Ultra slow broadband

Over the last few days broadband speed has steadily dropped with the most recent speed test this morning showing:

[My 'guaranteed' speed is 32 MB/s]

Speed to router: 7 MB/s

Download speed: 2 MB/s - then 1 MB/s

Upload speed: 5 MB/s

I have checked ALL connections from BT socket; filter; router; PC - all secure.

I have switched the router OFF and left it overnight; switched back on this morning and speed test is as above!

Yesterday I ran the same checks and received a text message to say that "it looks like it's working as it should be..." this is patently NOT the case.

I am unable to work in this situation.

Not aware if this might be a router problem though the 'Speed to router' would seem to indicate this is a line issue.

Your comments welcomed and a speedy resolution would be appreciated.

Further to my original complaint - during which I was assured that speed would improve in 2 - 3 days (!!!) things have not improved in fact today the situation is even worse...

I have a 'guaranteed' 32 MB/s internet speed since logging this complaint speeds have been checked several times each day with the following results - none of them anywhere near my 'guaranteed' 32 MB/s.

Date:     Download       Upload

7 Dec         3.1                    4.7

8 Dec        10.69                9.4

9 Dec        9.36                 7.98

10 Dec      7.39                 8.0

11 Dec       7.38                7.98

13 Dec      5.99                7.92

14 Dec     2.62                 7.88

I have been with Tiscali/TalkTalk since the early 90s and have always been satisfied with the service overall. However, this ongoing situation is totally unsatisfactory and looks like push is coming to shove...

Virgin Media laid fibre cables to my front door a couple of years ago to which I have not so far subscribed because my service from Tiscali/TalkTalk has always been so good. However, if this issue is not processed in a satifactory manner - soon - I may be forced (unwillingly) to review my oprions.

Hi

 

The fault look to have been cleared.

 

DLM has lowered during the fault, but should start to raise the profile over the next couple of days.

 

Thanks

A test this morning indicates an increase in download speed from <2 to 10.69 and upload from 5 to 9.40.

Better but not back to my 'guaranteed' 32 MB/s ~~~ yet...

The router is connected to the BT socket - first/main line-in.

Hi ganpixie

 

I'm sorry to hear this.

 

The line test is detecting a potential fault. Is the router currently connected at the test socket?

 

Thanks

 

Debbie
