I have a long running issue with my broadband and have had probably 6 engineer visits this year.
We are currently getting 8mb download and paying for the maximum we can get.
Today's engineer tells me the speed is being halved out of the cabinet, it reaches our street after that half to give 30 but drops to 20 as it comes into the house. Out of the modem it's 8mb. He says we may need a new fibre cable, us and everyone else in that cabinet I guess. I am beyond desperate for a solution. Does anyone have experience of this kind of issue please?
Could you post the connection stats from the hub.

Engineer was talking total nonsense and has failed to fix your line problem. You need to get another engineer visit
It's nothing to do with the fibre, it's the copper pair to your house causing the problem. Is there any noise on your line when you carry out a quiet line test on 17070
Until the noise problem is fixed your speed won't improve.
Hi @jollysvn,
Welcome to the community and thank you for posting. I'm sorry to read about the problems you have with your connection. If you can hear clicking when using the phone, then this would indicate a fault with the telephone service.
This would definitely have an impact on the Broadband side of your service. If you send me in your details, I'll be able to take a look at what is happening with that fault.
I have sent you a private message with instructions on how to contact me. You can access your messages via the envelope icon at the top right of the screen, or click on this link, Private messages
Thanks
