Re: unstable fibre speed

Hello there, 

 

Line tests that I've just been running do pick up on a fault. I can see you started raising one online so the best thing to do is go back to http://faults.plus.net and complete the steps on the troubleshooter. 

 

Let us know when you have and we'll push that forward.

Re: unstable fibre speed

I have made the following observations and deem it unlikely to be a fault on my side, the slow downs and drops are when it is raining outdoors  and when the weather has been dry for over a hour or two the speed and sync go back to normal.

Re: unstable fibre speed

Well the engineer visited yesterday (excellent chap, very knowledgable and professional.) tested equipment and wireing, found a fault on the pole (blue beeds).

System seems to be operating ok now, although I will monitor for another 72 hours to be sure.

Re: unstable fibre speed

That sounds positive, thanks for letting us know. If you can reply when you've had chance to monitor this and confirm it's resolved that would be great.

Re: unstable fibre speed

Sorry for the delayed response.

 

Essentially your line has a high amount of errors which points towards there still being a fault.

I'll update your ticket shortly.
