Constant disconnections

[#1]

Hi
since moving into new house I've had constant disconnections with the one hub, I tried buying a new router (TPlink TD-W9980) hoping it would improve it but hasnt made much difference. eg errors this afternoon (installed new router about 11am)

the actual reported down connection speed doesnt seem that bad, even though speedtest.net never gets close to 80mb. upload speed is atrocious.

I do hear a bit of "crunching" on the phone line sometimes but I only have one socket. I tried raising a ticket but I think it just got closed and I've never been able to figure out how to see your tickets on the website. can someone have a look at it. Thanks

Hello there. If you PM me your username, I'll take a look at your account tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, I would suggest try plugging your phone & router into your test socket (found by removing the front cover of the main phone socket) using a microfilter.

thanks pm sent

I can see you reported a fault around a week or so ago, we have replied and you can see the response here.

That's a bit odd, if you can reply to the ticket I've linked advising that the fault is ongoing we'll get that picked up again.

Still waiting for this to get fixed, just got a bunch of tickets that say

so the bt engineer came round yesterday and fixed a fault on the line and its stopped crackling but I'm still only connecting at 25/1mb whereas his test said line was 80/20mb. he said I should request a profile reset?

[#7]

Unfortunately your connection is still only syncing at 23.8/0.7
It may require another engineer visit as the previous engineer doesn't seem to have changed the BT speed profiles on your connection.

Thanks for the reply but I'm not taking another day off work, it costs me a fortune! If this cant be fixed remotely can I get released from my contract early? I got charged £105 for a house move and in the last 3 months I've either had no internet/disconnects or slow internet...

[#9]

Unfortunately the only way for us to proceed with the fault would be to book another engineer at this stage.
I am sorry to say that we would not look to write off the contract as we are trying to proceed with the next steps of fault investigation.

[#10]

Like I said i'm not taking another day off for you to send out a third engineer to not fix it. I'm a bit confused why the engineer even needs access to my phone socket to reset my profile?? Either fix it remotely or drop me to the 40mb price until the end of my current contract when I will leave. I knew I should have switched when I moved, dammit!

[#11]

We can't reset the fibre profile remotely I'm afraid.
That can only be done by a Openreach engineer after fixing a issue on the line.

[#12]

well I went away for easter and I guess it fixed itself...happy days
