speed drops/connection issues

[GrayFox]

Hi.

Have had connection problems last few weeks. First disconnecting and reconnecting several times a day then stabilizing but now speeds have dropped a lot. Should be getting around 70mb but now getting 30mbps through speed tests.  Gone through the service centre back and forth a few times either saying connection is fine or going through a fault to be then told it's fixed when it's still the same..

Have tested via router of for 30mins, master socket, checked all connections and gone though direct connection no wifi and no changes.

Thanks...

Morning

Funny, our internet as been stable for 5 days now with no disconnects.

If issues return I'll bump this thread...

Hi GrayFox

Thanks for your reply.

Please can you send me a Private Message to confirm the name on the account, I can then send you the replacement router.

Hear no interference on the line and it is cordless. And yes please send replacement, Thanks

[Michelle-TalkTalk]

Good morning,

I'm really sorry to hear this. I've run a few tests on the line now which are clear. Can I just confirm, do you mean that you hear interference on the voice service? Are you using cordless handsets? Would you like us to send a replacement router for testing purposes to rule this out? We would also send a router returns bag so that one of the router can be returned.

Thanks

We had this open reach engineer come out about 2 weeks ago. He got his tablet out and took the speeds and said our filter was the issue with overpowering the line or something. Left a new master socket mk4 and said to run directly back to router. We got a new ADSL 10m cable and ran it around the house back to the router. No difference what-so-ever! If not worse, disconnects every 5-10mins on a bad day.

My guess now it's either the line (had a few people now on the telephone pole at random days) or from what I think is the main issue, the router!  A replacement router next please!

Hi GrayFox

Thanks for your reply.

I've completed another line test this morning and the same fault towards the property has been detected.

The next step will be an Openreach engineer visit to the property, would you like me to arrange this visit?

[GrayFox]

It is now

[Debbie-TalkTalk]

Hi GrayFox

I'm sorry to hear this.

The line test is detecting a potential fault towards the property and Openreach are requesting that we arrange an engineer visit.

Is the router currently connected at the test socket?

Until the line has a chance to stabilise, speeds will usually be lower after so many disconnections, @GrayFox.

Leave it on for now.
