Internet speed heavily fluctuating

Just switched over to Virgin, we get amazing speeds sitting up to 220mb/s but every 20/30minutes or so the speed either disconnects or drops to ~2mbs then sits at 20-30mb/s before jumping back up temporarily and repeat.

This happens across all my devices, my iMac is plugged in via Ethernet and my phone&ps4 experience the same issues across the Wifi Network

I've ran a BQS and these are the resultse2472a36a2de6eea191f0d9a3f510753c12f7328-26-01-2020 (1).png

 

Here's some speed tests I ran at 2am (not peak time) that show the issue

Thank you for your post Oosanders and sorry to hear you're experiencing some broadband issues.

 

Have you contacted our team in regards to this since your post? 

 

If you still require some assistance could you please confirm if your Hub is in modem mode? 

 

Let us know, Emily.

Hi Emily,

I haven't contacted anyone, I was going to await your recommendation on this forum before doing so.

Our hub is in Router mode as we use it on both Wifi + Ethernet

 

Thanks,

No problem, if this is the case I'd like to take a look into the account so I'll pop you over a private message.

 

Can you please respond to this by going to the purple envelope in the top right of your screen.

 

Thank you, Emily.

Upstream power is too high and Downstream channels are showing noise ingress, especially Channel 11.

You will need an engineer to sort this out. However in the meantime, check all connections are tight and there are no unterminated ends anywhere on the cables.

In this case there's a known area fault relating to SNR, the information on this was given over private message.

 

Thank you for your assistance though @Adduxi.

 

Thank you, Emily.

Hi Emily,

 

Maybe you can help me too.  I am experiencing a similar issue.  I had a 500MB service installed last Saturday.  It mostly runs around 60-90MB but can, as few times a day, jump to 500MB+ (and then go back down to 60-90MB a few mins later). Most of the time, the service is slow.

I have an engineer coming next week but is there anything I can do myself or that I can raise directly with the engineer when they turn up?

Thanks,

Keith
