Internet suddenly terrible overnight.

Area 12, ethernet and WIFI affected. The Virgin site says there's no issues in the area. The internet went down for about 5 minutes at 1am on 30/07/2021 up until this point the internet was perfect for months. When the router came back on, the BQM now looks like this:

Is this a failed update or maintenance or something? I literally had no problems for months, the router goes down for 5 mins, comes back up and now its barely functioning.

Some thing is badly wrong with that connection. Are you in normal router mode - or in modem mode.

Can you post up the Hub data?

Also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 and see if anything is reporting there

I do not work for VM. My services: HD TV on VIP (+ Sky Sports & Movies & BT sport), x3 V6 boxes (1 wired, 2 on WiFi) Hub5 in modem mode with Apple Airport Extreme Router +2 Airport Express's & TP-Link Archer C64 WAP. On Volt 350Mbps, Talk Anytime Phone, x2 Mobile SIM only iPhones.

The number says "sorry you're still having intermittent issues" which I'm not sure if they're referring to this new issue or the intermittent issues I contacted them about months ago.

I've replied to myself with the router info

 

EDIT: The service status test now states there is a network error affecting multiple customers in my area so I guess its just a waiting game for now.

Similar issue here though my issue was noticeable from early yesterday. GL4 Area. No issues listed in my area until I ran a test on my Broadband and it simply states "

Here is my Broadband monitor I have kept running since previous issues.
