Low upload G75 area

Hi,

 

Having trouble with low upload speeds. 

 

Downloads are over 200 meg but upload is only around 3 or 4.  It's usually around 20 meg. This is causing issues. 

Postcode is G75 8UT.  Service checker says no issues but it's been bad for 2 days now.  

 

I've done a few hard resets, checked cables etc, all the usual stuff. Tried wired and wireless. Using hub 3.  I've noticed a hub restart takes a lot longer these days and I just had an email a few days ago saying virgin have tweaked settings to make things better.  Seems to have made it worse as I had no problems before. 

 

Any advice on a fix VM?

Can you post your Hub status and logs?
Someone should be spot if there is a problem
Navigate to http://192.168.0.1 (or http://192.168.100.1 - if in modem mode)
Don't log in!
Click on 'router status'
Copy/paste the data from each of the tabs as text into a 'REPLY' as opposed to 'QUICK REPLY'. The forum software will remove the MAC addresses for you (you will likely need to click the 'post' button again).

Also, set up a 'Broadband Quality Monitor'. This will monitor the state of your connection and record any network dropouts etc - You can do this at ThinkBroadband (https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality)
Give it a while to gather data and then click 'Share Live graph' and paste the 'Direct Link' into the forum!

Hi, I’m experiencing a very similar issue (different area) poor upload speeds and have tried all the usual stuff. I also got an email from VM saying they are tweaking some settings to make things faster but seems to have had the opposite effect. 

following this post to see if and how it can be resolved. 

thanks

Service status on VM site now says theres an issue.

 

There's a network issue which maybe affecting your broadband service

What does this mean?

  • This issue is caused by interference on the cabling coming into your home.
  • This will cause intermittent speeds and performance may vary.

 

I've checked connections etc.  Do I need an engineer? 

They won't book a tech visit while there is active work going on to fix a fault! - Basically the fix that is being done will likely fix your issues.. But....

If they come and mess with your levels to improve things, the fix that is being done in the area could put them all out of whack again requiring another visit.

As it stands - VM could save themselves 2 tech visits by waiting for the area fix to be completed!

Makes sense!

Sure but it doesn't say theres a fix going on. I know it usually does. All it says is

  • This issue is caused by interference on the cabling coming into your home.
  • This will cause intermittent speeds and performance may vary.

 

It then just says check connections and wait 24 hours. Speed has been bad for days. Possibly longer as I only noticed it a few days back but my fiancee says she noticed it well before that. 

What does the 0800 561 0061 faults number say?
