I've followed all virgin troubleshooting guides to no avail. Router has been pinhole reset. Restarted after 30 seconds turned off. Relocated in my living room and is now more than 1m away from other wireless devices. All cables firmly secured and fitted. 

Sadly I cannot test a cabled connection, as I no longer own devices that use a cable except my ps5 and chromecast. Neither of these allow me to conduct a speed test, so I must settle for a wireless test. 

My phone is capable of 1gb speeds, and on the odd (freakishly lucky) occasion, I've obtained a speed of over 500mbps (what I pay for) so I know it is possible with my current set up. 

Preamble over - with the above in mind, why can I normally not get a speed of over 20mbps? This is making my Google Stadia almost unplayable in 4k streaming.

Various possibilities exist, but to get to the bottom of this you'll have to assist us.

This will be much easier if you've got a PC, laptop, Mac or Chromebook.  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.  All we need is the contents of the three titled Downstream, Upstream, Network log, and we need you to select, copy and post these as text, not screenshots.

If you're on a keyboard, open the Downstream tab.  Select all the text (Ctrl-A), copy it (Ctrl-C), then paste it (Ctrl-V) into a reply here.  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.  If you're using a touchscreen you can still do this, it's just a bit of a faff.

And in the meanwhile, setup a BQM.  We might not need it, but as it takes time to collect data best to get it going now.

Thanks Andruser, 

Is this what you needed?

[Andruser · Accepted solution]

You've got a problem that is most likely upstream noise, showing up as modulation dropping right back on upstream channel 4 (should be 4 x 64 QAM), and that's beggaring up the communication between hub and VM's network gear that is required to keep everything working.  Unless there's an area fault this will require a technician visit, but forum staff can advise accordingly.  I'll flag this for their attention, but may still take a day or so for a response.

Hi Ch41489, thanks for the message and sorry to hear that you are having issues with the broadband, I will send you a private message so that this can be looked at further for you. Chris
