Lag issues which have only recently started happening!

Hi, Over the last 1-2 weeks I have noticed I have started getting a lag on my hard wired connection on Xbox on the likes of Call of Duty and kids having issues on Fortnite. I have since ran a BQM for the last few days and noticed I am getting random spikes in latency which roughly matches the time we have issues while gaming and getting lag spikes.

I am not sure if its a network issue or what. I have checked the cable in my house which is only like 1m long as the entry point is right next to the router and the cable is tight. I have even changed ethernet cables just as a precaution but still no change.

Please see below my BQMs for the past few days and my router stats, hopefully its a simple fix (I have rebooted the router etc which hasn't helped. I even disconnected the VM cable and reconnected but nope.

I have also noticed in the Hub 5 log over the last day I have a few entries saying: DBC-REQ Mismatch Between Calculated Value for P1.6hi Compared to CCAP Provided Value

Hub 5 with 1gig connection.

Just to add, I have also checked the service status phone number and online and no faults for broadband have been raised in my area.

I just find it strange that this has only happened within the last 1-2 weeks which is making me think something has been done in the area.

Went on the Virgin Media website last night to check again the service status and to check for any faults on my line. It prompted I had to factory reset my hub for some reason which I have done. After the reset the connection was even worse and to the point I just stopped playing online games as no matter what game I played I was getting spikes of lag. Looking at the graph it also shows spikes which I am guessing is what I was experiecing. Can someone from Virgin please take a look at my connection and my area as this has only started happening within the last 1-2 weeks! - Connection was perfect before then and nothing in my home has changed. Always have been hardwired.

Disapointed someone from Virgin has still not messaged regarding this issue I am having. Its clear as day its mostly happening at peak times which is making me think its a Utilisation issue as its mostly always happening during peak times. See below my latest BQM results and also my latest router logs and power levels.

Apart from the gap at 2am which was probably network switching, your BQM isn't bad. Those spikes probably coincide with something else on your own network. Do a couple of speedtests and you'll see spikes like those.

The BQM is bad enough to affect my gaming online which I said previously has started with these lag spikes within the last 1-2 weeks. Peak times has become a joke and occassional rubber banding on games. Spikes are showing on the BQM when no one is using the broadband ... especially very late at night and early morning it spikes but everyone is asleep. Something has happened within the last 1-2 weeks in my area which is effecting my network now. No changes have been made in my house

I don't doubt that you are having gaming problems with lagging. I'm only saying that your BQM is not a particularly bad one, and better than many.

You think how many packets of coordinated player positioning and firing of a gun happens in just one second that you go from 20mins-40 max ms to 100ms delay and normally more its a problem its the consistency of the connection that the server must depend on some jitter OK the odd spike thats not by much OK but when you push beyond that its a mess.

Like I know I'm doing everything possible to not cause a ping spike by doing BWM or QoS and being on the low speed to not be hit routers upstream from impacting the flow to me or from me but even now I spike high in BQM at times.
