Recently Virgin performed "upgrade work" in our area and for a short period we lost service as expected. Since then, whenever we have done zoom or teams video calls the audio keeps cutting out. They cannot hear us and we cannot hear them. This happens on and off every 2 or 3 minutes.
Never had this problem before even throughout lockdown.
Just got the system to do a test and it said we had an intermittent signal but did not explain further other than get me to do usual power cycle and test all connections.
Do i ring 150 and report an issue or is there something more i can do before getting all upset on the phone.
Maybe related or maybe not but Tivo boxes (they are 360 major and minor) have begun reporting buffering during playback of recorded programmes (they are connected by cable not wireless) and recordings seem to suffer dropout or short freeze and jump on playback.
I have a latest generation hub and the major Tivo 360 was swapped out about 3 months ago.
Oh and the remote seems to jump two three or more steps when using the up down keys to navigate lists.

Thanks for posting. My apologies for the delayed reply and the broadband issues. I've checked the system today and there are downstream issues. This needs a tech visit to the property to solve. I'll send you a PM now to get some details.

Hi John
Checked the roadside cabinet up the road this morning and the front panel was still missing showing patching links to the elements.
Will the engineer on Friday know the results of your test and hence why you have arranged the visit?
If not, could you give a hint as to what the test suggested as to why an engineer visit was necessary so I can advise him?
Thanks

Hi
All went well. He replaced connectors on outside box on house as they had not been touched in many many years. He then tested from the box across the road. Then fitted attenuators to the two Tivo360 boxes and the hub and retested. When he got green on all his testing he was happy and left.
Will not know if it has fixed the Teams call dropouts until next week.
Regards
