said they do not have any current issues and her boys are gaming a good 10 hours each a day without reporting any problems.

I have logged onto my Hub5 and run the diagnostics which reports problems with the Ethernet and WiFi - could it actually be a Hub issue?

I have tried contacting VM but phone and chat, both methods are pretty useless. OK might be current time of year, but they're a service company and should be able to receive/log calls/issues regardless.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in Advance,

Martin

Try this free phone number. Hubs are the least likely cause of problems, although you cold try power cycling it.

Check with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 If you have a VM landline 150 this goes down to post code level. You could also try the web page status, but this is not recommended as it only covers issues that affect a very large number of customers.

Thanks for the quick response.

I have switched off the hub overnight hoping for some sort of resolution, but this didn't work.

I have used the 150 phone number, the website and the online chat, all have been really poor.

It has been suggested that I disconnect the incoming cable as something could be reassigned a new code (if set to dynamic), which I haven't changed anything in the hub except the ssid name/password.

This is the result of the inbuilt diagnostics:

Having checked the suggested resolutions I'm a little stumped and frustrated.
