Bad connection and dropping out

Go to solution

Having issue with speed and dropping out... 

At resets and tests I am getting this message. 

"Your hub could be in sync with the exchange or cabinet, but not connecting to the gateway. If there's no PPP session it's likely to be a problem with our network."

Can I assume this is a exchange issue and nothing more I can do 

Many thanks in advance

Bad connection

Go to solution

Broadband keeps dropping out or speed drops extremely low. Have do all the usual tests and resets but keep getting this message.... 

Your hub could be in sync with the exchange or cabinet, but not connecting to the gateway. If there's no PPP session it's likely to be a problem with our network.

Is this something that is common and I assume it's an exchange issue and nothing I can remedy at home?

Many things in advance for any insight

Hello @Stevebyrne1

Welcome to the community.

I'd recommend speaking with our technical care team who can talk you through the process and advise you if an exchange would be required. 

Please be sure to keep us updated following your call.

They won’t contact you, you need contact them to initiate the fault report.

Oh OK, I was just going on what the message was after I had tried to reset the router and OPB  ()optical terminal box). that you would be in contact after 24 hours. Why have that on a message if they don't intent to follow up?... 

Thank you for the heads up  I will contact them an log the fault

Steve.

I have been in dispute with BT since July 2023, because of intermittent drops in connectivity, which weren't officially diagnosed as a "Stale PPP Session Fault", until November 2023. By that stage, BT had placed my complaint in "Deadlock", effectively leaving me with no voice, whilst denying culpability, for a known service issue. BT have continued to assert that as the incoming signal to the ONT is effectively infallible, my own problem must be internal and I was not allowed to terminate my contract, unless I paid an extortionate exit fee. Over the intervening period, it became obvious to me, that BT's own remote monitoring mechanisms, were unable to detect a momentary drop in the incoming light signal to the ONT, even if it kicked out the Hub. Therefore and from my personal perspective, it would appear that modifications must now have been made, as the "PPP" fault is finally being formally recorded. However, I suspect that BT are no nearer to resolving this specific issue and in the meantime, continue to confuse all those customers effected, by falsely promising to follow up their fault report, after 24 hours. Intriguingly, this continued incompetence, may now have left the door open, for customers to claim compensation. Food for thought.

I am so sorry to hear of your frustration with regards BT. I feel sometimes that they think people complain for the sake of complaining which in most incidents is not the case as we all have better things to do with our lives then waste precious time writing emails etc.

I hear your frustration and coming from an engineering background we were taught to fault find,  list all the possible things it could be, eliminate each one that it's not and you are left with the faulty component or card simple logic. BT in my experience are sometimes stuck in this closed loop testing the same things over and over again. I know it's a cliché but they need to think outside the box sometimes and give people credit for experiencing the problem first hand.
