Strange problem with broadband. Speed very low.

[crispy_roll]

Hi all,

From last Friday I encountered really big problems with my broadband as the speed go dramatically down. I don't know what may be the reason, I'm using HomeHub and between it and computers in my household everything is fine. I haven't heard about any fixes round Aberdeen so have completely no clue what is going on. 

Do you have any clue what can cause the problem, for more than 3 years everything was just great. Maybe my HomeHub is old and faulty, it is the 1st gen, white one.

I post speedtest results and ADSL info:

 Download speedachieved during the test was - 134 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 4000-21000 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :18761 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 888 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 16000 Kbps
The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 0.0:75.22:25.5 (SBE:NBEBE)
These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic.

The results of this test will vary depending on the way your ISP has decided to use these traffic classes. 

Upload speed achieved during the test was - 692 Kbps
 Additional Information:
 Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 888 Kbps

this is a public forum I would suggest you delete your phone number before you get some unwanted calls.  remember thsi may also appear on a google search

I'm pretty concerned about this line:

Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]:

11.5 / 0.0

Aren't those values too low?

They are fine no problems

Update. No improvement at all. I'll try to contact with mods and see what they say.

Hiya Crispy, Can i ask you to goto this link below and in there make sure to include a link to this post so the mods can read over and then order your line to be fixed.

Goto:  http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

Link to this Post: http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/Strange-problem-with-broadband-Speed-very-low

Your Line Stats look fine Line Atten is good your close to the exchange your on and your SNR is also fine on the download, In your post can you also ask to have your SNR reset as your upload SNR is 15db it should be around 6db.  It seems like your speed is just stuck and is a minor fix for the MODS.

Once you post on the GOTO link i gave you please allow 48 hours for the Mods to get to you.

Kindest Regards

Update.

First, do you always get reply from MODS? Today my connection dropped and after a while it was on again, I found my SN Margin reset to 6.5 and better bandwith 1205 / 19832 but the speed didn't improve at all. It is 24h since I've sent notice to MODS and I will wait another 24h before contacting them again. What really worries me is FEC Errors field in my ADSL Line details. Last time after 4 days it was 245'000, now after 6 hours I have more than 750'000. Is that normal after connection drop? I've checked speed using this speedcheck provided and my profile is still the same, 16000kbs

UPDATE:: 40 minutes past, 35 MB more dowloaded and 100'000 FEC Errors more :/ 

I paste details below:
