Slow Sync Speed help ?

marrax — Mon, 02 Aug 2021 11:06:46 GMT

Hi all

I've noticed my BT Fiber1 package has dropped in the last 2-3 weeks. I don't know when it happened exactly, but I just noticed a slow down in general so checked my HH5 connection and its now connected at 27Mbps, before(last few months) it was between 38 and 36Mbps.

I raised a fault online and a BT engineer came to look at my internal setup, tested , face place, wiring, master socket,etc . He could not find a fault internal. He said the fault would get passed to Openreach for them to check the line outside the house. After he left I got and email/Text saying my fault had been fixed and closed even though it wasn't.

I tried the BT website online chat today , but after 20 mins its still spinning...

So I thought I'd try this forum. I think I need a line / profile reset but hoping someone on here can help ?

Many Thanks

Andy

The connection time reset is due to me/engineer resetting router.

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

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

Your connection time is only 1+ day so have you been having connection problems with hub dropping Internet connection or maybe some manual resets trying to see if speed improves or maybe a combination of both?

The connection time being only +1 days is the reset due to me/engineer resetting router Fri/Sat just gone .

I didn't notice any drops about 2-3 weeks ago, but that's not to say they never happened.

I will have reset the router maybe 4-5 times over the last 2 weeks , I was trying to see if router would sync back at the usual rate.

I think you are now in a banded profile due to connection dropping and not helped with the numerous resets you now need to maintain a stable connection and your speed should improve when DLM removes the banding this could take maybe 4 weeks
