5 to 40 meg after 1gig install.

Sielliott
Tuning in

I had 1gig installed yesterday after nothing but problems from Sky/ openreach but I am having problems with virgin now. In the first hour I was getting anything from a few meg to 370 but now I can’t get over 40 but upload is constantly at 50meg. I have tried factory reset of the hub a few time and power cycling as well. Any help would be appreciated cheers.

Testing by wire?

I have the vm in modem mode and cat 8 up to a tp link archer mr600 which does a speed test. 

Do you have a sim in it?

Yes it does. I have it set up as back up should the vm line go down.

I see that your system has the Hub in modem mode.

However if you need to discover if the Hub's service is / is not the issue, with the Hub in Router mode the link below speed tests the Hub.

Have done this and still have the same results but thanks. At least I know now that it’s not my equipment. 

I have done a Sam knows best speed test and it really slow to the hub too. I have an engineer coming on Thursday so hopefully he can fix it.
