Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

Have you tried changing filter and connecting to the test socket
Do you have another router to try
Also what are the stats - speed, attenuation, noise margin

Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

You have a major problem as shown by the upstream speed
We need to take this systematically
Disconnect everything from the telephone system except your phone then try the quiet line test - dial 17070 option 2 - Is there any noise - crackles etc,
Try the router in the test socket with nothing else connected and report the stats

Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

That tells me that there is a problem either with your internal wiring, or a duff filter or a dodgy item connected to the phone line.
Can you describe what you have connected to the phone line and how
Also can you leave the computer in the test socket and see if the problem is fixed.
If you need a phone you can connect it to the filter in the test socket but if possible leave it disconnected for a while
PS Speed tests are irrelevant we are trying to find out what has mucked up your connection

Re: Internet goes on and off every 5 mins

OK stop fiddling and lets try and sort things out
The last speeds were they from the test socket or the front plate of the master socket
Do you have a phone connected at present
Do you have a digital camera or phone with a camera.
If so can you photograph the white box at the end of the broadband cable and attach the picture to a post using the Additional Options link

Hi Y2J,
Your router is not showing sync at the moment. Have you had it switched off?
