Try a 60 second factory pinhole reset as below;
Remove any ethernet cables from the Hub and hold the pinhole reset switch for 60 seconds. Do NOT reboot the Hub, just let it do it's thing. Note you will need the passwords from the bottom of the Hub afterwards, so make sure they are legible.

Hi @Jamie13,
A warm welcome to our Community Forums and thanks for your post!
Sorry to hear you're having some issues with the service.
Did a factory reset as suggested by Adduxi help?
Let us know so we can offer further support if needed 🙂

Try checking with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 or if you have a VM landline 150 as small local faults are not listed on the VM status page.
Post the power levels, Pre and PostRS errors and network log from the Hub. Also setup a BQM to monitor your circuit www.thinkbroadband.com/ping
Once done we can comment.
Note VM do not guarantee wifi speeds. All tests should be done wired directly to the Hub. Do a speed test at www.samknows.com\realspeed and post the results.

Thanks for confirming that Jamie13
I've checked our systems at this side and cannot see any issues with your power level, everything looks in spec. There are also no area concerns that might be causing the connectivity issues you're experiencing.
Are you experiencing any issues on your wired devices at all, or it is just over the WiFi? I can see that you have another Pod on the way, please let us know how you get on with this and if it improves your connectivity.
Please also check that any devices that are close to the hub that can be connected directly through ethernet, such as TV's, set top boxes, consoles and desktop etc, are connected and those devices that cannot be wired in but can interfere with WiFi signals, such as any devices with Bluetooth and radios frequencies, are away from the router.
If you are still having issues, I recommend following Adduxi advice, and setting up a BQM and sharing this with us on here.
