Severe Packet Loss - just started 2 days ago

Mooogie
Tuning in

Happy New Year all,

My connection has started suffering from severe packet loss and continual drop-outs. I've captured a BQM over last day. Not good. See trace here:

VM Supehub log also reporting numerous 84020200 Lost MDD Timouts. U/S and D/S signal levels all look within spec.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

The BQM looks like an amplifier fault (other causes also possible), and if that's the case chances are that VM are probably already aware and working on it.  You can try phoning in and seeing if there's a known fault, or check using the patchy on-line service status checks.  If you phone in and there's not a known fault you can report it (but only after you get past the diabolical chatbots and crummy phone system menus).  If you can, try phoning now as the phone lines should be least busy. 

situation deteriorating...

phoning for help has been non productive, difficult to get a real person. Hoping VM customer service sees this post and can file a support ticket

Try checking with Area faults on 0800 561 0061 or if you have a VM landline 150 as some small area faults are not listed on the VM status pages.

If you wait here a day or two a VM Mod will pick this up.

Hello @Mooogie,

Welcome back, thanks for posting.

I am sorry that your service is being affected.

I located your account using your forums details, I can not see an outage in your area. I can see you have a work order open on the account, can you let me know how this goes?

Many thanks,

Hayley

Hi @Hayley_S

Problem now resolved. Engineer installed new router. Suspected my old SuperHub 2 had a fault or not up to the job since network updates were made and speed increases.

Trace is now clear of packet loss and drop outs.

Hi Mooogie,

Thanks for replying and welcome back to the community.

I can see on Sunday you experienced quite a bad service.

However since there's been no report of packet loss on SamKnows, with today's readings currently being in spec.

Has the service improved since you posted this?

Let us know.

Thanks,

Kain
