Sudden drop in speed

Message 25 of 25
Hi can anyone please help. A couple of days ago I wanted to download a game but I noticed my download spead was 2mb, thought that was abit weird and left it to run. Later that night I tried to play but noticed the game was slow and laggy and after a speed test through talktalk I am o oy get 17mb instead of anywhere between 55 and 65. So I got online the live chat and explained this to them and after 3 hours of online talk they have come to the conclusion that everything checks out on their and the phone line. They have done checks with me at home all of which I have complied to in a bid to solve this, I now get an email saying everything is fine but it isn't and now I'm left with really slow broadband. Can anybody help me fix this? Please
Vin

Hi I've heard nothing back, I filled the form in, it didn't give me an option to pick a date or time or anything.

Hi Vinay10
We can't make changes to the line profile/speed. This is managed by DLM.
Would you like us to arrange an Openreach engineer visit?
Thanks
Debbie

no it was connected yesterday, its been closer to 24hours. Can the line be resynced at the correct speed? I'm fairly confident its not a router issue. Last time a wire was loose on the pole next to my house and after the storms I suspect it is something similar.

Hi Vinay10
When did you connect the new router? Has it been connected for at least 48hrs?
Thanks

Hi Vinay10
The line is currently in sync at just under 15mb.
There are re connections on the line. Has the router been rebooted?

Ok thankyou for helping honestly nothing worst than the prospect of slow internet with Christmas round the corner, kids not being able to stream and game. Fingers crossed it's just the router. Thanks again so much. I'll post again when I find out.

Hi,
If it's not the router, then we will look at an engineer for you.
Thanks
Karl.

Hi thankyou for that. So if I get the new router and plug it in and it still only syncs at 17mb. What would happen next?

I guess so, it can only be one of two things. Either the line needs checked properly or a faulty router

Hi I tried last with an older router but needed a talktalk broadband username and password. I wanted to test to see if it was my router. Regardless though, I'm not not receiving the correct broadband speed for which I am paying for.

Hi Vinay10
There are a number of re connections showing.
Have you tested with a different router?

Hi yeah so the router has been factory reset and then the online help team left me with it connected to the test socket on the wall. My connection isn't dropping it's exactly what you've said synced at 17mb It should be above 60

Hi Vinay10
Thank you 🙂
I've completed a line test which hasn't detected any faults but I can see re connections on the line and this can affect the sync speed.
Your line is in sync at 17mb.
Is the connection dropping or has the router been rebooted? Is the router at the test socket?
Thanks
Debbie
