Ive tired
Filters
Modem
Test Socket
There isnt anything else using my line it comes in at the front of the house and into the modem, im confused why this has been fine for about 9 months and then unusable.
Ive been running quiet line tests etc, I have some stats maybe someone could point me in the right direction. Ive tired running routerstats but the lines currently no up enough to start reporting

Re: No reliable internet connection since the start of December

Looks like it might have been a voice fault on the line, very noisey
But my connection is still really slow, even though the modems back up at 6500 / 7200 bps
Does somthing else need resetting with BT or Plusnet ?Huh
Your DSL Connection Rate :7808 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 135 Kbps

Re: No reliable internet connection since the start of December

If you have a voice fault giving a noisy line your broadband will be crap. Sort out the voice issues and the broadband will sort itself out very quickly.
There is no point reporting or investigating broadband problems while you have a voice fault.

Re: No reliable internet connection since the start of December

What I mean is BT came today and hopefully fixed the voice issue.
So do I need somone to ammend my "IP Profile " ?
As my speed is still low, ive read on here I might need to contact someone

Re: No reliable internet connection since the start of December

As the router is now connecting higher, the IP profile should automatically increase. As it's a large jump it should increase tonight, however it can take up to 72 hours. If it's not update following the weekend we'll need to kick it on as a fault.

Noisy indeed and your ADSL really doesn't like it. Cry
Back to your phone service provider I'm afraid (BT Retail?)

Hi there,
As HP has said if your phone line is noisy again it's a case of going back to your voice provider and re-raising the fault.

Re: No reliable internet connection since the start of December

It may happen quicker than the usual 3 days, as it's such a large increase it may happen before Sunday.

Re: No reliable internet connection since the start of December

It's probably that your PlusNet profile hasn't caught up with the BT one.
What speed does this say https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed ?
If its still 135 then call CSC and get them to match your PlusNet profile to the BT one OR if you're lucky , one of the Comms Team might spot this thread and do it for you.

Re: No reliable internet connection since the start of December

Hi mixxy,
MisterW is right on both counts Wink - thanks MisterW
Your profile on our side was still set to 250kb/s so I've upped this to 6500 to match the BT one. You should get the speed increase pretty much straight away. Sorry about the delay there.
