Terrible issues trying to get problems fixed

[pippincp]

Have you checked for noise on the line? 17070 option 2 and best with a corded phone.

just did it with cordless phone as do not have a wired one and no noise at all

Just checked hub again ands sync is even less

Downstream sync speed: 22.4 Mbps

Was 25 Mbps yesterday

Gone quiet on here since my post yesterday so I guess I call BT tomorrow as still does not show open fault on my account. Very frustrating but checked and if they don't fix it within 30 days so I get the promised speed I can leave contract with no charges. I like BT as I used to work for them but may have to move on as I work from home 1 day a week and need a working reliable broadband.

Seems to have started after I added plus to my account. New hub for that so I may put the old one back in tomorrow to see if that helps

You can try old hub but if you are dropping connection often then you need to get engineer visit. Without seeing new hub stats I cannot be sure but I think you probably are now in a banded profile hence low speed and high noise margin

Did you read this http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/35296/%7E/your-line-speed-explained

[mgrowe]

Yes I read that and that is why I am aware I can leave if I don't get the promised speed - Thanks

So its a new contract that you have, which is never achieved the minimum line speed you were promised?

Thanks but I am ex BT and an IT professional so I am aware of the sync which is why I did not worry about it at first but if anything the sync has gone dwon after the 10 days. I did book an engineer as per my first post on this and have booked one again but cannot see the fault I raised on my account details/

I did restart the hub a couple of days ago so I will see if that helps and then if te engineer arrives this time

Thanks for your help on this

The noise margin is high, which indicates that DLM has reduced your connection speed due to line instability/error, multiple restarts or disconnections of the home hub. You need to leave everything alone, otherwise it will not recover.

A visit from Openreach is the only answer, as they can test the line, and reset DLM.

This will be free of charge. See https://community.bt.com/t5/Landline/Master-socket/m-p/1747188#M54967

 I updated my existing contract to plus and complete and was promised 38Mb (Which I was almost getting before I changed)

Sent new Smart Hub 2 and a disk which I installed  and since then the speed has dropped to 20Mb and I also have BT mobiles using Wifi calling but sounds like I am under water when I take a call.

Thanks
