issues again

So I refer to my previous thread as I have replied to it

 

https://community.plus.net/t5/Broadband/Link-to-Broadband-Fault-checker/td-p/1457959

 

Problem has returned I believe there must be a fault with the box down the road or the exchange.

Re: issues again

Can you give a bit of detail about the issue you're seeing at the moment? Testing your line is showing that the most recent BT Speedtest was at 4.6Mb/ which is bang in the middle of your line estimates.

Re: issues again

yeah 4.6 is in the middle but dropping to 2.4 and 1.4 isn't good. It seems everytime there is work on the box down the road my internet speeds suffer.

Re: issues again

It looks like your speeds may be restricted by the IP profile of 2.5mbps. I've just reset your line now. Can you reboot your router in about 4 hours please? I've also left the fault ticket open so that our faults team will follow up over the next 72 hours.

Re: issues again

I'm not entirely sure and it doesn't look like it's gone through.

I've contacted our suppliers to reset your line from their end.

That should complete within 4 hours and take a further 24 hours for the line to stabilise.

Re: issues again

It's router stats which need to be monitored. Data speed test results can be variable due to numerous factors.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

Re: issues again

The IP profile is aligned correctly now at

BRAS Profile: adsl7150

 

Your router is in sync at 3mbps so I'd expect your throughput to be around 2.62mbps.

And your connection is stable.

 

Unfortunately as the sync speed falls within the estimated speed for your line, there's little that we can do to improve on that.
