Broadband Speeds Up and down while downloading..

I have contacted the technical team over the phone and they cannot seem to find a problem. What happens is when i download anything the speeds will go up to 1.5MB/s and then go down to 1kb/s continuously. My internet connection is not stable at all. Also if I use Youtube the videos wont always load etc. Also ever since i have had the phonecall my IP profile has gone down to 7MB from 18MB !?

How do you connect to the router, wired or wireless?

Now my profile has gone up? Why does it keep changing? I am connected wired straight to the router. The connection just wont give a stable speed when downloading.

Hi there,
It looks like we're seen the connection drop quite frequently over the last couple of days, have you been rebooting the router at all?

Thanks brownyy,
I'd avoid rebooting as that will eventually have a negative impact on speeds too. I can see you've raised a fault so our faults team will investigate and get back to you ASAP.

A fault ticket was raised earlier, I can see you've added notes to this too. Our faults team will update you once they've checked over things.

Why is there a constant yellow spikes even some red? I was not even using the internet through the night?

Re: Broadband Speeds Up and down while downloading..

The red is either when you're not connected or you've changed IP address, the latter seeming to be the case here when you've reconnected.
Has you connection improved? Our faults team will be picking your ticket up shortly.
