NBN HFC frequent dropouts

My NBN drops out most days, sometimes 3 or more times a day.  

 

Is this considered normal?  It can take up to 10 minutes to come back, and often it's easier and quicker to hotspot with my phone.

Hi @gt6mk3, thanks for providing the details via PM.

 

We have checked the status of your connection and it looks stable for more than a day now.

 

We'll monitor this and if the issue persists, we'll investigate further.

 

Please also check what light on the NBN Arris box and TPG modem normally goes off whenever the connection drops.

 

Thank you.

Dropped out acain twice in the last 10 minutes.  It's modem or the attenuation/signal strength, the router is fine.
