Bad upload speed

[Dannilad]

Hi all,

Been having issues with my upload speed the last few days or so. I've been thinking it's probably because everyone is at home hammering the Internet, but yesterday I tightened all the cables and the upload speed improved. Done the same tonight but nothing is working. Download speed is around 200Mbps, but the upload speed I'm only at 0.8-1Mbp if I'm lucky.

I can't see if there's a general area fault and I've tried all the suggestions from Virgin's support team regarding resetting my hub etc.

Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do from my side or am I stuck until tomorrow when the support number is open?

Thanks.

Okay, thanks both for your help, I massively appreciate it.

When the next Tech visits - dont let them leave until you reboot the Hub, let it initialise (5') and look at the upstream data (with them looking over your shoulder) and check all qam's are at 64 and the Up powers are in range! If not then you will need a "Senior Tech/Team" visit to investigate why its struggling

[Dannilad]

Yeah, perhaps I've done myself a disservice by not checking it first. I'll have to get another Tech round and be more vigilant and insistent with it like you said...

Hello @Dannilad,

I will speak to you privately again 🙂

Many thanks,

As an update:

Another engineer came out. Router stats were all good, all qam's were at 64. Power is in the correct range, however now as I'm writing this the speed has once again dropped off the edge of the earth.

This is a screenshot of the stats right now. My speed should be below also.

And just in case, here is the BQM.

Getting kind of ridiculous now 😕
