More frequent disconnections recently

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

Jamie

That would be great, thanks. I suppose the only difference now is that the phone is unplugged from the router but I don't see why that would make a difference to be honest, it's been that way for years.

Hi @jamieburchell 

 

If you would like me to run one more line test on Monday, I can check just to make sure everything is still clear?

Message 3 of 85

Great! I'm none the wiser as to what the original problem was then 😂

Message 4 of 85

Hi @jamieburchell 

 

Oh good 🙂

 

Yes, line tests are fine , no faults detected.

It's all fine. Is the line test still good?

Message 6 of 85

Morning @jamieburchell 

 

I've checked the sync speed again, and the sync speed hasn't dropped.

 

Has the connection been ok for you?

Hi @Debbie-TalkTalk 

 

I have reconnected to the faceplate. Sync speed looks the same so far.

 

Thanks

Message 9 of 85

Morning @jamieburchell 

 

I'm sorry for the delay.

 

I can see that the sync speed has remained at 38.3mb.

 

Please can you try re connecting the faceplate and I will check the speed again tomorrow.

 

Thanks

Hi @Debbie-TalkTalk 

 

Happy Wednesday!

 

Would you like me to try reattaching the faceplate since nothing has changed either way since our last contact?

 

Thanks

Jamie

Hi @jamieburchell 

 

We can try re connecting the faceplate again on Wednesday. If the speed drops again then this would indicate a potential fault with the faceplate. 

Message 12 of 85

Assuming everything is OK after Wednesday, what's the next step? Reconnect the faceplate/get a new faceplate?

Hi @jamieburchell 

 

I think the re connection was when DLM changed the profile to increase the speed.

 

It's going in the right direction so I will check this again on Wednesday.

 

Thanks again.

 

Debbie 🙂

Hi @Debbie-TalkTalk 

 

So it has! Looks like it reconnected at 1:33 this morning at what looks like normal sync speed.


Happy to leave it plugged in to the test socket for now.

Message 15 of 85

Hi @jamieburchell 

 

The sync speed has started to increase, it's now at 38.3mb (It was 33.5mb when I last checked)

 

Would it be ok to leave the router in your current set up to see if DLM increases the speed any further?

Message 16 of 85

No problem.

Message 17 of 85

Hi @jamieburchell 

 

Both line tests completed this morning are clear - no faults detected.

 

The line is in sync at 33.5mb. Would it be ok to leave the router at the test socket over the weekend (without rebooting) to see if DLM starts to increase the speed now the line tests are clear.

No it's still synced at 34.2Mbits/s. Attainable is still much higher.

 

Is the line test still showing no fault?

Hi @jamieburchell 

 

Have there been any improvement in sync speed since the router has been at the test socket?
