Fibre 150 speed

[steamyfog]

I have Fibre 150 which for the last few days has been down to 70/6 Mb/s, I normally measure on my ethernet connected pc 140+ and 18.  I have tried switching off router for 20 minutes. Run a test as suggested on talktalk support which shows a problem but not what it is, case ref. [removed].  Some weeks ago I had no telephone line but good internet speed.  It was suggested on here (phone line section of community) that an engineer call would be required, but the possible £70 cost made we decide that I would relinquish the phone.

i have an Open Reach 5C Master Socket. Perhaps I should reconsider my decision.

Morning,

I'm really sorry for the delay. We're experiencing some issues booking the engineer at the moment but I'll keep trying and will post back as soon as we've managed to book this for you.

Thanks

Michelle

Thank you.

Hi steamyfog

Thanks for testing this.

We can arrange an Openreach engineer visit to take a look at the landline fault (a voice fault can affect the BB connection)

Please can you confirm potential engineer charges and provide your availability for an engineer visit AM and PM?

Engineer charges

[steamyfog]

Yes, just tested it.  Unplugged internet at socket, plugged in phone at test socket and noise is a bit louder, can't make a call or receive. Phone screen says 'please check line cord'.

Hi steamyfog

Thanks for your reply.

Is the noise still on the line today? (with just the phone at the test socket)

[steamyfog]

Yes, I had a new router some months ago and all was fine. Then more recently the phone stopped working, just faint buzzing instead of dialling tone, I tested the phone on a neighbours line and it worked. The internet has been fine...until it slowed down a week or so ago. Maybe I should have accepted your offer to book an engineer visit when the phone line failed.

Hi steamyfog

Have we recently sent you a replacement router for testing so we can rule out any faults with the router?

[steamyfog]

I switched both off together for 30 minutes...twice.

Hi steamyfog,

Line test is passing and router is in sync at 106Mbps. Did you switch the router and the modem off for 20 minutes or just the router?
