Packet loss, very slow speeds and pain

Hi all,

I'm getting a problem where the internet starts running very slow and then eventually drops all together. I'm trying to diagnose what's going wrong, but I'm at a bit of a loss. When it is working, I'm getting about 10% packet loss on a ping to google, in usual surfing, it's a painfully slow experience!

The Virgin Superhub is running in Modem Mode. Attempting to reach it at 192.168.100.1 99% of the time results in:

The server at 192.168.100.1 is taking too long to respond.

The other 1% of the time when I'm really lucky, after a long wait, I get a page load. I used these page loads to try to get to the log - which seemed to be suspiciously empty other than these items :

Network Log First Time Last Time Priority Error Number Description
20/11/2012 21:06:27 20/11/2012 21:06:27 Warning (5) 84020300 MDD message timeout;CM-MAC=;CMTS-MAC=00:30:b8:d7:9d:20;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0;

Eventually, the internet comes back after a long wait, buy doesn't stick around for longr

At the moment on doing a speed test, I'm getting

Ping: 10ms
Download Speed: 23mbps
Upload Speed: 10.82mbps

But when it starts getting bad, I can't even get the speed test past the ping!

This should be on the 50mbps plan I believe

Any ideas? I'd really appreciate any thoughts or suggestions :-)

Thanks!
