Package Fibre with BT Halo 1

I've had very slow connection speeds for the last few weeks, an average connection speed of 8mb down from an average of 65mb.I raised a fault and was visited by an engineer who check everything and found no problems in the property but replaced the Master Socket to eliminate the socket as the problem as it was over 15 years old. After doing another speed check it was still connecting at 8mb. He told me the fault would now be passed to BT Openreach. I've been following the online tracker but it is giving me conflicting information.

The summery at the top of the page say's Fault Fixed. "You've told us your fault has been fixed, thanks for letting us know" The fault hasn't been fixed and at no point did i tell them it had been. It also gives me an estimated date that the supplier will fix the fault. This date has now passed and there has been no update on the fault tracker.

My question is, do BT think the fault is fixed and will i now have to raise a new fault or do i wait for a new estimated date for the fault to be fixed

Here is the summery

is it a broadband fault or a phone line fault? do you have a dial tone? if so dial 17070 option 2 should be silent and best with corded phone

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 .

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

looks like you need to report a fault again

The most you should get with a cordless phone is a dull background hum. Report a noisy phone line fault not a broadband one.
