Slow broadband speeds

Veiled — Mon, 01 Jul 2024 13:57:29 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have been getting slow speeds for the past couple weeks. I am on 65Mbps contract but I have not been getting the guaranteed speeds. Sometimes when I do speedtest in the evenings I am getting 3Mbps and during the day its fixed at 25-30Mbps.

I did a reset and created a fault at account level, I would appreciate your guidance.

Regards,

I can see some Openreach engineer outside my house playing with the cables not sure if it is related to this issue though 🙂

Hi Veiled,

The line management system (DLM) has been moving you to slower line profiles, probably because of disconnections. Are you experiencing any problems with your telephone service, any noise on the line?

Hi Chris, I do not use a landline phone at all.

I have had many disconnections but was not aware of movement. Possible to move back or any other suggestions?

Morning,

Ok. Does your main socket have a test socket please?

Thanks

Afternoon Michelle,

Yes, I have a test socket, would you like me to plug into that and leave it for you to run some tests?

Good afternoon,

Thank you. I've re-run the line test now and it's clear. I'll re-check your connection stats again first thing in the morning to see how the stability compares now that the router is connected to the test socket. If the connection remains stable then DLM should hopefully start to increase the speeds again.

Thanks

Michelle

Morning,

I've re-checked and it looks like the connection has started to stabilise. Hopefully DLM will start to increase the speeds over the next few days.

Thanks Michelle.

I will keep an eye on this and see how it fares over the next couple of days.

I just did another speed test now but sadly the the results are unacceptable.

Please see below for your reference.

Morning,

I'm sorry to hear this. Can I just confirm, have you ever tested with a replacement router?

Thanks

Michelle

Morning Michelle,

Sadly, I do not have a replacement router to test at the moment. Do you reckon this could be the issue? Currently getting 3,5 mbps speed.

Morning,

Ok, would you like us to send a replacement router to rule this out and see how the connection/speed compares?

Thanks

Michelle

I just tested again now and the speed fluctuates.

The maximum is set as 30mbps I guess with DLM speed increase not applied yet.

I can have a look with replacement router and see if I get the guaranteed speeds as 65Mbps contract states.

Hi @Veiled

The replacement router is on its way, please allow 24-48hrs for this to arrive.

Let us know how the connection compares with this router.

Thanks

Debbie

@Veiled, the contract carries a minimum guaranteed speed, which you may be able to check in your contract emails or in My Connection. Fibre65 is the package name.

Veiled — Thu, 04 Jul 2024 12:59:44 GMT

Thanks for the info Gliwmaeden2.

I guess the issue is as stated I am not getting the guaranteed speeds as stated under my contract.

I will give this another go when the replacement router arrives. Hopefully the DLM can increase the speeds by then.
