My broadband is being very inconsistent over all devices. I’m getting issues such as pages suddenly not loading, WhatsApp calls being awful and even YouTube videos not loading, this happens over all devices. Sometimes the connection drops completely and the hub reboots itself. The telephone support are useless and keep saying my connection is fine and sending me an additional Wi-Fi pod.

Far too many PostRS errors, indicative of noise ingress on the circuit.  VM will need to send a technician to check this out.

Also your DS levels are getting too high, the max. level is +10, so that could be lowered as well.

If you wait here a day or two a VM Mod will pick this up.

noise ingress on the circuit, by this do you mean between the vm connection point and their network beyond my house, or could it be between the hub and vim connection point in my house too?

Also any idea if virgin usually compensate people for the weeks their customer service fob people off saying the connection is fine when it wasn’t? (I know you don’t work for vm)

Noise ingress could be anywhere in the circuit to your property. 
You could check your connections in the meantime.

Hi Anoujrr

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community. I am sorry for the broadband issues. It does need a tech which I will send you a PM now to book in. In relation to the automatic compensation question, this doesn't meet the criteria I'm afraid. I will send you the PM now for the tech visit.

Kind regards,
