Thanks for getting back to us @pharrison1984 

No problem. I've changed the appointment date next Wednesday afternoon.

Let us know how it goes.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: Master Socket issues and speed tests

An update. Had the visit from Vishal today at Openreach. He's moved the master socket and fitted a new faceplate and tidied unnecessary additional wiring. Results admittedly not as hoped. Upload speeds now much higher than before at 7mbps as opposed to 3.5, and latency a lot lower, but download speed still around the 30mbps mark - lower than the minimum speed I was told I should be getting at outset and only marginally faster than previous (in fact slower than when I was plugged into the service line). Vishal said he was now happy with all the wiring, so seemingly that's the best I'm going to do? Anoush are you able to run the line tests again? It's now looking like we're moving house in February and so I'll cope with it as it is.

I'm glad to see that the engineer has tidied things up for you and managed to improve your upload speed. Line tests are passing now, but your download speed as you've said is still definitely below where we'd expect.

It's up to you how you'd want to proceed at this point, we can either arrange another engineer escalating this with our suppliers specifically requesting a multi-skilled engineer to carry out all quality checks and a thorough investigation. 

Or again as you've said you can live with it until you move house and hopefully your broadband in your new house fares better. Feel free to let me know if you'd want us to arrange another engineer and we'll be happy to.
