I've already raised 3 tickets so far about this issue and it keeps re-occurring. I've completed multiple speed checks using the BTW checker on a wired PC, confirmed with a Mac on wifi to be around 27Mbits this is terrible. I'll raise yet another ticket but when is the underlying issue going to be resolved?
I can provide speed graphs from samknows for the last year that shows the timeline of when things occur if required.
Cheers
Richard

Hi Richard.
Going over the fault notes you've raised, it looks like you're experiencing a noisy phone line? I've tested your line and I'm not detecting any issues. If you haven't already, can you try the checks here and let us know if the line's still crackling?
Thanks,
Anoush

Hi mate, thanks for getting back to me. That's my mistake I should have ticked no to noise on the line.
As mentioned in previous calls I've got the BT MK3 Faceplate as fitted by their engineer.

Thanks for your patience Rich.
It's likely we're going to need to arrange an engineer visit to investigate this. I take it you've tried the usual checks, most importantly by plugging the router into the test socket? Explained here.
If so, I'd advise to reply to the fault ticket on your account with your availability for an engineer visit.
I'm off home now, but we'll pick this up for you tomorrow.
I apologise for the inconvenience caused.

I've updated the ticket with options for an engineer visit. I've attached the graph for the last six months showing the downward trend of the speed... (Hopefully the picture attached)
Cheers
Rich

Would you be able to have a look at my line settings please? Since the engineer reset the DLM I seem to be stuck on
Down Stream : 34761Kbps / Up Stream : 2000Kbps |
The Down stream should have popped back up to 39999. On the BT Line Check I should be able to achieve this as it's predicted speed is 49.7Mbps.
Cheers

It looks like it's not a DLM/profile issue...
Profile Name | 0.128M-40M Downstream, Error Protection Off - 0.128M-2M Upstream, Error Protection Off |
It's more of a slow sync problem...
Sync Status | In Sync |
Downstream Speed | 34.8 Mbps |
Upstream Speed | 2.0 Mbps |
The speed is marginally below your estimate of 35mbps, so it's very likely an engineer won't be able to find a fault. However, as it is below the estimate we're happy to send one. Raise a fault to us here if you would like to go ahead.

I'm fed up of this, pretty much bang on 10:30pm, gaming and streaming services like netflix become unusable. Performing a speedtest reveals my speed drops anywhere from 20-30Mb, despite it still giving me a reading around 50Mb which is actually plenty capable for watching a measly video or playing csgo, i get frequent buffering (plex web), drop outs (csgo and rocket league), or vaseline goggles quality downrated videos (netflix).
Christ I'm watching a 480p video file at the moment and its buffering every 10 seconds.

I'll pass on sending an engineer out again.... as they're likely to charge me as there won't be a fault. The line does cope perfectly with 39999 down and 2000 up... Surely as my line has been rock solid now for weeks and weeks DLM should push the speed back up a bit?

Ah my bad.. so in that case how do we correct this? I've just checked and the sync is still at : Down Stream : 34761Kbps / Up Stream : 2000Kbps
If an engineer is the only way forward to resolve this then cool, providing there will be no charge.

If the usual internal checks don't help, then the only way forward would be to arrange an engineer.
As the speed is just fractionally below the estimate, it's possible your line is just performing as expected and there'll be the chance of the fee if an engineer finds there's no fault. On the other hand, the engineer may find something wrong and the speed may increase.

The usual checks won't make any differences I'm afraid. Everytime the engineer comes they don't find a fault, they perform a DLM reset and the line normally returns to 39999 and the modem ( for want of a better word ) syncs at this speed.
