Sorry to learn your unwellness is not a blip. All the more reason to have decent internet.

Despite the likes of Hugh commenting on criticism of the superhuib as being the writer's own opinion (which I would have thought as being anyway in the realms of the bleedin' obvious), if you are in router mode, you can expect unexpected resets. In router mode it is a wretched device and VM have spent the best part of two years being unable to fix it.

So, modem mode is quite stable - my own experience and widely reported so. You put your own router on and no more reboots. That said, if you're already in modem mode, then it's even more wretched - it shouldn't reboot of its own accord nor set a condition requiring it to reboot.

But, a stable system won't cure your spikes and lags. We get that here on a very good service. Sometines the upstream slot just isn't available when you move or fire a shot or something and it lags. When that happens (to my son), I simply switch the circuit to BT Infinity which never lags (I'm blessed with both Infinity & VM 50).

I don't know where you'll go from here - but my advice in this case is sound.

Cheers
