I have a Hub4 in modem mode with an ASUS Gaming Router attached and have the 1GB broadband with 105Mbps upload.
My speed tests over the last 3 weeks have shown the download speeds to be below 500Mbps and now my upload speeds have dropped below 50Mbps. I have reset the hub a few times and used as a router to rule out the ASUS router but the download speeds don't improve and the upload speed goes back to 105Mbps but then falls back down below 50Mbps after a day or two.
I have called Virgin Media but I'm told the internet is working and the speeds aren't guaranteed even though I pay for 1GB connection. I don't feel I'm getting the right support for the issue I'm experiencing and believe it could be some connection issue from the outside box to my premises or the modem could be at fault.
Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.

connect just a PC to the hub in modem mode and reboot hub see what speeds you get

Upstream power levels are all too high and some of the downstream ones are a bit low. Check for local faults on 0800 561 0061 and ensure all cables and connections are tight and in good condition.

I have a laptop connected directly to the hub4 which is in modem mode, I'm unable to run a speed test because I have no internet whilst my laptop is connected this way.
on 21-06-2024 14:11
I have rebooted my Hub again and now the upload speed is back to normal (105Mbps), not sure how long it will stay like this. Unfortunately my download speed hasn't improved, it's still under 500Mbps.
It seems other users are having the same issue too, I'm not alone. What are Virgin Media doing about these erratic speeds!?
I may just as well downgrade to the M500 package as I not getting wait I paid for when I signed up to the Gig 1 package.

Hi @aduff62 thanks for posting and welcome back to our community.
Sorry to hear you've been having download/upload speed issues. And sorry for any inconvenience this may be causing. I would like to take a look on your behalf. I am going to send you a private message. Please keep an eye on your inbox in the top right of your screen.

I'm just waiting for a HUB5 to be delivered to replace my HUB4 and will hopefully solve the issue.
I'm a bit sceptical after seeing a couple of posts about the HUB5 one of which says they are constantly having drops on the connection and another their download speeds have been halved.
I'll report back next week once the HUB5 has been installed over this weekend.
on 04-07-2024 22:25
My HUB5 arrived on Friday 28th June and installed the following day with a breeze.
Download and Upload speeds back to normal in router mode and modem mode, no further issues.
Maybe my HUB4 was faulty?
@Lee_R - Thank you for sorting this for me...
