Hi, I have a 1 Gig speed connection, diretly connected to pc, usually is 950 megs, but now in the past week keeps droping to 50 60 megs, I restart hub 4 so many times a day now, it  works for a bit then there we go again, is really bad. What is going on?

I has some issues months ago engineer came around checked all cables, hub all fine and no solution was given and speed was better for a while now same issues.

What was the outcome of your PM discussion with VM Matthew ?

The BQM looks a lot better today - lets see what the evening hours bring.

Might be worth doing a 60 second pinhole reset of the Hub now

whilst waiting can you try a "pure" speed test exactly like this...
___________________________________________________

As you expect >100Mbps then connect a 1GB enabled computer/laptop, with up to date drivers, via a NEW and working Cat5e/6a ethernet cable, directly to the Hub which you have put into “modem mode” (https://www.virginmedia.com/help/virgin-media-hub-modem-mode ). This ensures that NO other devices are connected

Test speeds a t https://speedtest.samknows.com/ - try on 2 different browsers as Chrome sometimes gives odd results.

If they are still low – boot your device into Windows safe+networking mode - to disable any potentially interfering software - and try again.

There are many posts on here (I have a list of ~30!) where QoS software, anti-virus, unknown/flaky software, old network card drivers, corrupted browsers, bad cables or other connected devices are limiting speeds on tests.

Report back what that gets. For examples of why... see message 7 in the first thread and 9 in in the second and 3 in the third

I am talking to him today, I was waiting to see if speed improved and nothing changed.

You say improved but I am still on 1 gig plan getting 50 megs.
