Anyone on Gig1 Fibre still on DOCSIS 3.0 with a Hub 5?
Hey everyone, I’m on the Volt Gig1 Fibre package and using a Hub 5, which I thought would be running on DOCSIS 3.1 by default. But when I check my modem status, it looks like the downstream is still locked on SC-QAM, which I believe means it’s using DOCSIS 3.0 instead of 3.1. Just curious — is anyone else on Gig1 seeing the same thing? Or is your Hub 5 actually bonding to DOCSIS 3.1 (OFDM)? If you’ve managed to get 3.1 working properly, did you have to contact Virgin to push an update or reprovision your connection? Or did it just switch over automatically for you? Appreciate any insights. I’m just trying to make sure I’m getting the most out of the package and hardware. 😊 Thanks in advance!

Volt Benefits
In early April this year I renewed Virgin Media contract with a bundle that includes the 500Mbps broadband package. At the same time I agreed to swap my mobile phone to O2 and looked forward to benefiting from the broadband speed and data allowance increases that the Volt scheme offered. A couple of weeks later I noticed that my package on the Virgin Media website was showing as having been increased from M350 to M500. I have never been on this broadband speed and when I questioned it, the representative I was chatting with agreed that this was a mistake and said that they would submit the necessary form to get our broadband increased to the 1Gbps speed that I was expecting. I subsequently received an email confirming that this change would be made and which noted that this could take up 14 days to come into effect. That was 15 days ago, and still nothing has changed and I have heard nothing further. As for O2, the MyO2 webpage acknowledges that I am eligible for the Volt benefits but none of them have been applied to my account nearly a month after I moved over to them. I would be very grateful if someone could sort this out for me and if I'm not posting this in the right place then I would be equally grateful to be told the proper forum for posting this in order to get a resolution.

Pre & Post RS Errors - Is this Healthy?
Can anyone advise whether the below are good/bad/to be expected. I am on M350 (in Modem Mode) and over the past 6 months have noticed a decline from our usual 75Mbps D/L speeds to regularly only getting 25Mbps (I would LOVE to think we ever got close to the advertised speeds). I check using the Service Checker in case there are any known issues in our area. In the olden times (we had this installed in 2000 when it was ntl - I was working for them back then) I would just call up and request a Service Engineer to come check (and would be happy to pay) but now I can't seem to get anywhere other than in a perpetual loop of check it myself, reboot the router, check it again. If anyone can point me as to whether the below should be cause for both concern and insisting on a physical visit it would be much appreciated.
