Volt 500 only getting ~300Mbps

CaptainMustard
Tuning in

Hi,

Any suggestions what might be limiting the speed?

Done various speed tests and only get just above 300 never near 500.

Tried the obvious wired/wireless, rebooted hub 3 (more than once)

Looks like you have some noise on the line as your upstream channels are out of spec on QAM (Should be 64)

Thanks Carl. I've been checking it through the day and it has been a little faster at times but the QAM seems to vary between 32 to 64.

 

If the modulation at 32 not 64 QAM does indicate an issue, it's still there. Download stuck at between 120 and 250 Mbps.

Hi @CaptainMustard,

Thank you for your posts and welcome to our community forums. We're here to help.

I'm really sorry to hear you're facing some connection speed issues lately. If they're ongoing for you today, can you confirm what model of router you have along with what diagnostics and troubleshooting you've performed thus far?

Thanks,

Hi Zach,

Thanks!

It's a Hub 3.

I've rebooted the hub several times and done a couple of factory resets with no significant change.

I've been doing speed tests via the router both wired and wireless. The wired tests are using a couple of different laptops and different cables all with at least cat 6 and gigabit nics. The wireless tests via a Galaxy S10 are often slightly better but the wired connections never get much above 300Mbps.

I've rechecked the cables and everything seems ok except for a kink in the cable right next to the white box (the one that terminates the cable as it enters the house). This is on the start of cable that goes from the white box to the splitter and on to the hub. It's been like that since install - they didn't leave enough space next to the unused BT box really. Don't know if this is a factor. 

I've set up a BB monitor below.

Recent hub stats below, there seems quite a few Downstream Post RS errors!

You should have zero PostRS errors.  This needs fixed by a VM technician.  You can check for loose connections in the meantime, as these can cause noise ingress on the line.
