For queries about your TalkTalk broadband service.

Hi,
Hope I’ve come through to the right place. I’m sure this is a peak time congestion issue. I have had many issues with the broadband over the years, been back and forth with talk talk chat support and by phone. I get no where, hoping someone here can help.
Over the last few months internet keeps dropping to a complete stop usually on weekday evenings but almost always on Sunday mornings and bank holidays. This Christmas Eve and Day and boxing day was awful connection. And again, New years eve and New Year’s Day internet was dropping again.

Hi Chris, thanks for your reply.
The device was connected by wifi at the time of the tests and I believe it was the only device connceted at the time - this dropping issue has happened many times when there's only one device connected.
Also, forgot to mention the phone line is fine at all times.

Hi Ant88ant,
When you ran the pings and traces was this on a device connected by Ethernet cable to your router? Was this device the only device connected to the internet at the time?
