2Gb/2Gb Fibre - interruptions hourly - Samknows realspeed

So - had the 2gb / 2gb fibre service for about 2 months now - and mostly it's great.

But - every hour - on the hour - I get a freeze up for 10-15 seconds.

If I'm in a teams meeting it just locks up, but if I'm playing an online game it freezes, then disconnects me.

I switched back to my mobile boradband & everything is fine, but on virgin fibre? Every hour, it freezes up.

Doing some digging this looks to be checking with samknows realspeed without my knowledge & screwing up my sessions!
How do I stop this? There doesn;t appear to be any config settings on the hub 5x that are relevant - VIRGIN MEDIA - please can you stop killing my internet every hour!

Looks like whatever they did fixed my regular disruptions - no more hangups on set hourly intervals.

Service was always good (despite the blips) - now I couldn;t really ask for more.

I have 2Gb/2Gb and seeing at my main computer speeds that are pretty close to maxed (over wifi7) about 30 feet & 2 walls from the router. I'm not using the VM wifi on the hub 5x, using a fancy Asus router for that.

A very impressive BQM indeed for VM. Let's hope this is the future folks.

Wow that latency is nothing like DOCSIS!

Now all we need is modem mode on the 10Gb port

I would hope not considering it's FTTP.
