Re: Fall in speed

Hi @fred77,

 

I've tested the connection again for you. It's been stable for just over two days now (which is a good start compared to how it was previously). I can't find anything obvious on the GEA that looks like it could be causing a problem either, which means your dilemma is still in play. 

 

There are benefits to both; leave the line to see if it settles down, which it might well do but of course it could just be a constant noise that could be fixed.

 

Or, we send out another engineer, there's a chance they can't do anything and they class the noise within permissible range, or they're able to fix something to reduce it slightly (this in turn could have a knock on effect to the broadband service).

 

The decision is your to make, though. We can check the logs again in a couple of days and if you're still having an issue get someone else out for you.

Re: Fall in speed

Hello.

 

Regrettably the problem with my line/speed etc., has returned. I have replied to a text PN sent me and also an email, both sent in the last 36 hours but have heard nothing back so i don't know what if anything is happening.

I again have a lot of noise on the line and these are the current stats from my router......

 

DSL uptime:

1 Days, 4 Hours 48 Minutes 11 Seconds

228 Kbps / 33.06 Mbps

442 / 42489

15.3 dB / 7.8 dB

24.7 dB

 

As you can see both speeds have deteriorated badly and the line is noisy when on the phone.

Presumably I shall have to have another engineer's visit and I would like someone to arrange this asap please.

The reference number of your ticket is: 185935987

Could you please get back to me to let me know what you will do about this ongoing problem?

I would appreciate an early reply to this email.Many thanks,

 

John, (fred77)

Re: Fall in speed

Hello.

Have recently reported my ongoing problem and requested another engineer's visit, but as yet not heard anything. (In the recent past I have heard very quickly from the help team with an engineer's appointment.)

Is there a bit of a backlog or has nobody picked up my latest request?

Re: Fall in speed

Hi @fred77, thanks for your posts.

 

I can see from the account that one of my colleagues was in the process of booking an appointment at the same time that I was, and so you may receive 2 notifications of the same appointment timeslot.

 

Don't worry, the appointment is booked in for 16/01/19 between 8am and 1pm.

 

Please let us know if you need anything else in the meantime.
