Speed Problem Yet AGAIN !!!!!!

Ok, I have noticed in the last few days that my DL speed has decreased dramatically from 70-75mb to below 10mb which is less than my upload which is 17mb. Now I have had this problem before and came on here to try and find what was wrong. I have been trying different gateways to see if that fixes the problem but it does not!!!, numerous different speed test programs including BT. I have done a quiet line test and everything is ok, the only thing I have found and I can't remember if it was like that before, but the dial tone is fading in and out..
Can someone have a look please... Thanks

Re: Speed Problem Yet AGAIN !!!!!!

Is it happening at specific times of the day or all the time?
What does it say here for current/estimated line speed - https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed ?
Can you run the Further Diagnostics bit of the BT Speed Test and post the results?

Re: Speed Problem Yet AGAIN !!!!!!

Found out problem with dial tone, we had a bt answerphone message from 6th Dec....Now that is odd as I have never used bt answerphone as we have our own so in theory the bt answerphone should of been disabled due to no use, deleted the message but speed problem did not change this was at gone midnight last night. Now just tried a speed test and its back to normal weird that isn't it as soon as you complain things get back to normal!!!!!

And how do I do that as I have my phone line with PN????? Tried it on BT site but like I said because I'm with PN it wont let me. And it didn't rectify the problem anyhow, that magically was fixed this morning....

That one is for adding features, you need the other tab to remove them

Re: Speed Problem Yet AGAIN !!!!!!

Ok, its just past 6am and speeds are ok, so it seems it may be congestion and over subscribing of fibre.....

Re: Speed Problem Yet AGAIN !!!!!!

The automated testing on your line has identified a potential problem on the voice side of the service, this is very very unlikely to be voicemail as the tests would take that into account.
Is the phone line perfectly silent now or are there any hisses/pops/crackle or any other noise at all when doing the quiet line test?

Re: Speed Problem Yet AGAIN !!!!!!

Line has a little hiss on it but nothing that hasn't been there before, it's just the 66Mb DL speed loss im getting im bothered about,UL doesn't seem to be affected and stays around the 17Mb

if you've had speed problems and the hiss has always been there, then it's possible that is the underlying cause.
Did you do the quiet line test with a single handset into the master socket?

Re: Speed Problem Yet AGAIN !!!!!!

Hi Chris, the speed problems only started up again 3-4 days ago I think, speeds are down a little again tonight but not as bad as they have been, i'll do another in an hour or so and see if its decreased any more. yes phone is plugged into master socket but it is cordless phone so that may be the hiss problem, I do not have a corded one to test.
