I upgraded from basic broadband to Fibre 35 which went live on 26th November.
It was working fine with 40 Mbits/s down, but since the morning of 1st December (2 days ago), it has been unstable and unusable.
The symptoms are:
1. On the router:
Power: Solid green light
Broadband: Solid green light
Internet:Solid red light
Wifi: Solid green light
This happens roughly every 10 mins for a few mins at a time.
2. Router: "Intermittent Sync" error frequently
3. When there is some internet, on the router front page I see
poor performance of the downlink:
E.g. after 8 mins:
ES=262 (Error Seconds)
SES=43 (Severe Error Seconds)
UAS = 806 (Unavailable Seconds)
SNR Margin is extremely variable ranging from about -1dB to 12 dB
I understand that TalkTalk play with the connection during the first 14 days of service, but surely this should not be happening.
I received chat help from customer service yesterday, but despite pointing out the above, the operator insisted that checks show nothing wrong with the broadband, and took me through some Wifi "fix" and claimed to have solved the problem which was total nonsense, as the Wifi is fine. They would also only send out an engineer if I agreed to pay and told me I should wait 48 hours before recontacting them.
If you can't detect the problem at TalkTalk's end, please can you send out an engineer to fix this.
