Recently upgraded from SuperFast to UltraFast+ and now seeing pixelation when streaming

Never had pixelation with SuperFast.

The pixelation takes up roughly half the screen & lasts for microsecs & happens every 2/3mins.

Here's my stats:

@TapeHeadthe router stats look stable. What platform is this happening on and does it happen on all devices using the same platform?

The only TV streaming via the Qrouter is a Samsung.

@TapeHead  I was wondering with you having ultrafast broadband and using a Sky Q hub. But seems that is cleared up with the question from @cookiemonsteruk

Just trying to figure what significance 173 collision packets would be if @TapeHead was streaming through sky q on that ethernet connection

@cookiemonsteruk  That does seem a lot for sure if that is all that is connected via ethernet.

The SkyQ2TB box is connected to the hub by wifi.

I re-booted the former yesterday - no improvement.  I'd previously reset (& then re-booted) the hub as soon as the pixelation started.

I'll put in a call to Sky.
