Line still faulty?

Was having very slow speeds, ran the line test and it detected a fault on the line. The engineer came and supposedly fixed it but it's still exactly the same.

Thanks. Line test is still failing so I've raised this to Openreach as a non-appointed task. Openreach will investigate over the next few days and may contact you directly if they need to access your home

Hi @iustitia 

 

Ok, thanks. As soon as the router is at the test socket then I will run the line tests.

Post back to let staff know when you have managed to set it up at the test socket.

 

They are on here early in the morning till mid afternoon, Monday to Friday, so they'll let you know the test result any time they have reached your thread if you can confirm you're set up with it at the test socket. 

 

It doesn't take much time to actually run the tests, but let them know what time is NOT convenient  - there'll be a little while of down time while they are testing, @iustitia, and you don't want that happening in the middle of you trying to get something important done.

Hi @iustitia 

 

Please can you connect the router at the test socket just whilst I run another line test? If the same fault is detected then I can pass this straight over to Openreach to be investigated by a line engineer.

 

Thanks

It's worth checking whether your master socket has a test socket, @iustitia. The various types are explained here:

Staff will need to run tests with the router at the test socket to eliminate certain factors from the diagnosis of the problem.

Hi @iustitia 

 

The line test is detecting a potential fault. Is the router currently connected at the test socket?

Hi @iustitia 

 

Just to confirm, was the router switched off for a full 30 minutes?

 

Are you able to run a wired speed test?

Hi

 

Your line profile was set at 80mb yesterday, and the router is in sync now at 61mb.

 

Can you power off the router for 30 minutes to allow a new session to start, and then retest and see if your speeds improve.

 

Thanks  

Karl.
