PACKET LOSS/DROPS
I've been having issues where my connection experiences spikes and complete dropouts, 30 minutes apart. I have been running BQM since Friday 6/6/25, as you can see in the attached graph from 8th-9th, the space between drop outs are quite consistent. I have: - Fully reset to factory settings. - Disabled IP Flood Detection (suggested solution on another site) - Tested other devices (another PC, 4 Phones, Xbox Series X, 2 TVs) all experience the same connection issues. - Pinged various IP Addresses and all came back with no loss. I am connected via Ethernet to the 10gbps port, my PCs ethernet port is compatible with those speeds: https://www.speedtest.net/my-result/d/812c9d78-d2e7-4766-9f17-9cd7acd688b1 Other devices are Wifi (PC is Wifi 6, rest are 5ghz/2.4ghz) Package Info: 2gig up and down These are my router stats: PON modem status Online Connection mode IPOE IPv4 firewall Online IPv6 firewall Online IP_VOIP Down IP_DATA Up Transceiver temperature 29 Transceiver voltage 3 Laser bias current 12 ONT transmit power 5200 ONT receive power -16400 Network access Allowed Baseline Privacy disabled PON Mode XGS-PON 09-06-2025 11:12:46 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 11:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:31:20 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:31:14 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:30:37 notice GUI Login Status - Login Success from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:30:06 notice GUI Login Status - Login Fail from LAN interface 09-06-2025 10:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 10:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:36:50 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 09:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 09:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:37:10 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 08:37:00 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 08:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 08:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:36:49 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 07:36:39 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed 09-06-2025 07:26:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 07:11:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:56:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:41:29 notice erouter0 ipv6 address is empty 09-06-2025 06:36:59 notice IPoE IPv4 ping failed The network logs go much further, with regular error messages stating "IPoE IPv4 ping failed". This will be the 2nd router I am on, having the 1st replaced by an engineer for similar issues. Frankly, at £96 per month, I expect a far superior service. The speeds are good, sure, fantastic even. But it's no good having "lightning speeds" when you can't use them! If anyone else is experiencing this issue, or similar, please feel free to contribute your findings. VM, I eagerly await your advice/solutions as this is now affecting my employment. Regards.Recent packet loss and large ping spikes
Hi. I have recently (maybe in the past month or so, unsure when it specifically started) been experiencing random ping spikes and packet loss, making the internet unusable for several minutes, this includes web pages never loading and online games becoming unplayable due to the high ping and packet loss. This occurs seemingly at random, for about 2 minutes, and then returns to normal, until the next time it happens. I've been with virgin in my current property for over 2 years and have never had issues like this before, I'd maybe have ping spikes once every 4-5 months for a few seconds, and then return to normal but nothing like this. I am on a wired connection to my router, and as stated above, this has been basically flawless up until about a month ago. I've used thinkbroadband.com to get some graphs for my internet over the past week or so, and you can clearly see where the issues are occurring. I've attached graphs for these dates, in reverse order (not sure why they uploaded like this) Sunday 1st June (Now) -> Saturday 31st May -> etc. etc. -> Monday 26th May I hope someone can help. Cheers [MOD EDIT: Images removed]No internet and app gone haywire
Internet stopped working today and the Hub 5 is flashing red. My account on my app is also completely messed up. It cycles between saying all my bills are paid, to all of them are overdue (I have paid them all by direct debit), to all of them are paid but I have to pay £0 arrears. It currently says my service is restricted. The service checker checks completely different post codes to my property. Today, I've been told I live in the British Museum and Cardiff Castle. The robot voice when I call always asked me to confirm a random post code. I spoke to an agent today who's sending an engineer on Thursday but didn't address my apparently completely corrupted account. I'm especially concerned it's randomly saying I haven't paid bills I paid months ago. And yet another outage. Any help? Getting so tired of all the problems with my new ISP.
Another request for someone to make contact re: ordering WiFi Pods
Like many other people, I have run speed tests on VM Connect and have poor signal in some areas of the house. I have been unable to determine how to order wifi pods as I just go round in circles on MyVirginMedia. Would someone please be able to make contact to progress?Unable to successfully start the hub3
Ever since i moved from my old address into th new house, i haven't been able to get the internet up and running. All the lights on the hub look fine, but i just can't get it to activate through the app.i've sorted it all out my moving contract been reactivated, and all my billing addresses have been updated too.Apps on Phone and tablets not working
Hi everyone, newbie here. Hope you're all well. We had a WiFi outage few days ago. The status website states all is resolved now... The issue I'm having is that apps on my phone (most of them ) are not working. So like eBay, BBC, etoro Roblox etc cannot connect via the app. the apps work fine when I turn the WiFi off. The app website (like eBay or etoro BBC) work fine So not sure what the issue is. I spoke to their customer services and they had no idea what the issue was Any help appreciated.No internet. Hopeless customer service
Hello all. Hope can get some help. Been a week with no internet. Just stopped working one afternoon and all I’ve had since then is ‘will be fixed by this afternoon or tomorrow morning at this time’ etc etc. Have faulty code F011829538 but cannot see any info about it. Any idea how I can find out how long this is going to go on for?? Thank you in advance as it’s really frustrating at the moment!!!Virgin media boradband available next door but not connected to new property
Hi, I am planning to move to new house by mid march 2025. It's a new build house but there are no vergin media broadband cable connected to the property. I have enquired to near by houses even the next door has virgin media broadband which means virgin is servicing that area and the new property just need to be connected. With this regard I spoke to the developer/builder as well and they informed me that they have ducts and other things ready for virgin to provide connection inside the new house, so accordingly I called your move team but looks like they are telling that the area is not serviceable which is far from the reality. Being a customer of virgin media for last couple of years I could like to continue to have same service in the new property as well. Hence seeking out help here if anyone from virgin could help me here would be great
