First call ME - Hello I’m having poor speeds
PN Reply - keep you router on for 3 days it should improve
Second call ME - Still having poor speeds
PN Reply - Do some line tests
Third call ME - Done line tests (changed filter) (only left ADSL on, took phone line out)
PN Reply - You now need to raise a fault and wait 48 hours
Fourth call ME - Hi i have waited 48 hours still poor speeds
PN Reply - You need to leave it for 72 hours (I was told 48??)
Checked online - no one seems to have replied to my fault
Fifth call ME – It’s been 72 hours still no change, can you progress my fault please?
PN Reply - Sir we have noticed you keep switching your router off
My reply - I haven’t its been on for the past 72 hours
PN Reply - Yes but we have noticed it’s been switched off several times within a day including a switch off at 4AM!!
My reply - So you’re saying i wake up at 4AM, go down stairs and switch it off then back on again? I'm bloody asleep!!
PN Reply - Sorry sir this now seems to be a fault with the line dropping out an your profile is set wrong........ Go figure!
After all of this I'm still getting poor speeds. I am meant to be getting 4 - 5 mbps...

You do seem to have a dropping connection, but your profile seems ok just now.
Can you post the results of a BT speedtest please?

Try changing your ISP as well.
(It seems to be the best solution)

Come on david! play fair
Yes you have had issues and i am sure it was a nightmare, but there are also plenty of us that have not had issues.
There are also plently of people that change provider only to suffer the same issues again.
