Fault Tracker - Why did it LIE??

"Fault fixed

You have told us that your fault was fixed"

OH NO I DID NOT!!

At no point did I ever tell BT that the fault was fixed. The fault still exists.

I have tried to contact BT several times but each time after waiting on hold for ages, listening to that aweful music, I gave up.

My upload speed is around 5Mbs.  It has suddenly dropped from 9Mbs which it has been since I signed up several years ago.  When I logged the fault they ran tests and said it was 9Mbs to the hub. I connected my PC directly to the hub with a cable and it's still around 5Mbs or less. How is that possible?  It can only be a fault in the hub, surely??

I can't work with this!

Re: Fault Tracker - Why did it LIE??

This is a ustimer community forum and your post does not go to BT

 what connection speeds down/up does it show in the hub stats? Can you post stats?

When you say you cannotwork  with this is this a business connection not residential?

No offense meant, but 9Mb/s and 5Mb/s.   Are you sure that's correct?

That's extremely slow in both cases, so I'm surprised you notice any difference.

Re: Fault Tracker - Why did it LIE??

Faults are closed without the customer requesting the closure all the time , and although  it may say ‘you’ advised the fault was fixed that’s not always true …in this case chances are Openreach closed the fault themselves , after examining your service stats (upload, download sync rate , system uptime etc ) , upload speed has no guaranteed minimum, if your line is working , then OR visiting your home serves no purpose, and as stated , 9Mb or 5Mb is of no consequence to OR , as it’s not subject to a minimum like download …..what is it you do that 9Mb is satisfactory but 5Mb isn’t …if its business related , that’s also of no consequence on a residential tariff.


As requested, post your router connection statistics, that will show the upload sync rate of your router , presumably you measured upload speed is from a speed tester site which isn’t necessarily a reliable measure,

Re: Fault Tracker - Why did it LIE??

You don't say what your download speed is. Has that also suddenly dropped, or has it remained constant?
