Re: dropouts a lot over last few days

It seems to be a line fault again.

I have got no dial tone at all now on my landline.

I have just tested at the master socket with an analogue phone.

no connection and at.

internet still works when it is connected, speeds seem okay.

Re: dropouts a lot over last few days

The fault is different today, I have got a phone connection again,

but the internet speed is down a bit, although it seems stable.

We did have snow the other day when the faults seemed to first appear. 

it is dry today.

so will wait and see if they can find the fault on Monday.

Re: dropouts a lot over last few days

@vfr750 How far down? If the phone fault is repaired, the internet connection should improve. What router are you using?

Re: dropouts a lot over last few days

the speeds have dropped from 37 to 30 on download  and  9 to 8 on upload

I have a BT hub 6

I have had similar line faults in the past, always been a bad line,

mostly where it goes through some trees.

Thanks. I don't know the BT Hub6, but does it have page showing similar details to the below picture?

Cheers for that - I assume you are on an 40/10 profile? IF not, something is seriously wrong.
