Constant disconnections - Gig1 Area 15

[Sickbird]

As per subject - over the past week I have been experiencing constant disconnections which last anywhere from between 1 min to 10 mins, every 10 mins or so.  It has made WFH impossible.

BQM below:

 Anyone else experiencing similar issues?

Have you checked first for “known network faults”

As well as trying the “check service,” Area status webpage" (link at top right of this forum), also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to postcode level.

Also, are the issues only evident on wifi connections or do you see them at the same times on devices connected on ethernet cables? If you don't know, can you check to help diagnose whether it is just a wifi issue or it could be network connection related?

If nothing shows - can you post up the Hubs data as per this...

On the first page up dont login [there should be no need to login if you have done so before unless you have the New Hub4 when you do] just click on the “router status” icon/text at bottom-middle or top/right of the Login page and then just copy/paste the normal “Formatted Text” (not images) 3 FULL sets of data onto here – 2 pages from the Downstream, 2 from the Upstream, & the Network Logs page. Don't worry too much about the formatting it can be easily read & DON’T include personal data or MAC addresses - blank them out - if you copy/paste the data, the board software will do this for you (you may need to click the "submit" button again. If character limits are “exceeded” - just do two posts

Looks identical to what happening here...

You are right the 2 BQM's are similar - and as you show its probably the hourly Samknows test.

But here the poster is also saying they get disconnections every 10 minutes (on wifi) - and these are not evident on the BQM hence my asking for more info 🙂

I do not think there are any entries in Networklog

The Downstream 3.1 channel power is too low and I suspect that needs fixed for a start.

I'm not sure the 3.1 channel has the same recommended min/max as 3.0

Anyone?

Hello @Sickbird.

Welcome back! Thanks for posting.

I am sorry for the issue with your broadband recently.

I can see there is an outage in your area causing this, we have an engineer on their way to resolve this 🙂 They will do everything to make sure it is fixed asap, the estimated time is showing for 15:00 Today but this is subject to change.

Many thanks,

[Sickbird]

Thanks Hayley.

Is there any reason why the online Virgin status/service check reports that there are no problems?

[John_GS]

Good afternoon Sickbird

Thanks for coming back to us. It was only an on the day maintenance at the cabinet so unsure why that didn't come up on the status page to be honest.

I've checked things today and no issues are showing, all levels are fine.

Has the service improved? 

Let me know if you need anything further

Best,
