Full fibre - download speed now saying 5 months!

Bruno2006 — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 19:21:08 GMT

The Wi-Fi connection is barely making it to 1mb when downloading even though the plan states that there is supposed to be around 152mb instead, the previous plan was able to reach 4mb even though the Wi-Fi plan was worse

The main issue is that download speeds are significantly lower than advertised and we would like to know if there are any ways to solve the issue or if there is anything stopping the Wi-Fi from reaching the speeds it is supposed to reach

Hi @Bruno2006

I assume you mean a download speed of 5Mbps & not 5 months, a typo I am sure! Are you on full fibre 150 package then or G.Fast? Which make/model of router do you have?

Morning,

Can I just confirm, do you have an ONT installed for FTTP?

Thanks

Hi Michelle,

yes City Fibre came on Friday to give me an upgrade and installed ONT box.

I work from home and thought this would be a great help

Hi,

Thanks for confirming. Are you using the eero or the wifi hub please? Is there any change if you power down the ONT and the router and then retest the speed again? Did the engineer test the speed when this was first installed and what speeds were you seeing then please?

Thanks

Michelle

Yes powered down and no change. City Fibre did not mention to me on Friday anything about a speed check

Hello again,

Thank you. I've deleted 2 of your photos from your last post as they contained personal info. I'm looking into this now and will post back here as soon as I receive an update.

Thanks

Thank you Michelle.
In addition, my mobile and laptop are barely getting two bars from where I work upstairs from router. On my previous package I had constant four or five bars

Hi,

The FTTP wasn't showing as fully completed on our side but it does now (we made a change from here). Could you try powering down the ONT and the router for a full 30 minutes again and then let us know if there is any change in speed please. If the speeds are still low then could you try connecting a device wired directly at the ONT with the router removed and run another speed test please.

Thanks

Michelle

Hi Michelle

i powered off router and ONT for 30 minutes as suggested and it hasn’t made any difference to upload speed.
in addition the Wi-Fi crashed whilst I was in a teams meeting this morning. I have purchased a TP link Wi-Fi extender this afternoon to allow me to get a better connection to allow me to work.
Iam very disappointed that Iam having to do this. I have been with Talk Talk for many years and have never had any connection issues. Recommended Talk Talk to everyone and I have even bragged to friends that I could get a signal in my garden!
since the city fibre update, this is now a frustrating and annoying problem.
I really hope you can resolve this

Hi Bruno2006,

Could you just check that the ethernet cable is seated correctly in the ONT as it appears to be at a slightly odd angle in the photo

Hi Chris

I have taken it out and put back in but it does look crooked.
I have now changed this to another Ethernet cable just inside this was the problem ( photo attached)

nor made any difference. I am currently sitting at two bars.

OK thanks. When you say you are currently sitting at 2 bars what do you mean exactly?

Chris

Hi Chris.
by two bars, I mean the signal (photo attached) . Before city fibre installation I was getting a constant 4/5 bars on laptop and mobile. Now it’s two bars .I work mostly from home and my daughter does a lot of gaming.
I have now connected an Ethernet cable to the Wi-Fi extender I got to her PC, this now gives a better connection.
I can’t believe I have had to do this when the whole point was to get an upgrade. Is there anything else you can do your side. Your help would be appreciated.
