Help me fix my broadband

My broadband is rubbish. It downloads really fast but the connection is really poor for any normal usage. Streaming is patchy, music streaming stops frequently, internet radio cuts out every few minutes. I have a BQM running from thinkbroadband and it looks terrible. I used this when I had Sky Broadband and it looked much less noisy so its something to do with my line. I'm in a FTTP RFoG area. Its been on and off like this for a year.My BQM 

I have: 500Mb RFoG broadband, Virgin TV360, and voip telephone.

So I've switched my Hub into Router Mode from Modem Mode.

Updated BQM

was you doing a download or upload around 4pm?
---------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. Downloading.

Looks worse than normal though.

 

I put my Hub into Router mode earlier today and I put my Asus Router with a fixed IP into the DMZ so both BQM's look better.
