Hi Simon,

Three faults - no wonder the phone line tests were confused / inconclusive!

Sight of your router stats would be useful / interesting please.

Thanks for the update @simoncross 

Awesome, I'm glad to see the engineers picked this up fast and their efforts got your line fixed speedily.

If you'd like to pass on your thanks to them, I'd recommend filling out the form Here on Openreach's website.

With regards to fibre, unfortunately it looks like the relatively slow speed you had on it was due to how long your line is to the cabinet (the green box in the road), I'm in a similar situation living at S11 although my line can a wee bit faster. 

Fingers crossed things change in the not too distant future and FTTP's brought to more areas of Sheffield!

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

As you can see from the 2 screen shots, one from last night (when it was playing up) and one from just now, working normal.  See if you can work out which is which Smiley

Massive improvement all round. Not just better speed and correct SNRM but also much better line attenuation.

One wonders if long-standing d-side issues had impacted FTTC performance?
