Connection dropouts, slow speeds and packet loss.

Our connection has been showing issues for a couple of weeks now after being borderline perfect for years.

I have tried both tests on the virginmedia site with essentially the same result...

Resetting the router will return things to normal for a time, but this keeps happening.

This is todays TBB quality graph.TBB Quality GraphTBB Quality Graph

As you can see this isn't good. Can anyone suggest anything?

Upstream channels are dropping out.  I've flagged for staff to comment, but when was the hub last rebooted?  I suspect given the appalling connection visible in the BQM that you're rebooting fairly frequently, in which case you'll need a technician visit.

Hi Fivethumbs,

 

Thanks for posting and sorry to hear you're having some issues with the connection. 

 

I've been able to locate your account using your forum details and can see that an engineer is needed.

 

I just need to confirm a few details with your first, I've send you over a private message for this (purple envelope, top right hand corner)

Well, after an engineer coming out and replacing the Superhub 2 with a Hub 3.0 things are a little better most of the time. However the router is still dropping to one upstream channel and we are still getting connection dropouts with the log showing T3 timeouts. 

This is todays graph...

Interestingly the catch-up on our TV box went off at the same time and I don't know if that is because the broadband connection went or if it was a separate connection loss to the TV box. Does the TV box use the ethernet connection for catch-up? 

We have also been getting corruption on live TV channels which is shown below

 

I have no idea if this is coincidence, but it does make me suspect there may be an issue at the street cabinet.

 

Can anyone suggest anything?

Thanks!

 

 

Post up the stats for the Hub 3 (as text) 

I'd concur that there is a problem between cab and property if the hub has been replaced! (I imagine that the engineer checked the internal coax)

Sorry for not replying! The connection improved for a bit and I forgotten I had posted. Things have gone downhill again recently so here are the Hub3 stats

Hi @Fivethumbs,

 

Sorry to hear you are still having ongoing issues with your connection.

 

I need to run through some diagnostics but I can currently see you are currently in Modem mode. Please put the hub in router mode so we can look into this further. 

 

Cheers
