Lose connection every night

TimGa — Thu, 08 Feb 2024 02:08:36 GMT

I lose conection for between 30-90 seconds every single night, usually at some point between 0045 and 0245. It drops, reconnects, and I'm back on. More an irritation than anything as I'm a night owl, but it happened with my old Sky router and it's happened with the replacement one since I got sent a new one a couple of months back as well. Q box is not in eco mode,

@TimGa I suspect the most likely cause as you have a VDSL service is a DLM reset. The cabinet is continously running the DLM system which will reset the connection around 2am if the line parameters have varied in the previous 24 hour period. Although this shouldn't happen every night it can happen for days at a time especially after periods of bad weather.

Ah, I see, thanks for explaining. Well, it literally happens every single night, and has for as long as I can remember, so looks like I'm just stuck with it!
