Hi,
Can I get an opinion on my speeds and router status? For reference my broadband package is: M500 Fibre Broadband.
This was fine until O2 moved me into Volt, I'm now below 300mbps previously on 300Mbps I was getting 340-400Mbps down, O2 moved me to 500 and I now struggle to get 300.
My router gets about 40-70c operating temperature (the room is around 18-19c)
Speedtests:
In-game latency 40-120ms.
Is this all okay/good? VM was meant to do work outside due to a faulty cable about 2 years ago but never carried it out (did turn up in a van but didn't get out - rain put the engineer off? Who knows).

Give it a day to gather some data mate.

Something doesn't look right with the BQM mate. Looks to be a line problem.
Have you Checked service status and also called 0800 561 0061 for the most up to date faults information in your area?
In failing that you could ring Virgin on or just after 8am on 0345 454 1111 or 150 from a Virgin landline, alternatively you can wait here for a Virgin staff member to pick it up, but unfortunately this will typically be between 3-7 days, sometimes sooner, sometimes later depending on how busy they are. If you decide to call it in it will run through a few automated options and after that ring back again and it should recognise that you have rang previously and then put you in the queue for a Virgin representative.

Thanks for the reply @conman33158 - I've just spoke to them they're informing me there is connectivity issues with my line and will be sending me 1x Intelligent Pod? For a wired issue (confused). I can't even watch Twitch in 720p60 lol.
No faults on the service status page (other than a listed TV fault).

I would ring back mate, no amount of pods is going sort out that BQM.

.......although it might be best to hang around for a VM rep to come along and they can see the BQM for themselves 🙂

I've had 2 ASUS Routers and apart from installing Merlin firmware, I didn't change anything for the WAN connection.
