So there's your problem and why your broadband speed has dropped very low. You need to report this phone fault to whoever provides your telephone service and do that ASAP. First you might want to verify it is a line fault by unplugging your router and all your telephone except one (preferably leaving behind a corded phone) and check that the line is still noisy. If you want a number to call rather than listening to the dial tone, dial 17070 then select option 2 for the Quiet Line Test.

I can see that your speeds are well below the threshold. The fault ticket that you opened has been closed, as you have done the internal testing, we would need a fault open to pursue this. I have read your concerns regarding the charges, but this is why we advise of all the checks to avoid these and also to help get the fault resolved ASAP.
If you are still experiencing issues then I'd suggest re-raising a fault at http://faults.plus.net

The phoneline quality is still crap broadband speed doesn't merit to be called speed.
Appreciate that you are trying to help but NO BT incompetent rip off liar will enter my flat!
I am NOT paying a penny!!!
In a fair world I should only be paying the monthly charges and if a problem arise all I should do is to report it. Not to be threatened by a charge taking up the equivalent of 6 moths line rental!!!
I am just fed up with bills and bills coming...
I repeat nothing has been modified in my flat all what happened is I have unplugged the cables then few hours later back.
Both sockets in the flat works well.
Many thanks!

Otherwise you will have to put up with terrible noise on the phone line and very slow broadband.

No master socket in the flat. 2 sockets exist one never used but produce the same results...
Only one phone connected though corded or wired same link:censored quality line.
I live 500 yards from the exchange and BT guys are all around all day fidling with wires look alike a fisherman in trouble...
Any time they come someone in the neighbourhood goes nuts! Either they fully disconnect someone by mistake or change connection settings

If both sockets have a BT logo of some description that probably means that BT installed them and that probably means that BT are still responsible for them.. Which is good from your point of view, in that BT cannot charge to fix a fault on the wiring that they themselves are responsible for.

No BT sign on any of the boxes. Insead it looks like a capital T if that means anything to you?
Like an L upside down than the other bit two oo. If you feel what I mean
Might be a telecom company before 1st world war???
Thanks anyway!
They have raised a case again to investigate but I will not pay a penny simple as that!
No BT man comes through my door.
I have had it once payed for nothing...and cream de la gateau the fault was elsewhere but never refunded my money!

Then you'll just have to live with the problems!
Or cancel the SDSL and telephone and move to a supplier not dependant upon OpenReach in any way such as Virgin cable.
