Re: weird speed results

Looks like your connection is in sync at 42Mbps down and 20Mbps up.
Testing the line has also come back with the following result:

Voice fault suspected - contact Voice CP to progress copper issue

We'd need you to contact your phone provider to investigate the line fault. When contacting the phone provider it's best to not mention broadband as they may send you back to us, despite the test advising the phone provider to raise the matter.

Re: weird speed results

Been in touch with BT, difficult as it turns out I actually have no phone service (problem with the line), they're sending an engineer on 01/04, too much of a coincidence to think that it's anything else but a wiring problem at the cabinet, after all there were only three engineers there doing the work Smiley

Re: weird speed results

Hopefully your speed bounces back shortly after that's fixed, but if not please do let us know so we can look in to it further
