Poor second line install

Yesterday i had a second line installed just for fibre 1 broadband

BT had quoted 16Mb dowload , but i get 25Mb with Sky and my neighbours get 23Mb,

This install was done by a sub contractor not Openreach, i had concerns about the line the engineer was going to use and had mentioned this to him , 20 min later he had gone .

Hub powers up and goes blue , i have an appalling  download speed of 11Mps and up 0.8Mps  The engineer has also made my primary line incur severe  errored second faults which has been up to this point stable.

contact BT and they say i have a fault on the new line . they arrange for an engineer to come out today 13th 1pm -6pm , i get a call at 11.15 to say he is at my house , i popped to see him he confirms a fault.

I  had no notification of the fault being repaired & the the fault tracker said the engineer had completed his job, the speed was worse with 9mpb down and up 0.4.

At 7pm today i have no broadband on my new second line and a poor connection on  Primary Sky line.

BT has arranged for an engineer to come out Monday , which would be 5 days after installation

Do i need to contact Sky to check my other line, which has been  upset by the new BT installation ?

 I have 10day of statistics from my modem to show the errors have started in the last 18 hours .

Where do i go from here and what advice can people give me ?

Re: Poor second line install

Enter your BT phone number and post results. Remember delete number. https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL

Check lines for noise dial 17070 option 2 should be silent and best with corded phone

Re: Poor second line install

Can you post hub stats from hub manager then advanced settings then technical log information.

You must have a phone line just no phone package as you need the line to get broadband

Re: Poor second line install

the hub stats don't show any internet connection or dsl connection time

there should also be max data rate, noise margin,attenuation etc

Re: Poor second line install

are you able to connect hub to the test socket with a filter and see if that makes any difference?  is there a dialtone?
