More frequent disconnections recently

[jamieburchell]

I've noticed that my internet connection is dropping more frequently than usual. It seems to have coincided with neighbours getting full fibre but may be a coincidence (or a sinister push towards selling it to me). Can someone please check?

Thanks

Hi @jamieburchell 

Thank you 🙂

The line test is now clear, no faults detected.

Would it be ok to monitor the connection over the next 24hrs and let us know how it compares?

I have connected the filter

Hi @jamieburchell 

Please can you connect the new microfilter and we can run another line test.

Thanks

[jamieburchell]

It arrived. Do you want to run a test before I install it, to confirm there's a fault?

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @jamieburchell 

How are you getting on, did you receive the microfilter?

I've ordered a micro-filter, it should be with you within a couple of working days

Sure no problem. Thanks.

Hi jamie,

Ok, we can send a microfilter out to you, would this be ok? It's just so we can rule out any potential issues with the faceplate causing the loop fault.

It's the only socket in the home. There is no extension wiring.

I don't have a microfilter to test with.

Hi jamie,

The 5C main socket should have a test socket below the faceplate. Would it be possible to gently lift away the front faceplate (there may be wires attached to the back) and connect the microfilter and router at the test socket so I can re-run the line test again please?

Thanks

Is that the only telephone socket in your home?

Master Socket 5C MK4

Hi jamie,

Thanks for the update. The line test is now detecting a loop fault. Can I just check, which main socket do you have please?

Thanks. I haven't had a disconnection since 23rd so I'll come back if this situation gets worse. My speed has gone from the usual 40Mbit/s to 34.2Mbit/s though.

Yes it could affect the broadband service, that why we ask you to check the voice as noise on the line can cause disconnections
