Router turned off and now low speed and high ping, HELP

my router was turned off in error today and when re-booted and re-connected my download speed has dropped from 10meg to 1.5meg and the ping has riseon from about 30ms to over 150ms. Can anyone help when the download and ping will return to the previous settings
Thanks

Re: Router turned off and now low speed and high ping, HELP

Everything looks fine as regards your profile on the BT side of things. I'd recommend disconnecting the service via the router's config page, then turning it off for a couple of minutes then back on. That should reconnect you at a speed much closer to what you're used to.
Hope that helps,

Re: Router turned off and now low speed and high ping, HELP

I have the re-set the router as instructed and the ping is now as high as 170ms and the download speed is running no higher than 3megs. What do you suggest next to return to a very stable and fast connection I am use to.

Re: Router turned off and now low speed and high ping, HELP

That's very odd. I can't see anything on the BT side still that might look like a profile change (the last update was from the 6th) and aside from the drop that started this off there's nothing that looks like disconnections either. Could you try resyncing but with just the router in the test socket (behind the master socket front plate) and everything else unplugged from the line so we can eliminate the wiring and equipment/filters from your premises?

Re: Router turned off and now low speed and high ping, HELP

insure you check the routers sync speed, not by using speed tests as speed tests will not improve in till your ip profiles increase.

the above link will help you get the sync speed, snr , attention fig's from your router.
can you grab the stats before and after you try at the test socket and post here.

Re: Router turned off and now low speed and high ping, HELP

YET again very high pings in the region of 250ms and download speeds at 2meg. This service is appalling and has only remained stable for a pityfull 4 days. I have had this issue under tickets and just get told it will stabalise and dont re-set your connection. Router has been up for 7 days now and still no better. What do you do next any help is appreciated. Angry

Re: Router turned off and now low speed and high ping, HELP

I have completed the tests as requested. The biggest problem is the ping which is running at over 250ms during the day with intermittent download speeds but strangely the connection is settling down at around 5pm and this has been the pattern for the last three days.

The pings above are making it very difficult to use the service, please confirm how this can be corrected and the service retunred to normal.

Hi MrN,
I've just picked up your fault ticket and raised it across advising them of the information contained in your previous ongoing question, which I passed back to you yesterday.
I'll keep an eye on things and try a bit of nudging for you Wink
