Very slow download speeds on Gig1

Hiya; I've noticed that my download speeds lately have been nowhere near the Gig1 quoted achievable speeds. Testing earlier, I saw speeds such as this when tested via speedtest.net:

 

I'm using the Hub 4 in modem mode, using my own Asus router (running latest firmware). 
I've tried restarting the modem, factory resetting the modem, each with no success. 

Could someone point me in the direction of what extra deets I need to gather to request support on this, please 🙏

I've looked on the virgin media website and although referenced frequently, the Live Chat seems to be suspiciously absent 😡

Re: Very slow download speeds on Gig1

Hi HalpMeee,

Thank you for your post. I'm very sorry to hear about the speed issue you're having. 

To confirm, if you disconnect your 3rd party hub and run the test what speed are you getting?

Are these tests on a Wired or Wireless connection?

Re: Very slow download speeds on Gig1

Hi Martin,

The speeds direct from the modem with it set to router mode are similarly pants:


All of the connection speeds quoted will be via wired connections.

Re: Very slow download speeds on Gig1

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

Post the power levels, Pre and PostRS errors and network log from the Hub.  Once done we can comment.

Also with the Hub in Router mode what results do you get from www.samknows.com/realspeed

Re: Very slow download speeds on Gig1

"I'm using the Hub 4"

That is probably the issue
