Hello I would like raise an issue with my upload speed which has been dropping gradually over time, from 17.5mb to under 10mb download speed has increased by a good 10mbps.

Im currently plugged into the test socket and there is no internal wiring, phone line is clear.

Using the Huawei Wifi hub black, is there a chance that a remote DLM reset could fix the issue?

Yes actual sync speeds, at which the router synchronises at to the fibre cabinet.

I will need you to be at home as there are tests I would like you to perform on your end. Please let us know once you are back at home so that we can proceed with checks. Thanks

I'm not at home atm, but the router is on and plugged into the test socket, router hasn't been switched off and the phone line is clear no crackling or hissing etc.

Can you run a line test to see if any issues pop up please?

Hi there 

 

@ferguson @Divsec @Gliwmaeden2 Thanks for the support.

 

@sajid as @Gliwmaeden2 mentioned above, we will need to conduct checks to see if the router is the cause of the issue. Please confirm if you are still messaging us from home so that we can proceed with diagnostics.

@sajid, @nambuso-TT and colleagues are the equivalent support team to the previous OCEs (that hadn't been called that since quite some time before they left earlier this year).

 

Like the old team, they are not on here at weekends, so the issue cannot be followed up through the forum staff before Monday.

 

Chat support is available over the weekend, and phone support on 03451 720088 [Saturday 9am - 6pm]. Let us know if you make any headway with these.

 

The Huawei routers won't have received firmware updates for most of this year, so if it's causing problems it should be replaced, but of course tests will have to be done to ascertain if it's the cause of the issue with the speeds.

 

That router can also be replaced anyway if you are within 4 months of the end of the minimum term of your contract and choose to renew.

 

But, again, the changing of the router is only going to be effective if it's the cause of the problem  - so diagnostics will still have to be done.

 

Meanwhile you can also run tests yourself from My Connection which you can access from Service Status Dashboard (see the forum menu). That will get the ball rolling for detecting any faults.

 

Details of the Complaints process are in the link at the foot of any Talktalk page. 

Gliwmaeden2, a fellow customer.

You must have been here for a while if you still refer to the OCE! They don't use that title anymore, they are known as the Support Team now. As in previous times though they are only online Monday to Friday, so you will need to wait until next week for a further response.

Yes I'm messaging from home and, I have tried a 30 minute reboot to refresh the connection.

Can I get an OCE to deal with this please? Or send me out a new wifi hub 3 for testing purposes please? as the router I have is old and no longer gets firmware updates, I have been complaining about my speed and connection for a little while and all Talktalk seem to do is send me around in circles by running tests and asking pointless questions on the forum it's rather annoying. The next step is for me to go through a complaints process as I'm paying for a service that isn't fit for purpose! Disconnections, varying download and upload speeds, please get it fixed!

Hi @sajid have you tried a 30 minute reboot of your router? This frequently cause DLM to reevaluate your line? 

I don't work here and all my opinions are my own.
