Starting yesterday and getting noticeably worse this evening a problem loading web pages has developed.
I noticed it as web pages stalling on loading or a long delay before a page would start to load. On running some speed test
I get result like this -
BTW Performance Test. Download Speed 35.13 Mbps • Upload Speed 0.00 Mbps • Ping Latency 2216ms
Speedtest.net. Download Speed 35.63 Mbps • Upload Speed 0.24 Mbps • Ping 0.0
Speedtest.net. Latentcy Test Error
The download speed is normal, the upload speed is usually ~9.00 Mbps. I've tried rebooting the hub and my computer, that
didn't make any difference. I'm connected to the hub via Ethernet.
Fixed! Go to the fix.

UPDATE.
If I switch to wireless connection everything is working as normal. I've switched back and forth a couple of times and the problem does seem to occur only with the ethernet connection.

Try testing using a different Internet Browser.

Switching browsers doesn't seem to change the results. Things have improved this morning, the ping latentcy has come back down to ~10ms, so web pages are loading normally but the upload speed is still way down ~0.30Mbps instead of ~9.0Mbps. Could this be a fault in the ethernet cable?

Hi @Topsy
If this is only occurring via ethernet, I would definitely suggest trying another cable if possible - also try a different ethernet port on the back of the router and ensure that any drivers required for your network adaptors/ethernet cards on your devices are up to date.
Best wishes
Dave

Update.
I've tried a new ethernet cable and also switching the hub port I'm conecting to: It doesn't seemed to have made any difference to the performance I've been getting over the last couple of days.
There's some consistant anomalies between the Ethernet connection and WiFi.
On the BT Speed Test the upload speed is always 3 to 4 Mbps higher for WiFi, typically 8.5Mbps (WiFi) and 5.0Mbps (Ethernet).
The upload speed is the same for both WiFi and Ethernet ~ 34.5Mbps, although that speed is down ~1.25Mbps from what it was a couple of weeks back.
On the Thinkbroadband Trace Routhe test I typically get this for WiFi.
# Host Sent Recvd Best Avg Worst
1 thinkbroadband-gw2.core-rs2.thdo.ncuk.net 15 15 0ms 1ms 13ms
2 po4-31.bdr-rt3.thdo.ncuk.net 15 15 0ms 1ms 14ms
3 linx4.ukcore.bt.net 15 15 0ms 1ms 8ms
4 core2-hu-0-12-0-7.southbank.ukcore.bt.net 15 15 0ms 0ms 1ms
5 be11.psb-ir01.plusnet.bt.net 15 15 0ms 1ms 2ms
And typically just get this for Ethernet.
1 thinkbroadband-gw2.core-rs2.thdo.ncuk.net 1 1 0ms 0ms 0ms
One last thing I've noticed, on the hub Information for Helpdesk Agents page the entry for Noise Margin is now -
13.9/18.1, it use to be 21.9/18.1.
My internet has certainly improved from what it was at the begining of the week with web page stalling and failing to load. Something is obviously not right though when the Upload speed is 35% higher on WiFi than Ethernet.

Thanks for the update @Topsy
That is really odd if WiFi is working better than an ethernet connection as it's normally the other way around.
I've just tested your fibre service and line and things this side look OK with your router in sync at a downstream line speed of 40mbps and upstream line speed of 10mbps.
Your download speed of 34.5mbps over WiFi and Ethernet I'd say is about right for a sync speed of 40mbps. It's odd again that your upload speed on WiFi is much higher than on Ethernet though. Are you testing using the same computer?
Also the traceroute you've done also shows no issues with the latency. It may be worth carrying out a factory reset of the router by pushing a paperclip into the reset pinhole at the back for 20 seconds. Let us know how it goes.

Update.
Did a reset of the Hub and everything back to normal as per a week ago.
BT speedtest upload. Normal
Thinkbroadband Traceroute. Normal
Helpdesk Agent Information. Noise margin back to 21.8/18.1

Probably coincidentally, just before the problem started Virgin began installing cable in our street for FTTP and at the end of last week started cabling inside the flats for FTTP. Last month Hyperoptic also did cabling in our street though not our flats for FTTP. We must be living in a FTTP hotspot.

It's possible that the two things are connected, @Topsy, but it would be very difficult to pinpoint the connection retrospectively.
Let us know how the connection looks over the next few days - we're happy to help if anything goes awry.
Best wishes
Dave
