Broadband speeds steadily decreasing

Hi all, 

I've had a Fibre Plus package for about 9 years now, but over the years it has been getting considerably slower. I had a powercut two days ago, so not sure if DLM is at play here. Also I noticed a neighbour had FTTP installed in the last few days, so wondering if crosstalk could be an issue too? Unless I'm understanding this wrong, if I was still syncing, downstream noise should be around 3dB? I will be checking for static on the line and using the test socket today or tomorrow and will update accordingly as I have only just stumbled across the post by Ray.

Would you say this is worth someone investigating?

 

System Uptime is: 02:21:49

When the service was activated, I was somehow getting 90mbps in a relatively built up area. I would say upload has relatively stayed the same though.

Thanks.

Hi @MitchRF 

Welcome to the community.

I'm sure @XRaySpeX would be interested in helping with this. Our broadband technical support team would be able to help too.

I'm waiting to hear the result of checking for noise on the line at the test socket.

Hi, thanks for reply. I have just tested the line and there is an increase in static noise compared to a normal call. I tested this back to back.

As there is some noise, report it to your landline provider as a voice fault (don't mention Broadband). Often sorting out voice faults will fix the Broadband as well.

Reboot the router & plug it into the test socket. Post the full router stats & System Uptime when plugged into test socket.

Thanks. Do you want this after I have reported a voice fault or before?

No time like the present.
