Low Fibre Speeds

Hi!
I have recently started having trouble with my broadband speeds. My guaranteed download speed is 33mbps. Until recently I have been receiving anything between 40-42mbps. However, I have been having trouble for the last few days. Speed tests this evening have shown widely fluctuating results. For example, a speed test taken at 8.32pm showed a download speed of 0.8mbps, but one taken at 8.40pm showed a download speed of 41.6mbps! At 8.48 it was back down to 15.1mbps. The last test (at 8.58pm) showed 27.7mbps.
Can anyone help please? I have tried turning off the router, but it made no difference. I did wonder if the age of the router made any difference. I have had the one I am currently using for some time. I believe that it is an old one - a Huawei HG633.
Any assistance anyone can give will be much appreciated. Many thanks.
Chris

Hi Chris,
The new router has arrived today, and I have connected it.
I will keep an eye on it, and let you know how it performs.

Hi Michelle,
There was no connection from the Sagemcom router to either the TV or the Roku streambar. However, when I reconnected everything using the Huawei router everything was fine.

Hi Chris,
I'm really sorry to hear this. I've re-run the line test now which hasn't detected a fault. Can I just confirm, do all your devices lose the connection at the same time or just the TV and the soundbar?
Thanks
Michelle

Hi Michelle,
I'm sorry to have to report more problems with the new router. All was well until this evening when it lost connection to both the TV and the Roku streambar. Despite my best efforts I was unable to re-establish a connection, so once again have had to revert the the old Huawei router, which seems to be connecting OK.

Hi Michelle,
The problem I reported on Friday seems to have cleared itself, and all seems to be working fine now.
A TalkTalk service status check on Sunday evening shows that all active devices are working as expected.
Ookla speed checks also taken on Sunday evening show a download speed of about 40mbps, and an upload speed of just over 4mbps.

Hi Michelle,
The new router has been working OK until this afternoon. Suddenly I have started having problems again with streaming via the TV. The picture is very blurry, making it almost unwatchable.
Checking 'my devices' in TalkTalk my account shows 'TV is consuming your download speed'. I don't know why this should be, as the TV was the only device I was using at the time. I haven't seen this message before.
Speed tests taken this afternoon show a download speed of 40mbps.

Hi Michelle,
I have changed back to the Sagemcom router as requested.
I will monitor it over the next few days and let you know how I get on.

Hi,
Further to my previous message this evening, I have now carried out some speed tests using the Huawei router. Over a 12 minute period, several tests have shown different results, ranging from a low download speed of 30.6mbps right up to a high of 42.2mbps.

Hi Debbie,
The Huawei router is having intermittent problems connecting. As I type it is OK, but I can't guarantee that it will stay like that all evening.

Hi Michelle,
I have been having problems when streaming programs.
BBC iPlayer, Now, Discovery+ and Amazon Prime have all shown a blurry picture. In fact, the picture was so unwatchable that I had to revert to the Huawei router last night. The old router seems to be working OK again at the moment.

Hi Michelle,
Speed tests taken this afternoon show a download speed of between 39-40mbps, and upload 4mbps.
Although I haven't carried out any tests between Monday evening and this afternoon, it would appear that the new router is providing consistent results, albeit a little slower than the old Huawei router.
The only thing which worries me slightly is that when I check with 'my devices' in my account it shows that the TV 'sometimes struggles to connect to Wi-Fi'.
