72mb fibre connection now almost useless.

[stevebrum74]

Apologies but i cant find my previous posts about the problems im having with my fibre connection. As others know, my connection seems to have a mind of its own, dead phone line, squeals, crackles, echos and connection issues. For the past few days everything seemed to work as it should, until this morning. My fibre connection seems to drop and disconnect from anything to a few seconds to a few minutes. Speed has also dropped. I have performed all the tests you have told me to do. I am paying every month for a service that is getting steadily worse.

Here are my recent router stats:

I assume this is the thread you had before:-

Anyway, I will ask the OCEs to get involved with it again.

Hi stevebrum74,

I'm sorry for the delay. I've run a test on the line which hasn't detected a fault, however I can see re-connections on the line. Is the noise/no dial tone still intermittently present on the line at the moment?

Thanks

[stevebrum74]

There is a dial tone, however there is a slight crackle.

Hi stevebrum74,

Can you still hear the crackle if you just have the telephone connected (router disconnected)?

OCE_ Chris.
The noises crackles and hisses are completely intermittent. Ive tried no router, new phone, sometimes the noises are there and other times the line is perfect, and other times the line is dead, this issue has been going on since last year. At times the line will behave exactly like its supposed to, then it will just start to go nuts! Saturday the router was dropping so often my net connection was about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Sunday it behaved normally. This morning there was no crackle, this afternoon there is a slight one. I have performed these ''tests'' over and over,
As of right now there is no crackle.

Hi stevebrum74

Is the router currently connected at the test socket? I can then raise this fault over to our Network Team for investigation.

Thanks

Debbie

[stevebrum74]

Yes its been connected to the test socket over a week now.

Hi all, as you know i was awaiting a BTOpenreach engineer, booked for today, when he turned up my net connection dropped. He ran diagnostics and found that my line was running at 63% he checked the cabinet found no fault he then checked the line "joints" and found my fault.

Before he turned up my router was syncing at 53mb,

He gave me a new connection from the cabinet to telephone pole, and now my router is syncing at 71.3mb.

Very pleasant phone engineer, Good work BTOR. Gonna keep an eye on it.
