I have just checked and my internet connection speed is only 4.4Mbps Download and 2.0Mbps upload.

Can you please help.

Forgot to mention, I have just rebooted my router (leaving off for 10 mins), but it still has the same very low speed.

Thank you very much for letting me know. Just to confirm do you have any active monitoring for life threatening health reasons which is solely dependant upon your TalkTalk Broadband or Telephone line?

For example a care alarm, lifeline, health pendant or fall detector.

No I don't.

I have just checked the speed again, now it's back up to 40Mbss download and 10Mbps Upload - so back to normal.

Thanks

I need to establish if the problem is a general WiFi or Broadband issue, or if it's potentially a coverage issue. If the problem only occurs in places that may be further from the router, or are blocked by walls, doors or windows, then it's likely the issue is related to the WiFi signal not being strong enough where you experience the problem.

Issue occurs everywhere

Issue only occurs in one or some locations

Issue is not with WiF

iIssue is with a single device

It is only with the broadband. The wifi is fine.

I can connect to the router admin fine, which showed me it was only just over 4Mbps download speed.

I just logged into the route again and it has gone back to 40 Mbps.

Do you know why this is happening?

Thanks

Hi,

I have just logged in to my router again to see the connection speed is very low again: 4.9Mbps download, 2.1 Mbps upload.

Why is this happening regularly now?

Can you please look into it. Can you change the settings on the router, as when you have checked this out for me in the last week - you connect to it, then the speed goes back up again.

Thank you.
