Re: Slow speed - line resistance

An engineer is attending the fault location today, so we now need to wait for the engineer notes.
Let me know if you see any difference in the meantime with your phone.

Re: Slow speed - line resistance

I've just seen an update on your fault that it is now cleared, is that the case?

Re: Slow speed - line resistance

Hi
There is now a dial tone on the phone, but broadband is still slow. I suspect speed will pick up in the next day or so? I've no idea what the BT guy was attempting to solve if I'm honest

Re: Slow speed - line resistance

If the telephone fault has been fixed the broadband should sort itself out soon. Can you post the stats from your router and the results from a BT diagnostic speed test please.
Edit: Anotherone types faster than me!

Re: Slow speed - line resistance

Ah good, sync speed (Data Rate) is not bad but could be a touch better, because you've had a dodgy connection it may have synced whilst a joint was being remade, so a resync may be worthwhile. Try a single reboot and post the new stats.
PS. Nice part of the world you are in, I have relatives up there - I'll send you a PM.

Re: Slow speed - line resistance

Try the BTw Speedtester again, with a bit of luck your Current Line speed (Login required) may have got updated to 12.6. If it hasn't been, it should be later this evening if Plusnet's new scripts are running correctly  Undecided

Re: Slow speed - line resistance

Your profile has now updated, so you should now see an improvement in your speeds.
