Low Fibre speed

[Acebass]

Since December my fibre speed has dropped, and from the 54Mbps guaranteed speed, I now am only getting 17.4. Why am I bothering to pay for this increased speed. Trying to contact anyone is a nightmare. Can one of the Mods on here do anything about turning my speed up again, or failing that, give me a live chat link to someone who can.

Hello,

Thanks for the update and I'm glad to hear that the speed has improved. I'm just sending you a Community survey via PM.

Thanks

Hi Karl. I don't know what you did, but my speed is back up to 53Mbps for the first time since Christmas. Many thanks.

Hi

The profile has increases and I'm showing sync at 58mb, however the line test is still showing a loop fault near the premises.

Is it possible to take all equipment out of the test socket so nothing is connected, then let me know.  I can run the test again and see if it still fails with nothing connected.  This will rule out any equipment faults etc.

Thanks  

Karl.

Hi Michelle.

Micro filter arrived today. Plugged into the test socket, but no marked increase in speed, though it has risen from 19 to 21 Mbps!

Hi

One is on the way.

Hi Michelle

I suppose that would be the next step to trying to sort out this problem. Thank you.

Morning,

Would you like us to send you a microfilter? This is just so we can confirm if there is any improvement in speed at the test socket and to rule this out.

Thanks

I do not have any filters in order to try the master socket, as I have no need of them with the pre-filtered socket. I do wonder if, as I am getting 18Mbps to the router, whether it is the router throttling the speed.

Hi Acebass

Thanks for your reply.

There should be a test socket underneath the faceplate. You would need to remove the lower section of the faceplate and then connect the router and filter directly at the test socket.

The main socket looks like the one labelled FTTC.

Hi,

Can I just confirm, does the main socket look like the below please?

Not sure where my replies to you keep going. Sorry if you get multiple replies. I cannot see any test socket.

[Michelle-TalkTalk]

Hello,

I'm sorry for the delay. Did you see my last post in regards to the test socket?

Thanks

[Acebass]

Hi Michelle.  Any movement on this fault please?  

[Michelle-TalkTalk]

Hi,

I've run a test on the line which has detected a possible fault towards the property. Does the main socket have a test socket please?

Thanks

[Acebass]

It is now Michelle, I have just updated it.

Hello,

Is the telephone number in your Community Profile correct? Please do not post any personal information on the Community.

Thanks

Thanks for that, it does seem low. I will get TalkTalk support on this forum to investigate the issue for you.

The HG635 is no longer a current router, as it is quite old.

The speed test is not guaranteed as that can be affected by the device, the speed that is guaranteed is the one recorded by the router. On the HG635, please log into the router & use the "Check My Internet Connection Status" from the router's home screen. In there look at the Upstream & Downstream Line Rates. What speeds do they display?
