speed dropped and pings raised

hi folks since the bad weather my speeds have dropped nearlly 15 meg over night and my pings have increased from 1 to 22 ms

 

current stats

6. Data Rate: 20000 / 64229

7. Maximum Data Rate: 20826 / 79292

8. Noise Margin: 6.5 / 6.2

9. Line Attenuation: 17.0 / 14.1

 

when i turn router off and on it just comes back up at 64 meg

i usually get the full 80 or 76 meg

im sure dlm has kicked in now but why has the weather changed this so much ?

thanks folks

been with plusnet ages now

Re: speed dropped and pings raised

Hi there, 

 

It may be that there's an issue with a joint somewhere in the line where water ingress might be having an effect. 

 

Assuming that you have a phone handset plugged in do you hear any noise?
