Hi @PeterY1 sorry about the delay getting back to you, I'm chasing an update with our suppliers and I should know more by tomorrow.
My tests show the errors are quite bad on the upstream so I am making an adjustment on that to try and help the connection stability.
Hi @PeterY1 BT wholesale are escalating this case with Openreach as they haven't provided an update as to what they done last week with the cherry picker. As soon as I know more I'll give you a call.
Hi @PeterY1 I haven't forgotten about you. I'm still in touch with the escalations team with BT Wholesale pushing for a resolution on this.
BT Smarthub arrived. Unfortunately no difference in upload speed.

Hi @PeterY1 No I'll book that as per our chat the other day, our tests are picking up a fault again. I'll confirm the visit shortly once it's booked.
Hi @PeterY1 I've booked Friday AM.
Hi @PeterY1 I can see that the engineer has put in a request to get the drop wire replaced which will need traffic lights again and I'm due further updates from them towards the end of the week.
Hi Neil,
Openreach came on Friday 8 March and strung a dedicated 200-250m line from my house socket to the point where it goes underground. It may have slightly improved download speeds but I have not dedected any improvement with the primary upload speed issue.
What has not been tried yet is a port swap at the cabinet incase something is faulty there. I also wonder if I am being capped on the upload. When I do a speedtest the needle always flicks up to 5Mb/s before dropping. I once got provisioned on a capped service before and saw the same thing during speedtests (albeit on the download).
Over to you for though for next steps!
Cheers
Pete
