Have you tried connecting at the test socket? Have you noticed any noise on the phoneline? Subject to that, this has been flagged to the support team here and they will respond as soon as they can.

dont think its me, maybe when the power went out several times weekend it maybe made the exchange thing something wrong with the connection and dropped the speed , but advanced line test on talktalks website did say issues found but didnt say what ?

OK, just suggested checks as I said, otherwise the support team will hopefully pick this up tomorrow.

Morning,

I'm sorry to hear this. I've run a test on the line now, one test is clear, however the other test is inconclusive, however the connection does look unstable. Does your main socket have a test socket please?

Thanks

i did change the cable between the socket /filter to the router for a spare and the line speed says its now back at where it used to be so maybe it was a faulty cable? who knows but seems fine now thanks , keep an eye on it as the week goes by

Hi sirsimonuk

I've completed a line test and this is clear - No faults detected.

I can see a number of re connections on the line. Is the connection still dropping or has the router been rebooted?

Current Connection time

Morning,

Thanks for confirming. Does your main socket have a test socket please?

Thanks

sirsimonuk — Mon, 24 Jul 2023 06:54:46 GMT

i believe so under it , it does

seems stable at the moment maybe was the exchange offering me the best speed for my line

Hello,

Ok thanks. If it does become unstable again then would it be possible to connect the microfilter, router and phone at the test socket for at least 48hrs to see how this compares please?

Thanks

ill keep my eye on it but think its been sorted now

while your here any idea why the upload is locked at 16.6 , if thats all the line can do then no problems curious as it used to be higher

Hi,

If the connection has been unstable then DLM will lower the speed to try and stabilise the connection. If the connection remains stable then DLM should hopefully increase the speed again. It may also be worth trying the test socket to see if there is any change in speed in this set up.

Thanks

Aha, that is a good clue. I take it you have the Huawei Hub black? In which case the support team should be able to push an update to the firmware which will resolve that, wait for them to respond again tomorrow.

Hi sirsimonuk

I've made a change to your router firmware, this should fix the issue you are experiencing.

Thanks
