Issues with connection dropping

[Aaron_Campion]

My internet connection for the last hour has been going down for around 15-20 mins then coming back on for a few mins. 

I’ve tried restarting the router however the connection went down with a couple of minutes.

i have done a line test on talk talk website which says no issues.

anyone else having issues?

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the photo. Your connection appears to have been unstable until around 8:30 yesterday morning but seems to have been OK since, how has it been at your end?

Hi Debbie,

thanks for checking again. I’m not sure what the issue could be. 

I will post a picture of the master once I get home later today. Do u need a picture of just the socket where my router is plugged in?

Hi @Aaron_Campion 

The line tests completed after 9.30am are still clear - No faults detected.

Hi @Aaron_Campion 

The line test at 9am was clear.

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @Aaron_Campion 

Yes sure, I will run another test at around 9am and then another at 9.30am.

Would it be possible to post a photo of your master socket on this thread?

Hi Debbie,

are u able to run a few more line tests spread over an hour. I found when I did a line test on talktalk website that it would display no issues if the internet was working. Once it cut out the line test picked up issues.

the router I reset on Tuesday night for around 20 minutes. Once it came back on internet dropped within a few minutes.

my router I believe is always connected to test socket now. Several years ago I had issues with my main socket where the internet would drop. When the engineer came as the test socket worked with no issues u rewired the test socket into the main socket.

thanks for your help

Hi @Aaron_Campion 

Both line tests are now clear - no faults detected.

Have you tried powering down the router for a full 30 minutes?

Is the router also connected at the test socket?

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi @Aaron_Campion 

I'm really sorry about this. Let me complete some tests now and I will post back shortly.

Hi Debbie, 

it was working fine until around 8:45pm. After this I’ve got the same issues. Internet constantly dropping.

takes around 15 mins to reset but drops pretty much straight. It has being doing this all night.

i have tested this morning and it’s still having issues.

Morning @Aaron_Campion 

Openreach have now closed the fault as resolved - yesterday evening.

Are you still experiencing issues with the connection this morning?

[Aaron_Campion]

Just to provide another update.

not sure if the engineer came or what he found. Internet seemed okay for a few hours but it just randomly dropped again. Connection goes off for a few mins then comes back. 

I have noticed light on router stays white while there is no connection. 
I have also noticed loads of errors on my router logs mentioning about DNS resolution failure. Not sure what that means.

Morning Update: connection has been on and off all night. Whenever it comes back on as soon as u try to load anything it drops straight away. Basically can’t use my internet at all now

Hi Michelle,

Hello,

I've re-checked for an update and the fault has been assigned to a Openreach line engineer this afternoon to resolve the fault. I'll check again first thing in the morning.

Thanks

Michelle
