speed problem

[Lesman]

Hello.

I have a contract for a Fiber35 package. The download speed is about 27 Mbps and the upload speed is about 6 Mbps. On February 23, the speed suddenly dropped to about 13 Mbps to the router and 11 Mbps to the PC. A line check showed a problem. On March 2, an engineer arrived. After his visit, the speeds did not change much and the line test continued to show the problem. After about three weeks, the line test shows that everything is fine, but the speeds to the router are 18 Mbps and to the computer 15 to 16 Mbps. This situation continues to this day. I don't understand why the speeds can't go back to normal as they were according to the subscription, and it's been over a month! My neighbor has Internet on the same network and still has normal speeds and we are connected the same way!! I do not understand! I'm still using the original router and cables I received when I first connected, and why is the speed difference 2 to 3 Mbps? Please explain this problem to me and help me get back to normal.

Hi Les,

Apologies, I've just chatted with Openreach and they have advised that as this is a complex fault they are still working on the plan and materials to resolve this. They have asked me to check back tomorrow so I will check again tomorrow afternoon.

Thanks

Morning Les,

Our fault tracker advises that there should be an update due today so if I don't hear anymore then I will live chat Openreach again for more information for you. Have any contractors been working in your area yet to complete the dig work?

Thanks

Hi Michelle

To this day no one has shown up. There is complete silence and working on this internet is a horror. The speed oscillates around 5 to 8 Mbps and frequent interruptions in the work of the internet.

Hi Michelle

Thank you for guiding my case.

I think the subject will start only next week when the temperatures are positive.

We have no influence on the weather.

Best regards.

Morning,

No further updates as yet. It's possible that it may be affected by the current weather conditions if dig work is required but I'll continue to monitor and will keep you updated.

Thanks

There will be a junction box mounted on the wall outside the house and it will be run from there to the socket in the house. I think I probably didn't mix anything up.

At the moment, the internet between breaks reaches a dizzying speed of about 5 Mbps.

Hi Michelle

They are probably going to lay a new cable next week and then I have to book a visit to connect and lay the cable inside the house.

Today the internet has interruptions.

I think the cable is not the only problem.
