Broadband Speed Dropped

Deborah235 — Wed, 09 Feb 2022 10:40:40 GMT

Hi,

In the past week we have noticed a significant drop in our download and upload speed ~20mb download and at least ~5mb on upload, from a previous post a few years ago I remember an assistant modifying either the (Downstream noise safety coefficient (dB) or Downstream line attenuation (dB)) I have recently been through a chat with a Talk Talk agent trying to diagnose the problem but there isn't anything that has changed on our equipment since installation, I have included router settings and a speed test as of just now, hope someone can help, thanks in advance.

Hi Deborah235

I'm really sorry to hear this.

The line test has detected a potential fault towards the property and Openreach are requesting that we arrange an engineer visit.

Is the router currently connected at the test socket?

Thanks

Debbie

Hi, thanks for the quick response, I have ran another speed test on the test socket and it gave us the same result as before.

Hi Deborah235

Is the router still at the test socket so I can run another line test in this set up?

Thanks

Yes it's being left on the test socket and yes that's fine

Hi Deborah235

Thank you. The line test is still detecting the same fault.

The next step will be an Openreach engineer visit.

Can I just check, what speed were you previously receiving before you experienced this fault?

Ok I see, previously the speed test would be around 55 - 60mb/s

Hi Deborah235

Ok, thanks for confirming this.

Would you like me to arrange the engineer visit? I will need to send you a Private Message to confirm some details.

Thanks
