For the past two weeks I've been experiencing slow and intermittent broadband speeds which at this point is getting frustrating trying to work from home as I'm relying on mobile data now. Running a speedtest I'm getting 80mb download and 0.06mb upload speeds on my 200/20 package which is absolutely appaling.
Looking at the service status in my area there aren't any reported issues relating to broadband, but when I run a test it says "There's a network issue which maybe affecting your broadband service". It's been saying this for the last 2 weeks and is absurd at this point.

how are you testing the speeds - wired or wifi
log into hub3 - 192.168.0.1 [or 192.168.100.1 if in modem mode] - DON'T SIGN IN, click - click router status [centre of screen] - and post the downstream and upstream figures - to see those press on the grey buttons/boxes labelled - upstream - downstream
if its an earlier hub button is top right

Hi Tony, I've tested it both with wifi and ethernet.

ok - downstream levels are good but you have a good few pre and post rs errors - they could be historical - can you zero them - i was reminded the other day that can be done within the UI of the SH2 - cannot remember how - if you cannot see it just power off and then back on - leave the hub off a couple of minutes
now to the rubbish - the upstream is awful - many T3's on one channel and they are all all over the place - they should be 64qam - they are not - 1st thing is try a full reset - hold the button a good 30 sec and then some - see if they lock on to 64qam channels - be aware a reset wiill reset all settings of the hub back to default s any passwords etc that you have altered will have to be reset
once you have done al that see what it looks like and post back - if its still rubbish wait for VM to have a look

Thanks for getting back to me Tony, I've perfomed a full reset but to no avail. Still poor speeds.

I am sorry to hear that you have been having some issues there.
I have managed to locate your account and can see that there has been some prolonged performance issues, are you able to let me know if you are using any 3rd party equipment?
Kind regards,
