Vivid 200 giving less than 10Mbs
 
VM sent me a letter, advising that BB would be unavailable while essential maintenance work was being done in my area (05).
Since, the work was completed, I have been getting less than 10Mbs (wireless) from Vivid 200 - previously it was consistently between 150-180Mbs.
I have called VM, they did a few tests, and said that everything was working okay!!! Is anyone else having the same problem, particularly in area 05?

What speed are you getting on a wired connection?

I do not use wired connections - why do you ask?
The issue, is the drop from 150-180, down to less than 10.

Because many things can affect a wifi connection, so the best way to check if you are in fact getting the speed you pay for to your home is to use a wired connection.

Yes, I get that.
However, I am asking, if the problem is common in my area, after the upgrade, or solely with me.
If I can isolate the problem to only me, then I will take the time to look at my setup.
Otherwise, I will conclude that it is an issue with VM.

The only way you will know is by hardwiring in and checking

Have you rebooted the hub since the outage?

Reboot your hub

Test the speed with an ethernet cable

If that is fine change your wifi channel and try again

Evening All, Thanks for all the pointers/advice. Since speaking with VM, and after them doing their 'tests', my wireless service is now back to 140Mbs and above.

Glad to hear it is sorted.
