309Mbps average on M600

ewhitey
Superfast

As above - We're on M600 and after 263 Ookla Speedtests, we have an average of 309Mbps.

I've done everything I know how to including trying new ethernet cables and going from Cat 6 to Cat 7 with no change. Also noted that I had the Super Hub3 in modem mode with three DECOs and had the same numbers but no virtually no wifi issues but now system is monitored we're back to router mode and now even the wifi is dropping with the Deco connections! I also play COD Warzone and the ping for that is an average of 80 maybe but sometimes ranges from 60 to around 140. My PC is also running slow and it's like going back to the eighties when downloading a webpage. I've tried both Cat 6 and 7 direct from Router to PC and Router to PS4Pro and both have similar results in the speed tests.

This has been going on for at least 3 weeks now and I finally called VM about 5 days ago. After the usual plugs, checks, unplugs and reboots, they said they couldn't see an issue and would monitor for 7 days. I've been running a BQM since, as I'm not sure if VM are actually doing anything...Can anyone help?

My BQM as it is presently...

Connect to the hub by clicking on this link http://192.168.0.1/  That should pull up the log in page for the hub.  But don't log in, just click on the link "Check router status"  That'll bring up a window with five tabs.  Open the Downstream tab.  Select all the text (Ctrl-A if using a keyboard), copy it (Ctrl-C), then paste it (Ctrl-V) into a reply here as TEXT not screenshots.  Post that, do the same for the Upstream and Network log.  You'll get an error message when you post the Network log, just click on "post" a second time.

Then we can check for any obvious problems with power, noise or error counts.

Unfortunately I can't spot anything unusual in those hub stats.  The network log is "normal for DOCSIS", there's no post-RS errors, power levels, SNR and modulation look good.  The forum staff will take a look when they get round to your post and advise, but unless they can see something I can't then they won't book a technician.

What I would suggest is doing a series of Thinkbroadband speed tests (logged in) as frequently as possible for a few days, see if you can get at least one test on three consecutive days below half your contract speed, and then invoke VM's minimum speed guarantee, see if that provokes some action?

Hi there.
Thanks for looking at it although it's not the answer i was expecting. - Is my BQM normal...I thought all those spikes meant something and i was told my latency/ping? should be less than 10ms...?
I'll certainly do the Thinkbroadband speed tests again and post them if required.
My most recent were:
25-07-2021 19:50:49 (GMT) 101.3 Mbps 38.5 Mbps Virgin Media
20-07-2021 14:40:54 (GMT) 284.1 Mbps 40.1 Mbps Virgin Media

One annoyance since changing the router back from modem mode is that my two satellite Decos are constantly disconnecting from the first beside the router! I never really had any issues at all when the router was in Modem and the Decos did the donkey work.
Oh and thanks again - really appreciate it 😉

Your modem stats and BQM look very good.

On a DOCSIS connection your minimal ping times to the local gateway will be about 7ms with maximums any where up to 20-30ms

Have you tested your speeds using an Ethernet connected device to the SH (when in router mode) or to the DECO when in modem mode.
Doing that will confirm your speed to the VM Internet without any limitations of WiFi systems.

Also, what speed test site are you using?

Hi there.
All speed tests carried out using Ookla and more recently, Thinkbroadband - On the VM site for the speedtest I get error 404 but i think that's Ookla anyway. The SH was/is in router mode - no wifi and with wifi - and was single cable to PC then PS4Pro using Cat 6 and Cat 7 cables. Before, when using The SH in Modem mode with Decos as main, yields mostly similar readings. My Ookla tests average is 308Mbps from over 200 tests! My most  recent Thinkbroadband tests were 101.3 Mbps and 284.1 Mbps My upload is mostly always around 38-42 Mbps.

Check the BQM is still showing your current IP address - as @Eeeps says, it currently looks healthy, and putting that together with the hub status data I'm seeing nothing I can pin such slow speeds on.  Go into hub status, look at the page titled Configuration, what's the Max Traffic Rate under the heading Primary Downstream Service Flow?

Regarding the Deco disconnects - you have got the Decos in access point mode when the hub is in router mode?
