Would love the expert's take on this please.
Sometime this morning I lost connectivity to the net and the 'online' light on the V+ box was flashing. I thought that looks like an outage, but called VM after it didn't right itself. Went though some tests with the call centre and the outcome was my superhub is fried and needs a tech visit. Since then, I've resumed connectivity - albeit somewhat erratic (where it is always, always stable) - and the online light on the V+ box is solid again.
What's bugging me is the solid>flashing>solid>flashing of the top blue light which I promise has _always_ been just solid before this outage. I read it signifies a gigabit connection, that it signifies DOCSIS3 over 2, that flashing signifies traffic etc so who knows why it's been solid for weeks and now isn't.
I'm hard-wired into the hub from the PC and the port LED on the back is usually green. Now, it's out, not even orange, and I still have an outside connection.
I've an engineer booked for tomorrow as the call centre say it's not responding and showing as offline.
Superhub borked or does it stink of network issues?
