keep losing connection and speeds half

[Stratoc1]

Hi, my speed dropped from 64 mg to under 30 Wednesday, disconnected router for 30 minutes, re connected it all was fine. I then ran a line test on Talktalk website and got a text saying please contact us, as connection was fine I didn't. Last night I got a text saying Openreach have found a problem with your line and ETA for fix is tonight. Followed by one saying it was fixed.

Next morning I noticed the wifi was missing from my phone and red light flashing on router, it reconnected at about 57 meg so I assumed that was okay.

Was fine all day, been working this morning and lost connection again, reconnected at just under 30 again? Any ideas?

I ran another test and it says they have identified a fault and there is a chat now button that doesn't do anything?

Thanks

Fingers crossed on it. Thanks

[Stratoc1]

2 days uptime, so I'll put the kiss of death on it and assume it was a problem with Openreach like the text said. 

Thanks everyone

[Stratoc1]

hi, I'm home now and will be most of the day tomorrow and Friday, what's needed from me? looks like it's been fine since? Showing 21 hours up again now, strange.

Please do let us k now when you are back at home so we can run checks, thanks.

[Stratoc1]

Hello. I was messaging from home. I'm at work now.

[amahle-TT]

We will run line checks again @Stratoc1, kindly confirm if you are messaging us from home, thanks @KeithFrench :).

[KeithFrench]

Yes, I agree @Stratoc1 about the system log. I highlighted this to TalkTalk immediately I found this out with V208 and, like you, I am waiting for the next firmware version.

I can't remember if the line has been tested for intermittent faults? @nambuso-TT can you advise on this issue?

[Stratoc1]

well, it wasn't the filter, had a few lost connections since last connection is 8 hours V 3 days system up. would really be helpful if system logs worked 

[nambuso-TT]

@Gliwmaeden2 Thanks for the information. @Stratoc1 Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to chat in. Thank you very much for contacting TalkTalk. Have yourself a lovely day ahead.

Goodbye

Often switching the microfilter can be enough to resolve an issue. 

Please let us know if you continue to have problems with your service. 

[nambuso-TT]

Hi there @Stratoc1 I am very sorry to hear that you are having issues with your services. Please do let us know should the issue persist so that we can conduct checks for you. Thanks

Hi there

I put a new microfilter on after posting on here and it's been fine since. Not really sure if that's related or coincidence. Three times in the last week  it just lost connection went through the reconnecting straight away but was literally half speed on the router log in, speed test and even the Talktalk service page which had a red ! on speed, all three times a manual off on with the router put it back to normal speed.

I can work out when it happened because on the router log in the system up time is greater than the connection time.

Today system up is 1day 20 hours and 24 minutes, exactly the same as connection time so all looks good.

Hopefully one of those things.

Thanks both for your help

Hi there @Stratoc1, hope everything is still okay, and your services are not giving you any issues. Thanks

[Stratoc1]

It was the router I'm quoting from. /Will do, it's actually been stable since, but was from last night until about lunchtime today.

Thanks for your time, I'll keep you updated.

[KeithFrench]

If it goes slow again, please log into the router & chack the speed there.

[Stratoc1]

it's on all devices , a quick reboot of the router returned it today, so lost connection, reconnected straight away at 28 meg, I rebooted the router and it was doubled and been ok since, for a bout an hour 

[KeithFrench]

Is the varying speed test via the PC or all devices? If you log in to the router when the speed is low, what speeds are shown in the top left of the initial dashboard of the router's UI?

[Stratoc1]

Hi Keith

Sorry, I'm on Fibre 65 FTTC. and I have a TT router FAST5364 3.00. on SG4K100208.

My PC is wired, laptop phone and firestick on 5gz.

I have been using the filter for over ten years so will hunt down a new one when I get home, Router is only a few months old.
