Slow broadband

Having issues with fibre speeds.

Apparently there was a fault on the 11-06-20 and it was fixed but been having speed issues since and now mj quinn have been working in the area on behalf of openreach to install ultrafast rhe speeds have dropped even more

Was getting 18-19Mbps

Then 14-15Mbps

Now 10Mbps if I'm lucky mostly around the 5-7Mbps

Is there a line reset that can be done.

Cheers in advance.

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods

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

enter your phone number and post results remember to delete number https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL

Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

I currently use a Asus ac68u as it had better WiFi and able to use the USB for network storage as well.

What about quiet line test?

your stats don't show internet connection time. Have you been having connection problem with hub losing connection or have you been resetting hub to try and improve your speed or a combination of both?

Quiet line test was fine as far as I could tell just a very faint fussy static.

It's on 24 hours as I did reset it yesterday because I only had 0.5Mbps down I took this being down to the work carried out on or near the lines, once back on speeds went back to 10Mbps but before that was about 2 weeks ago due to decorating.

Do you regularly check internet connection time which is totally different to system uptime as your stats suggest connection problems

any line noise is a problem and if quiet line test is not silent then you need to report a phone fault to 151
