I hope this isn't related to the new and improved firmware....
Browser is s-l-o-w now, with the following URL showing at the bottom of the forum pages randomly.
I'll delete cookies, history etc, run a cleaner app and monitor.
Ya couldn't make it up!!

The upload, well now the firmware is new, is currently sitting at:
5. DSL uptime: 0 days, 00:06:06 6. Data rate: 2132 / 27526 7. Maximum data rate: 2096 / 28378 8. Noise margin: 5.8 / 3.4
And ..... it's dropped after roughly one hour
5. DSL uptime: | 0 days, 01:05:58 |
6. Data rate: | 2132 / 27526 |
7. Maximum data rate: | 1699 / 27975 |
8. Noise margin: | 2.4 / 3.6 |
Note the u/l SNR, down to 2.4dB
Question is, how low will it go?

That's interesting as that drop isn't showing on our systems.
But did you see today's?
The u/l did remain low - still using a microfilter in the test point - the connection has been drop free for some time.
Here's a snippet:

BT site still wrong
Download Speed(Mbps): 23.60 Mbps
Upload Speed(Mbps) : 3.77 Mbps
Ping Latency(ms): 79 ms
So has this drop now corrected the u/l issue?
Can I now put the faceplate back together?
TIA

I can see the one drop from yesterday, before that you had a constant connection for 23 days. If your connection has started working since been plugged into the test socket, I would be led to believe that the issue is related to the face plate. You are fine to reconnect to the face plate and see how it goes, but if you start seeing drops again I would recommend replacing the face plate itself.

Thanks for replying
Just to clarify @deank , the connection u/l was still below where it could be (and previously has been) during the time the connection was via the test point. Therefore imho the 'fault' was present during the time I was connected to the test point and it didn't recover as soon as I went via the test point. It was only after the reboot yesterday that my connection appears to show the u/l recovering slightly.
I agree with the 23 days uptime - but this just goes to show the hub was likely to be the cause for the dropouts and the firmware (ending 239) has patched the dropping connection..... or has it?
One thing I have noticed about the firmware is that my stats is more realtime, as in it changes rapidly, whereas I'm sure the previous firmware 'retained' the figures for longer.
examples are:
5. DSL uptime: 0 days, 01:11:01

7. Maximum data rate: 1588 / 27796

After the reboot and just prior to posting:
5. DSL uptime: 0 days, 16:15:15
6. Data rate: 2609 / 27377
7. Maximum data rate: 2580 / 28364
8. Noise margin: 6.3 / 4.1
The above will change tonight.

I decided to leave it connected via the microfilter in the test point.
The connection dropped twice a few moments ago ... I know it's not often, but a pain when it's in use.

Hi @DS
Thank you for providing the router statistics.
I have re-tested the circuit and identified that the upload speed is lower than the estimates.
As you have completed the relevant checks, please raise a fault here and let us know when it's raised so we can pick it up as soon as possible.
Checking the history of your account and open faults with our suppliers, no fault has been raised to them previously.
Thank you.

I'm really sorry that for some reason I missed your reply @Jubby and have only just seen this. The only reason for posting is because the problem still persists.
(as a side note, the 'Warning this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days ......<etc>' was a surprise!!)
Connection is still via a microfilter in the test point and has been since I last posted on this topic.
Earlier on this evening (around 1830) we had the following:
Me on W10 laptop watching stuff on YT
SWMBO on Android on a farce time conference call
Youngest offspring on iPad on the same call.
Eldest offspring messaging etc.
For no apparent reason YT froze,started buffering and would not play content - farce time went robotic and iPad dropped call. Many attempts later farce time started working on android phone but still no YT or FT on iPad - hmm me thinks, so checked btw speed and upload was poor.
I started checking whilst others moved to data (iPad was swapped for another android phone) and they continued although YT still not happy. When they went back to wifi they were able to continue with the call. When they did YT also then worked too.
Q) Is there a known issue with iPads knocking the wifi off or upsetting the PNH1 somehow?
We've had a few hiccups lately, but health reasons stopped me from keeping an eye on things in detail. But here's some info from the 10 Feb.
I was testing the connection the other night and as part of the test I looked at recent posts on here. I noticed that my browser was waiting on this URL to load - see lower left corner
Here's a speed test (hover on image for time and date)
BT DSL reports:
Member centre gives (kinda wished it gave upload too - hint) :
Speedtest gave this:
BTw tester gave a stupid result in the early hours of:
Another gave:
Another yesterday exceeds the maximum!:
These were carried out during the time YT and FT stopped tonight:

Just completed the fault log.
Oddly, these urls took a while to load too whilst filling out the form:
It therefore took quite a while to complete
Shame you can only select one option during the filling out of the form - some sites don't load as they should and speed erratic at times too - could only select low speed on the form.
It may be beneficial to all if this thread can be linked to the fault - couldn't see a way myself.
Anyway, 'observations' over, at least the form is now completed

Thank you for providing all this information @DS,
The hub one frequency bands some times can cause issues on Apple devices, usually splitting them will correct the issue. I have included the guide below on how to do this. (If you haven't done so already.)
1) To connect to your Hub One, you will need to open a browser and go to http://192.168.1.254
2) You should come to a page with information about your connection, click 'Advanced Settings' at the top and it will ask you to sign in with a Password. This is located on the back of your router under 'Admin Password'
3) Select the option for 'Wireless' followed by '5 GHz Wireless'. What we want to do to begin with is turn 'Sync with 2.4 GHz Wireless' to 'Off' and update the SSID to be different. The easiest way would be to add '-5G' to the end so it is identified as its own connection.
I presume that all these speed tests have been completed by Ethernet cable so the fault has been raised to our suppliers and they are requesting that we book an engineers visit due to no external fault detected. Could you kindly reply to the ticket here with your availability for this visit.
Once you have replied to the ticket, let us know on here and we will pick it up as soon as possible.
Thanks again.

Thanks for replying Jubby
I split the bands when we first started using the PNH1, in fact nothing uses the 5GHz band here. But thanks anyway for posting the how to
Yes, all my posts on these forums were I've posted speeds are always over ethernet. I did carry out some more yesterday, using the TBB tester:
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/1550694649347703555
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/1550703119569846455
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/1550716249825478755
I'm going to powercycle the hub later on , reluctantly as it drops the event logs, and will test again using the TBB tester as BT's appears to still be broken - it jumps in 20% increments and seems to give wildly inaccurate results.
My initial thought was my u/l had been capped again* at 2Mbps - can this be checked and ruled out?
I'm replying in a mo
*when we signed up we were on the 40/2 deal, then PN back peddled and went to 40 or 50 or 55(?)/10. Our connection wasn't moved to the (new for us, old for previous customers) u/l of 10Mbps and I called to have it manually 'adjusted' quite some time ago.
as a side note, when this was looked at a while back, BT DSL used to show uploads around 5-8Mbps. After I began to 'moan' about having then YV issues and general connection speed issues the solution was for BT to reduce the upload to around 3Mbps. PN were also aware that my connection didn't 'like' the new 3dB target but you can't 'tweak' it as it would also affect 4000 odd other customers.
edit at 14:35 - just been reading the GEA test results on the ticket. I know the line length is estimated, but it's now gained about 200 metres in length based on a previous test!!

Stats taken before powercycle were:
5. DSL uptime: 4 days, 00:14:32
6. Data rate: 2124 / 26900
7. Maximum data rate: 2198 / 27380
8. Noise margin: 6.5 / 4.1
9. Line attenuation: 30.7 / 28.4
10. Signal attenuation: 30.2 / 23.8
and checked again 21 mins later:
5. DSL uptime: 4 days, 00:35:40
6. Data rate: 2124 / 26900
7. Maximum data rate: 2084 / 27069
8. Noise margin: 5.8 / 3.9
9. Line attenuation: 30.7 / 28.4
10. Signal attenuation: 30.4 / 23.8
Unwrapped a brand new 4 pair ethernet cable, connected it and powercycled the router, which did the following light sequence: Solid green for 20 secs, then flashing green, then blue, then off, then amber flash for ages, then solid amber for 8 secs, then amber with red B light for 18 secs and then blue.
Stats now show:
5. DSL uptime: 0 days, 00:03:16
6. Data rate: 2391 / 26532
7. Maximum data rate: 2391 / 27716
8. Noise margin: 6.2 / 3.4
9. Line attenuation: 30.8 / 28.4
10. Signal attenuation: 30.6 / 23.6
Next was a TBB test, which gave:
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/1550779621255269455
(not related to my issues, but this popped up earlier when browsing these forums - not sure if I was still logged in or out though):
Thought I'd test once more (during this reply) and got:
https://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest/1550780339495724155
btw test carried out after the above - 0% for 10 secs, then stayed on 20% for 15 secs, stayed on 40% for 20 secs, 60% was 5 secs and 80 to 100% was about 3 secs each. It showed this after first test:
Download Speed (Mbps): 79.76
Upload Speed (Mbps) : 1.23
Ping Latency (ms): 42
And THIS after further diagnostics :
Can somebody PLEASE speak to BT to sort their tester out!!
(must be something with the firmware on the router, as the event log retained the data, I'm sure powering it off used to wipe them?)
