Speed Issue

Geniejc — Wed, 23 Apr 2025 11:07:23 GMT

Download speed drops intermittently to 1mb. Ive attached a screenshot.

Im getting up to 40mb normally although your speed test says i should get 50mb minimum, but my contract says 40.

I have an open case but i think this is confusing the issue - every test is fine because the router gets rebooted.

If i reboot the router the speed returns to 40 until the next time.

Im guessing its a faulty router - it has been reset by you to factory settings - but same thing happened - can you help.

Hi Geniejc,

Line test is passing and current sync speed is 42Mbps, what are your speed test results like at the moment?

I'm getting similar.

But intermittently I'm getting only 1mb.

Every few hours. I sent a screenshot in my original message.

It resolved when I switch of the router and back on.

That why I'm thinking faulty router as everything else checks out.

Regards

As per last time I am at home.

You have also ran all the checks in the last few days.

I have again rebooted the router after it went down to 1mb again.

It's back up to 40mb for now.

It's either a hardware or software problem with the router. It can't be anything else.

@Geniejc, thank you for providing feedback to this as I will work on the issue on my end.

I understand that line checks were performed, but please keep in mind that they often yield different results each time they are done. In this case, since you've restarted your router, all the data stored on it has been cleared.

I m just waiting for any type of response from you apart from in this thread.

I'm happy to go through tests again I just want it resolved.

Thanks

Not at problem as I am more than happy to provide a suitable resolution with this matter. 🙂

So, tell me, apart from the slow performance, does your broadband connection drops while being connected to the internet?

Re: Speed Issue

Geniejc — Wed, 30 Apr 2025 13:32:57 GMT

Never drops just seems to get throttled, you notice it when tv buffers or intenet is slow.
