Broadband Speed

Nobleicam — Sun, 07 Jun 2020 13:37:46 GMT

Why is my Broadband only giving me 9-12Mb download speed. I can't even watch BT Ultimate Channel and Subscription Channels signal scrambles and cuts out intermittently. I have BT Infinity Fibre 2 Unlimited. Even the Speed Checker doesn't always work. Says no problems in the area for all services !!!. Not getting even close to what I am paying for. Unplugged cables/restarted/factory resets - all do nothing to solve SLOW SPEEDS. No-one manning the phones & online helper is useless. Help....

in order for the forum members to help please can you post the stats from your router (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser) and if HH5 then go to troubleshooting then helpdesk and if HH6/SH2 then advanced settings then technical log information .

Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

can you run btdspeedtester with ethernet connection and post results

when you say quiet line test seems ok it needs to be silent - no hiss, crackle, static etc

hub stats?

have you just moved your connection as checker shows speed today at 22mb but stats not show it at 43mb

any line noise on quiet line test is a problem and needs reported as phone fault to 151

the btspeedtester results are wrong and looks like it is still not working correctly

Haven't moved anything. Did a Speed Test from my phone and shows this:

the hub stats show connection time of only 28min so something changed

using your phone and running test with wireless will basically give different result depending on where in your home and the interference only acceptable test is using ethernet connection

This problem has been ongoing for about a week. I used to get around 49Mb. Which department is best to call about this. I get fed up with the 'Factory Reset' option with my Ultra HD Box as this just ends up losing all my recordings and leaves me with same issue. Thanks, for all your help, Ian...

Hmmm, those speed test results on your phone seem to be pointing towards a potential issue as it states you're not getting the speeds expected to the hub

Re: Broadband Speed

imjolly — Sun, 07 Jun 2020 15:02:36 GMT

according to dslchecker your range is 50/33mb and currently you are getting 43mb with an attainable of 45mb so well within expected range.

if you are dropping connection often and have noise on your line then report a phone fault to 151

Re: Broadband Speed

Nobleicam — Sun, 07 Jun 2020 15:13:02 GMT

Okay, will call 151. I found a ethernet cable and connected to my Hub & Computer. Did that test and it showed:

Sorry, this is all I can show. If you say I'm getting 43Mb, why is the ethernet data now at 28Mb. Anyway, last post - Thanks again...
