Hello I've signed up for Virgin in January and while for the first months everything was running fine and getting full speed since last 3 months I've started to observe many failures and problems, internet downtime, intermittent packet losses and similar.

The last instance of these problems happened yesterday at approximately 9pm, this is a BQM live graph:

I would like to understand what can be done to avoid these continuous interruptions/degradation of quality.

Get an engineer out to fix this.   Those BQM's are terrible but your power levels etc. look okay.  I'm guessing it's external to your property?

I live in a block of flats so I'm not even sure where the outside cabinet is. My flat was already pre-cabled when I moved in.
