Connection Drops and Slow Speeds

Message 28 of 28

For the last few days I have had issues with complete loss of internet connection (router flashing amber) and slow speeds, the speeds i am getting to all devices are almost half of what i usually get / what i am supposed to be getting as per my contract. I used to get 70-75mbps now i am getting 30 and below sometimes as low as 2. I spoke to live chat who sent me a new router to try which I have had set up today but the issues are still the exact same as I was having with the old router.  Any ideas of what my next steps could be?  The wires etc that supply the connection haven’t been touched since before I moved here in 2017 so not sure if there quality is great?

Will do!  Fingers crossed because it’s a lot worse this morning than it had been the previous days and is costing me unpaid time off work 😞

Yes please. Hopefully it won't take Openreach too long to rectify the fault but we'll keep you updated.

Hello again,

 

Ok, no problem. I've raised this straight over to Openreach now to complete an external line investigation as the line test is still detecting a potential copper line fault. We'll check the fault in a few hours to see if we've received an update back.

 

Thanks

Good Morning, Michelle. 

 

Apologies but I don’t use the landline (never have) so I wouldn’t be able to check unfortunately. It’s currently got no internet connection which is the longest it’s been down. It’s really starting to concern me as i work from home and lose money if I can’t work due to things like internet.

Good morning,

 

I'm sorry to hear this. I've run a test on the line now which has detected a potential fault. Can I just confirm, are you experiencing any issues with the voice service such as noise on the line or no dial tone please?

 

Thanks

 

Michelle
