TV channel issues since upgrade from Full Fibre 150 to FF900

While we were with BT on the lower speed we had no issues and the same applies to EE while we were using the BT equipment. within the last three weeks our TV channels have started dropping out intermittently - pixelation and loss of sound, sometimes complete drop out with advice screen and error code 6023. I have been on the phone to the tech department at least three times and consequently I'm on my third EE Pro7 router. The problem persists. According to "Fast" my download speed to my desktop, connected via ethernet, is 1.3Gbps while my laptop, connected via wifi, is currently getting 76Mbps ( yesterday it was getting 240Mbps and the physical relationship between router and laptop has not changed! ) I have carried out a number of procedures, including disconnecting ethernet, re-booting boxes and router. I have tried to use the EE app to check my setup and this gives varying responses which have been less than useful. I have become frustrated and exasperated trying to deal with this situation over the phone and tried to request an engineer visit which was refused. However, I don't know how useful this would be as the last two visits were not really product due to varying levels of technical nous. Hopefully somebody on here can make some sensible suggestion!

Hi @TheBodger 

Welcome to the community.

It sounds like you've tried most of the steps we'd usually recommend here. You've done the right thing in speaking with our technical support team. They run through diagnostic tests to try and get to the bottom of the problem. 

If you're not happy with the way things are progressing through that route, I recommend messaging our complaints team. They will look into how it has been handled and give you a call to discuss it further.

I've been having drop out issues with my TV channels and connection problems with my laptop. My system contains a number of Devolo components which are still broadcasting my old BT SSid. Could this be the problem? Irun some tests with only the 5GHz connecting and the channel dropout persists. I finally resolved my laptop problem by "forgetting" it's wifi adapter. My Android phones also seem to get booted out occasionally as well.

I have been in touch with tech support and we went through lots of things including rebooting the white fibre modem, EE TV master box and Pro7 router. The system seemed to stabilise and a call back was arranged for Sunday. Unfortunately the problem with terrestrial channels has reappeared a few moments ago with the c6023 error code and my wife is so frustrated that she has asked if we can get a BT router and wifi extenders back. The problem with my laptop losing internet while connected to the router by wifi has also reappeared. We really need an engineer visit from somebody with a good knowledge of hybrid networks. I don't want cables trailing all over the house so set ethernet over the mains using Devolo components which fine with the BT home hub. In fact there is still a "ghost" network from that hub still in my system.

This morning my devices are "failing to get an IP address". EE WIFI which open is available and connects immediately, however it requires a log in which fails with "Sorry, something went wrong at our end. Please try again later." I'm now getting really p**sed off and wishing I'd never upgraded!

Hi @TheBodger,

Thanks for coming to the Community!

If you've noticed a deterioration in your service since you last spoke with us then I'd recommend reaching back out to the team, and they'll be able to see if there is anything more we can do to get things back on track.

I'm awaiting a call from the tech team tomorrow between 10 and 11 am. Let's see what happens then and I'll get back to you. resolving this issue is taking up far too much of my time. I'm no networking expert which is why I have requested an engineer visit already.

Hi there @TheBodger 

Thanks for coming back to us. 

You've done the right thing reporting this to our tech guides to get looked into. Please let us know how you get after the call back.

Leanne.

Well, my call back, supposedly set between 10 and 11 am this morning still hasn't materialised. Needless to say, I am singularly un-impressed. On a more positive note, my terrestrial TV channels seem to have stabilised so I'm going to see what happens going forward.
