  • UPC Gigabox - Connection Speed Dropping each day 800->10Mbps

UPC
Giga Connect Box

I am having problems with my internet connection from the UPC Gigabox.
Does anyone have any information on how to diagnose a problem with the Gigabox/cable connection ?

For the last week, many of my devices are having problems connecting to the internet or showing interrupted connections. (e.g Xbox console & streaming video from the TV, high mobile usage from my phone).
The Xbox is a wired connection & reported that my internet speed was not good enough for Cloud Gaming & that I had 10% packet loss during a network test.
I did I speed test & my download speed was 10-12Mpbs (upload 98Mpbs OK) - I am on the 1Gb package.

I did a power-cycle of the Gigabox & everything was fine again, speed test showed 800Mbps. (Xbox was fine, Netflix was fine, household was happy).
However, after less than a day & it was the same problem again & it is the same each day since last weekend.
I am able to restore the download speed by soft-rebooting from the Gigabox interface or by power-cycling the router.

There are no reported internet problems in my area & the network diagnostic from the Gigabox interface says everything is OK (except Wifi is disabled as I use another Wifi router).

When I perform the speed test, I am connected via ethernet (through a switch) directly to the Gigabox (and network traffic within my network is still fast (e.g. streaming from a NAS box).

Therefore, I am leaning towards either a problem with the Gigabox or the cable network/connection itself?
However, I dont really know how to interpret the cable connection data & logs from the Gigabox.

Is there something that UPC/Sunrise could see from their end?

Thanks in advance for any guidance,

Gabbo

    A technician visited yesterday & rewired the wall socket which the internet is connected to.

    So far all seems good & I had a stable connection yesterday ~750mbps at peak times which is what I would expect.

    Thanks again for your support Daniele.!

    Gabbo The line values are not optimal. We have created a technician order regarding this. You will be contacted for an appointment within 24 hours. Please get back to us with feedback after the technician visit.

    Also, since you have more than 60 devices connected, we recommend that you spread the LAN load a bit and not put all the load on LAN 1.

    Greetings

      Daniele_Sunrise Thanks as usual Daniele for your excellent customer service.
      I have been contacted twice but was unable to take the call. I will contact them tomorrow morning to make an appointment.

      Do you see the same “line values” for the Horizon TV box (here I have had no issues but perhaps the TV box doesn’t need such a high download speed)?

      The reason I ask is because I unplugged & replugged the Coax connection at both sides of the router after posting my message (in case they had been disturbed) & my connection has been OK the last couple of days.

      My Horizon box is connected to another point at the other side of the house.
