Fibre 2 and stuck on 55/10 line , losing the will to live!

RodGrover — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 13:48:55 GMT

Hi , I have recently rejoined from Vodafone as their customer service was horrendous…..I am now paying for a fibre 2 package but stuck on 55/10 line profile , I have had an engineer out to confirm who told me I had to contact but to change me to the product I am paying for.

6 hours on the phone with complete scripted run around , Saturday I made another call to BT as a last ditch before cancelling , she was very helpful and said she understood and her colleague would swap me over sat pm , she is calling me a Tuesday to make sure I am happy with the switch. Guess what nothing has happened again!

can a mod help please ??

thanks

@RodGrover

Check to see what is actually available to your house, as you line may not support a higher speed.

Please edit out your phone number before you post the result, but leave the exchange name and cabinet number showing.

The exchange is not in a current fibre priority programme

WLR is currently available at the exchange

SOADSL is restricted at the exchange

FTTP is not available.

For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (VDSL or G.fast) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage.

Actual speeds experienced by end users and quoted by CPs will be lower due to a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises.

The Stop Sale date for IPstream is from 18 Apr 2018.

In order to be eligible for handback, downstream speed should be less than Downstream Handback Threshold values.

If you decide to place an order for a WBC fibre product, an appointment may be required for an engineer to visit the end user's premises to supply the service

Mildenhall exchange:Only single order products are available and ADSL and ADSL2+ products are not shown as available.However for premises that can only be served by SOADSL, BT will continue to accept ADSL and ADSL2+ orders until SOADSL is available.

Thank you for your interest

Possibly a poor quality line, or an internal wiring issue. Its below the handback speed so you need to report it as a fault. If you were on the wrong profile, the noise margin would be higher.

Internal wiring may be an issue.

What does your master phone socket look like?

RodGrover — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 18:12:32 GMT

Hi number 7 , I had a new line put in a year or so ago , I am just on the wrong line profile , but engineer confirmed I was on 55/10

Re: Fibre 2 and stuck on 55/10 line , losing the will to live!

RodGrover — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 18:19:37 GMT

Also engineer said I was on the wrong profile should be 80/20 ? BT also confirmed I was in n 55/10 but didn’t understand what I was talking about , very frustrating but thank you for looking into

Re: Fibre 2 and stuck on 55/10 line , losing the will to live!

imjolly — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 18:23:40 GMT

Regardless of which profile whether fibre 1 or 2 it will not affect the attainable speed only the actual connection speed so your line currently is getting as fast as possible . As dslchecker suggests your line may be able to get faster but that assumes there are no line problems

Are you connected to master socket? Have you tried one thing to test so let with a filter and see if that improves speed

Re: Fibre 2 and stuck on 55/10 line , losing the will to live!

RodGrover — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 18:26:58 GMT

I haven’t tried with a filter , engineer on Wednesday confirmed no fault but wrong profile. Yes I am connected to the master socket. Internet is working fine but 9 mb upload is capped due to the 55/10 line I have been put on? That’s what the engineer said.

Re: Fibre 2 and stuck on 55/10 line , losing the will to live!

imjolly — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 18:38:32 GMT

I agree that looks like on 55/10mb but as I already posted your attainable speed shown on your hub is best your line can get regardless of the package/profile you are on and it is only showing 48/49mb

Re: Fibre 2 and stuck on 55/10 line , losing the will to live!

RodGrover — Sun, 24 Jul 2022 18:46:57 GMT

So I suppose the question is why did by accept my order for fibre 2 and why is the upload capped at 9 mb whilst for the las 4 years I have enjoyed 17 ?

why have I been offered fibre 2 at more money than fibre 1 and only get fibre 1 ?

i M paying for fibre 2 , the but site still shows available to me etc … the whole situation is more frustrating than being with Vodafone.

sky is saying minimum speed 52 with 17/18 upload on my address/ line ? That’s what I gOt per this BTEpisode

I have asked a moderator to take a look, now you have all the results.

I would suspect an impacted line.

Hi @RodGrover, sorry you're not getting the connection speed you're expecting.

I've sent you a Private Message so you we can look into this further and fix this for you.
