Re: slow speed just changed from sky

You'll now be connecting via the BT Openreach network, which is possibly why.

PN should have given you a speed estimate at time of joining; saying that, you

should give connection a few days for the network to determine your maximum/ sustainable speed.

Re: slow speed just changed from sky

Your line seems to be disconnecting quite a lot:

 
Can you confirm you're plugged in to the master socket and if there is any noise on the phone line when you dial 17070, running the quiet line test?

Re: slow speed just changed from sky

Hi it is plugged directly into the master socket, it is a by mk3 prefiltered socket and has no phone extensions from the socket. Did the line noise test and there is no noise.
