Where do i go now with my new contract

[Lloydy1]

So, 

Back in 2019 i started to get broadband dropping about twice a month, has been steadily increasing so in march i complained and so far:

5 appointments and only 1 actually knocked the door.

That technician that did call said there are no problems inside home.

Everytime i check my fault tracker it says engineer visit completed.

Checked my speed back in march and averaging 38mps download and 16 upload.

Have checked it numerous times especially after visits and roughly the same speeds.

I am on fibre2

So 4 technicians on 4 visits have NOT found the problem outside.

My contract is about to run out on 2nd july 

After around 20 phonecalls to BT i get the feeling i am being fobbed off.

I know its a torrid time with this virus but seeing as they have been out 4 times i would have thought they would hve fixed it.

Am i entitled to anything due to my speed being below the gaurenteed 67mps ?

I have had 3 credit payments of £25 put into my account.

Should i move to another provider ?

Any advice would be helpful and anyones experience of this themselves i would like to know.

Thankyou in advance

Unless you can move to virgin then all ISPs use the openreach network so you will have the same connection whichever ISP your choose and therefore the same problems if it is line related

Thats that question cleared up thankyou

@Lloydy1 

If you are willing to do your own "technical support" - a few checks with us, we can probably establish what speed you should be getting.

[Lloydy1]

My gaurnteed speed is 67mbs but averaging 38mbs. Have used about 3 speedcheckers and its roughly the same

[licquorice]

Are you sure your speed is guaranteed at 67Mbs, does your contract email state that or is it because the Average speed for fibre 2 is 67Mbps you think you should be getting 67Mbps?

You can check what MAX speed your line can handle via: https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL

You need to input your phone number, and then post back the results.  Remember to remove your number before posting back.

Cannot do that as it says 'currently have a fault' or similar.
Two BT assistants on phone told me my speed is gaurenteed 67mbs.
Have now been told after calling again last night that there is a cable fault outside somewhere.
