I have been having badly fluctuating UL speeds for the past week. My neighbour has been doing major house alterations for the past month, including plastering the living room. If he has moved his cable socket himself and buggered it up (for want of a better phrase), could this be the cause of my (and other ppl in the street who also have poor upload speeds) problems ?
What are the chances its something to do with the green box components ? (the upload speed goes from normal down to 6kbps or less constantly, then back up).
I have called tech support 9 times, had an engineer out to fit a new modem, and am at my wits end because the problem is still the same. My UL speeds can be fine one min, then just as if a switch has been flicked on, they die to nothing (DL speeds remain fine though !).
I am on VM cable 'L' package only, new modem is ambit 256.
