Broadband Speed

Why is my Broadband only giving me 9-12Mb download speed.  I can't even watch BT Ultimate Channel and Subscription Channels signal scrambles and cuts out intermittently.  I have BT Infinity Fibre 2 Unlimited.  Even the Speed Checker doesn't always work.  Says no problems in the area for all services !!!.  Not getting even close to what I am paying for.  Unplugged cables/restarted/factory resets - all do nothing to solve SLOW SPEEDS.  No-one manning the phones & online helper is useless.  Help....

Re: Broadband Speed

in order for the forum members to help please can you post the stats from your router (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser) and if  HH5 then go to troubleshooting then helpdesk and if HH6/SH2 then advanced settings then technical log information . 

Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

can you run btdspeedtester with ethernet connection and post results

Re: Broadband Speed

when you say quiet line test seems ok it needs to be silent - no hiss, crackle, static etc

hub stats?

Re: Broadband Speed

have you just moved your connection as checker shows speed today at 22mb but stats not show it at 43mb

any line noise on quiet line test is a problem and needs reported as phone fault to 151

the btspeedtester results are wrong and looks like it is still not working correctly

Re: Broadband Speed

the hub stats show connection time of only 28min so something changed

using your phone and running test with wireless will basically give different result depending on where in your home and the interference   only acceptable test is using ethernet connection

Re: Broadband Speed

This problem has been ongoing for about a week. I used to get around 49Mb. Which department is best to call about this. I get fed up with the 'Factory Reset' option with my Ultra HD Box as this just ends up losing all my recordings and leaves me with same issue. Thanks, for all your help, Ian...
