Drop outs and slow speed

Vader2004 — Mon, 06 May 2024 10:51:51 GMT

We've got fibre broadband and lately we've been getting drops in the connection, it's been happening for a while now, there was works going on putting in new cables around the corner from us, but that is now complete, when line tests are run it's showing no errors, but the line speed has dropped below 110mb gets as low as 24mb, could some look at it for us?

I've rebooted the router and modem, replaced all cables, no phone is plugged into the sockets and no other sockets are in the house just the main one, I've got a spare modem and have swapped over to it yesterday, speed is higher but varying?

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave

Thank you 🙂

The line test is clear but I can see a high number of re connections on the line.

Has the connection dropped since the other router was connected?

Hi Debbie

On Sunday morning it had dropped out, I did all the changing of the cables and swapped over the fiber modem, we have been away for the most of the time on Sunday afternoon and Monday, I don't think we've had any drops since then unless you can see any for yesterday, hope it will settle as the work the was being done around the corner from us has been completed, maybe if you can see what's affecting the speed as it seems to go up and down, it was stable for a long time before.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Dave

Thanks for your reply.

As the connection has been dropping this will affect the speed. DLM will reduce the speed to try and stabilise the connection.

Please can you keep the router powered up (without rebooting) and I will check the connection stats again tomorrow afternoon to see if the connection is remaining stable.

Once the connection is stable then DLM should start to change the profile again to increase the speed back to what you were previously receiving.

Thanks again

Debbie

Hi Debbie

Sorry for the late reply, no problem I never usually turn off the router off, I'll make sure noone else turns it off

Thanks

Hi Dave

Is the connection still dropping?

I can see that the sync speed has dropped slightly lower since yesterday.

Hi Debbie

Sorry, for the slow reply

I believe it has been stable, the speed is a little slower, I might just try the original fiber modem on again and we can check if it makes any difference I'm a couple o days time.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Debbie

I've just finished swapping back over to the other fiber modem, the speed is a little quicker, also tested a few cables from the main box to the modem, I think I've got the best setup not, we can see the speed syncs up now

Thanks

Dave

Morning Dave

Thanks for letting me know 🙂

I've checked your connection stats this morning the connection does appear to be more stable and sync speed has started to increase.

Hi Debbie

The line seems to be stable so far, the speed is slightly better but is still under 100mb, hopefully it will increase a bit more over this week.

Thanks

Dave

Morning Dave

The sync speed is showing at just under 99mb.

I will check this again on Friday.

Debbie-TalkTalk — Fri, 17 May 2024 06:21:02 GMT

Morning Dave

I've checked and I can see that the sync speed hasn't increased.

Would you like me to arrange an Openreach engineer visit to investigate further?

Hi Debbie

Sorry for the slow reply, I've been away for work, I've tested it a couple of times at it seems to be running around 112mbs at the moment, maybe we can leave it for a bit and see how stable it stays

Thanks for your help

Dave

Yes of course. Please let me know if the speed or connection does drop again.
