Quite possibly. We've seen people on QAM64 as well. If 2x QAM16 is enough for my area (and I don't seem to suffer congestion), then 4x QAM64 should be good for 10:1 at the very least, I think.

Just for completeness, here's the stats:

As you can see, everything except that particular upstream seems to check out.

I'm hoping that another reboot will get it back on, but if not then hopefully even on a single upstream I should still have a usable connection. The wife has a raid tonight, so that'll be a good test!

If you have a VPN can't you just connect to the SH over that and perform a S/W reboot?

How would I reboot it? I don't think there's an option on the web interface?

The old activation portal would force a reboot.

And the SH2 does have a reboot option in the menu, but only in router mode. But it's likely you can still trigger it by navigating to the page while in modem mode if you had the link handy.

How to reboot your modem remotely.

Go to - https://my.virginmedia.com/faults/service-status - Scroll down to the pc icon - click on Lost internet connection - and run the test and it will restart your equipment

I did actually try that, but it just said nothing obvious was wrong :\

I'm sure some enterprising young hacker could devise some sort of antichrist of a magic packet that'll crash and reboot the Superdud when sent to it over the tinternets.

Like some kind of backwards WOL?

Kushan · 21-05-2014, 09:04

If such a thing were doable, we all really would be SOL.

Indeed, LOL.

I'm clearly missing something obvious because if you're not in RouterMode and have not enabled Remote Access then you could try using the BroadBand Diagnostic option via MyVirginMedia (Service Status sub menu's)? That can occasionally offer a remote reboot if you're Hub hasn't been rebooted for a couple of days?

Yes I think the obvious thing you're missing is this:

Not sure if this is the link you guys re on about, but I find the one below tends to work for me if I can't login to the router etc

https://activation.virginmedia.com/Activation/

That is indeed an interesting alternative as the BB Diagnostic appears to use a different threshold to determine if the SH needs rebooting. Previously I assumed that forcing an activation "hit/reboot" would be identical to BB Diagnostic approach but when I tested "Activation" it not only rebooted my SH2 immediately (after it was manually rebooted 6hrs previously) but it also threw two errors (effectively saying it hadn't rebooted properly "error 96") despite having full connectivity after the attempt! Perhaps one might need to even try both methods?
