Message 30 of 30

Hi for the last 10 days my broadband (Fibre 65) has been terrible my speed has never been above 20mbs where my promise was it would never drop below 39 (It is usaly around 40) i have tried to chat, phone on more than one occassion but even "Sara" Bot is very busy and trying to speak to a human person is just imposible, the internet connection will at times switch off for upto 5 mins come back on for couple mins then off again impossible to do any work (Not Play) 

This again is very poor service on behalf of TT i have run there speed, connection tests only to be told i have a problem (Thats why i ran the tests) but nothing has been done. have TT updated the firmware on thier routers or is it outside work being carried on by "Openreach"   whatever i am paying for somthing i am NOT receiveing ie a decent Broad band connection 

Anyone out there who can help please ??

Hi Jim

 

I'm so glad to hear this. If the connection continue to remain stable then DLM should start to increase the speed again.

 

I will check in again with you on Friday to make sure everything is still working ok.

 

Thanks

Hi Debbie, if the engineer can't fix the problem from the Exchange/ Box then a engineer vist to the property sooner rather than later please,   AM or PM is OK but please advise at least 1 hour before vist.

The speed is now down to below 20 not the 40-45 I was getting

Hi Jimpy2

 

I'm sorry for the delay.

 

The same fault has been detected on the line tests and Openreach are asking for us to arrange an engineer visit to the property.

 

Please can you provide your availability AM and PM?

 

Can you also confirm potential Engineer charges

Hi Debbie,  Last night (Friday 26) it was virtualy impossible trying to watch Netflix on TV the Internet connection was switching on and off all night (Light going off on router) changed the router back and just got the same results, i have been told that a lot of work is going on in the area new cables and connection work to do with the high speed Fibre installations, this ties in with when my problems started around 5-6 weeks ago !! 

We are now getting into a situation that i am paying for Netflix, Disney and Broadband and not getting what i have paid for as the TV catch up and all internet channels will not work.
