I have top Volt Bundle Gig package and I’m only getting a third to of the speed most days peaking to maybe half on a really good day! Speeds are below the minimum guaranteed so Virgin monitored for 1 month and then said it couldn’t be certified and I could leave my 18 month contract with no penalty.
I really don’t want to leave! I’d like an engineer to check the installation. Seems impossible to arrange having spent hours on the phone being moved from one call centre to another and finally ending up on the contractors call centre line!
Just need the installation checked, as when it was installed last November it was giving up to 1 gig no problem for a couple of months.

EDIT: Reading between the lines it could be congestion or the HUB stats being out of spec.
If you post the Downstream, Upstream, and NetworkLog tab data here we can review:

When you get chance could you post the HUB stats mentioned above?

HUB stats look ok, power levels are a touch low but in spec (-6 to +10 is in spec, 0dBmV being optimal).
A few T3 errors, but nothing to worry about.
The HUB 4 has a bug where the NetworkLog stops populating after a period of time (Mine does it as well!) so not much you can do about that.
Just out of interest if you speed test against two devices at exactly the same time do they still see around the same speed?

Testing 3 devices at same time in the same room produces this:
iPad Pro = Download 180 / Upload 37.5
iPhone 13 Pro = Download 259 / Upload 21.5
MacBook Pro = Download 149 / Upload 14.1
Ok, could you set up a BQM and post the live link?

Hi Carl,
I set the BQM up and shared the live link on Sunday. Not heard back from you?
