Internet keeps dropping

Hi,

My internet keeps dropping out for roughly a minute every few hours. I've checked the router every time and it confirms that its disconnected from the broadband during this time. This has been happening for the last few days and is really annoying so would appreciate it getting fixed ASAP

Re: Internet keeps dropping

Hey @mattrob98,

Thanks for reaching out to us here.

 

Really sorry you've got these annoying drops in connection going on and I apologise for the frustration caused.

I've ran a couple of tests over the service today and can see there is a fault detected, however, we need to narrow down where in the connection this is. For testing purposes please can you through our troubleshooting guides here

 

If that doesn't help, the next thing would be to rule your internal wiring out by plugging the connection into your test socket (which is under the faceplate of your master socket) and seeing if the drops stop.

This rules out your internal wiring, face plates and extension sockets as being the cause of these drops.

 

How to locate the test socket and set your connection into it can be found here.

If the problem still persists, please can you raise a fault here  and let us know once this has been done?

 

Thanks.
