Hi,
My PN profile reads at 73.4 and I have been getting close to this for over a year now. Today my connection dropped and I was forced to reboot my modem and router. Since then, all speed tests show me at 59-60 but my PN profile still showm me at 73.4
Any ideas?
Additionally, I had to register a new username on this forum because it would not accept the password for my previous one. I tried the forgot password link but never get an email through. Can one of the CS Reps help with this please?
Regards

Hi there,
Unless you have done so already can you try connecting to the router via ethernet so we can rule out WiFi as a potential cause?
If/once you have and this is still an issue it would be worth following the troubleshooting steps here:

Let us know how you get on and I'll follow things up with you.

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the response. I am always hardwired into the router. Have also completed the troubleshooter.

Could you drop me a PM with your old username and the email address you believe this was registered on. Thanks.

Hi there,
I'm actually going to go against what Adam has said here I'm afraid.
As you are connecting within the estimate range (although at the very bottom), this isn't a broadband fault and if we booked an engineer to come visit you, this would most likely result in a charge as they would advise the line is performing within expectations.

How's the phone line itself? Is there any noise, hiss, crackles etc when you plug in a handset and dial 17070 running the quiet line test?

Hi Chris,
Firstly quiet line test was good.
Now, I appreciate that a line needs to be drawn on what is and is not a fault and that you will have clearly defined tolerance factors on defining this. My issue is that I have been happily enjoying over 70 Mbps since December 2013. My line drops and right after I'm on a lower profile.
I'm not suggesting that this is what happened but if an engineer was the the cabinet when this happened and the drop is due to work the he/she carried out, I fail to see how this is my fault or why I should accept the slower speed I am currently getting.
This is an almost 13% reduction in speed and I'm curious as to what your acceptable estimate range is for an 80/20 connection.
If you'd prefer to talk about this over the phone, fell free to call me at anytime on my daytime number.
Regards

We don't provide estimates for an 80/20 or 40/2 connection, we provide the estimate for the line, which for your line is:

Ok, so the estimate for my line is between 80 and 66, is that correct?

Yes your estimate is between 66Mb and 80Mb therefore If your BTW profile is 63.87 then your under the estimate I'm not sure why Chris is saying different.

The chart Chris shared refers to "Synch" speeds, not speed tests, which can vary with traffic on the network. As the OP is synching at the lower limit, if OR were to come out Chris is advising that charges may apply.
That said, it would be worth following the troubleshooting guides, and plugging the router directly into the test socket to ensure there are no local issues slowing things down.

hmm I thought what the OP posted was the BTW IP profile result therefore the Sync to the Cab in which it would be under the estimate, if it's just a speed test result then yeah that wouldn't count can the OP clarify is that a speed test result or a BTW profile result

Download speedachieved during the test was - 60.92 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 40 Mbps-63.77 Mbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is - 63.77 Mbps
My IP profile before I got a dropped connection the other day was 73.4
My current download speed (done on BTW and speedtest) is between 59 and 61. Before the disconnect it was between 70 and 72, very rarely even 73
Also, my faceplate does not have a test socket.
So am I or am I not below the estimate range?
