Slower speed

Hi, after BT engineer visit and a few connection repairs on the 30th December he mentioned he'd never seen such good figures and that we should be getting around 9.5 down. These speeds were achieved for a while but they soon dropped and connection and speeds were terrible.
The SNR gradually ended up at 15.4 and stayed there for ages, disconnections kept on occurring.  But a short while ago the line appeared to be better and then early one morning the router reset and the SNR went to 7.4 but the speed was around 5.5mb. I do believe that now the dryer weather is here the problems have diminished and still think if prolonged heavy downpours start again then then problems will happen once more.
I rebooted the router today at 12.30pm
Is there a chance that the line could be reset to allow the higher speeds once again. Thanks.

Re: Slower speed

Hi rovingeyeuk,
I've just completed an SNR Reset on your line back to a target of 6db. Please allow up to 4 hours for al the speed profiles and line changes to take effect.

Re: Slower speed

Chris, Thanks.  I see the router stats have changed already.  I'll keep an eye on it.

Re: Slower speed

Hi Chris, the profiles are showing 10.2, router connection speed 11623 and SNR 6.1 but speed appears not to have changed and is still 5.4 this morning. Would a router reboot be in order.  Thanks

Re: Slower speed

Hi rovingeyeuk,
A reboot would probably do the trick. The Speed Profiles have all updated but it doesn't look as though they have taken effect yet, usually a drop of connection does the trick.

Re: Slower speed

Chris, the reboot gave it a nudge and now it's 9.52 over wifi. Thanks for your help.
