Banded connection after line fault repaired - how ...

Hi there,
I hope someone can help. After a recent line fault where we lost the phone line and broadband connection and the subsequent repair of the line fault, our broadband connection has been banded at .25mb
I've read all the other posts concerning this and how leaving everything along for 5 or so days should see an automatic correction of this but after doing exactly that for 5 days, I've done a diagnostic and something appears to have happened 9 hours ago, I think resulting in a reset.
So, am I back to square one? do I have to wait another 5 days an hope the connection remains intact. Will have had this problem for a month by then whereby I'll have been paying for broadband speed with a dial up connection.
Can anyone recommend anything please?
Here are the stats...

Why has my speed dropped
Keith is absolutely correct and his links give good advice ....
However if you get caught in the loop whereby the DLM cannot promote the line profile because your router or hub is still dropping the connection, you have to find out why it is happening.
Even though you had a line fault fixed (supposedly) often the repairs are not 100% reliable, especially if the line has suffered a HR fault, or is subject to spurious burst noise which was not apparent when the BTo engineer left your premises, and he isn't a clairvoyant .... so if it continues to drop the connection, you need to report it back to BT support, and maybe go through the simple diagnostic tests again ... as outlined in Keith's help files.
Sometimes a fix is not forthcoming first time round, and ADSL can be troublesome with intermittent problems.

Check with your internet provider for help. Your modem or router could have been damaged if they did not come on after the outage. If your modem and router look OK all you should have to do is restart your iMac.

Slow Broadband after line fault

Hi,
I really hope i can some advice on here! I've been connected for over 18 months - never had a problem, brilliant BB speed (for my area) and was a happy customer. A fortnight ago my BB connection cut out suddenly but the phone was working ok. So I called 151 and did all the checks to make sure it wasn't my equipment and the line test eventually showed there was a line fault. I was told it would be fixed in due course which was fine.
4 days later the steady blue BB light came back on on my hub (after flashing purple/orange for at least an hour) and since then my speed has been so bad it feels like I'm back on dial up! Downloading is impossible, the connection drops at least 3 times a day and the BB light on my hub goes back to the orange/purple light for long spells.
Everytime I phone the fault line I get told that my line tests OK to wait untill my line 'settles in' again after having the fault. I've left it for over a week now and there has been no improvement at all - My router has been plugged into the test socket directly for the last 48 hours too but that made no change.. I'm sick fed up of being told to 'wait a while' by the indian fault team! I'm hoping for some advice on the state of the line from you guys - is it worth calling back the fault team (again!) and pushing for an engineer call out?
I've done the noise test on 1707070 on a corded phone and there was a few crackles when i tried it the first time - second time seemed ok though.
I've got a Home Hub 3.
The first BT speed test I did came back saying they could not carry out my speed test as the line was slow and it diverted me to another website where I got these results:

Slow Broadband after line fault fixed

Hi,
After a fault was fixed on the line two weeks ago Broadband speed has been incredibly slow - 32kBs at the most (previously it was around 400kBs)
After replacing the microfilter, resetting the router, plugging directly into the test socket I just left it alone but have seen no improvement.
Tried the quiet line test and all seems fine.
Looks like the router disconnected at least once, otherwise the connection time should be longer

Broadband still slow after line fault

Hi there,
Hope you guys can help me out
On saturday 24/11/12 I lost my broadband/phone line the whole lot, i believe due to the rather unpleasent
weather that weekend. I reported the fault, and on saturday 01/12/12 BT reported it as fixed, which was
correct, phone was working and as expected, broadband reconnected but slow.
Before the fault I would get speeds between 2000 - 4000kbps depending on time of day etc.
After the fault it was running at 572kbps and stayed here for a couple of days, although we were getting a lot of disconnects, the last one dropping the speed to 288kbps
I connected my router (its a netgear not a bt home hub) straight to the test socket and has now been stable for 3 days but no increase in speed as of yet.
My only concern is that using the BT speed tester it says the maximum speed for my connection is 0.25mbps??
Do i need to leave it connected for a couple more days? Anything else I need to try first?
Thanks
Stuart

Broadband speed drop since line fault repair

We have recently had a phone line fault fixed but after more than 3 days the broadband speed has been lower than it was during the fault and less than half its original speed.
Pre-line issue downstream was around the 16,500kbps with some drops down to 13,000kbps. The line developed a fault which started causing dc's and the phone line became noise with constant cracking and rustling sounds which turned out to be a damage connector causing water to corrode the cables, during that time when active broadband speeds dropped but while connected gave 9726kbps download and 888kbps upload, the phone line was fixed on friday the 15th of January and the phone line itself is very quiet, better than its been in maybe years, no noise that i can hear at all. However the connection dropped out during the night after the line was fixed and came back at 6652kbps down and 440kbps up, it remained at this speed for atleast 3 days then the router reconnected at 6652kbps down with 888kbps up were it remained until this morning, the router reconnected again at exactly the same speed.
I can understand it dropping originally due to the fault but has had over 72hrs connected but the speed has not increased, infact the speed is slower than with the fault which makes very little sense but i suspect is something to do with the noise margin, I include router and btw reports. Hopefully I can get some help with this.
Thanks
Jon

Slow speed for months after line fault - stable co...

Hi,
A few months ago we had a line fault (trees attacking the cables!). This resulted in the IP profile reducing to try and maintain a stable connection. We are now connecting at 576kbps down and 608kbps up.
The line fault has now been cleared but we were getting ADSL disconnects when the phone rang which was keeping the system from increasing the speed.
This looks as though it is now solved. I have had only 1 disconnect (power cut in the night). in the last 2 weeks. The connection was on for just over 7 days when this happened and has now been on for 4.5days.
Should thre line has started to increased by now? We had a download speed in excess for 2.5mbps before the fault.
Could someone advise? Is the line stuck?
Thanks

Still on slow speed, 11 days after line fault was ...

I reported a line fault which was causing frequent phone line and internet disconnection (frequent as in I would lose connection completely for 3 or 4 hours a day, usually at night time - both phone and internet were affected), I reported the problem on 30th June.
I received a text from BT telling me that they had detected a fault and that it would be fixed by 3rd July.
However, it is now the 14th of July, and I am stuck on a download speed of 14 Mbps, and an upload speed of less than 1 Mbps.
Prior to reporting the fault, I had 50 Mbps download speed (my upload speed was still slow, and the BT Openreach engineer who installed Infinity advised me to report a fault as he felt it likely that there was a problem either in the cabinet, or between exchange and cabinet).
The current situation is unacceptable to me, please advise - I will happily post up any information from tests once I know what info is needed to sort this out! Many thanks.

Banded profile after line trouble after 3 days

Hi, I had some line trouble over a week ago and needed a BT engineer to come and fix the dead line. This was duly sorted and I found when I connected for the first time after this my down speed was 288Kbps and up was 1024Kbps which I understand is a banded profile because of the connection trouble. I waited for over 3 days and there was no improvement so I disconnected and tried again and my down speed went up to 576 Kbps. Now I have waited another 3 1/2 days and its still the same, I dont want to disconnect again as this could mess up getting this banding removed, do I have to do anyhting else to get my connection back to normal or just wait?
Thanks in advance

Hi it can take up to 5 days continuous connection for the banding to lift can you please post your hubstats and the full diagnostic bt speed test but do not restart the hub as the instructions ask

Loss of broadband speed after line fault

We have just experienced another of our all too frequent faults on the telephone line. This has now been fixed (OpenReach repaired a couple of joints in our line) or, at least the crackling that was on the line is no longer detectable using quiet line test.
The broadband speed is now at a crawl - see summary router stats below. (router is a NetGear DGND3300). Until the problems downstream speed was about 12Mbit and upstream 0.6Mb ; noise margin was around 6db.
When we have had problems in the past the speed has always recovered within a few hours, on this occasion the speed, noise margin and attenuation haven't budged for 24+ hours. A few questions:-
1. I know that one is advised to wait up to 3 days, but should I expect a gradual improvement over this time or might it suddenly get better? (or have we still got a fault?)
2. Our exchange has been upgraded to ADSL2 since the last time we've had a fault; could this effect the way the line recovers (or not as the case may be!)?
3. The modem is not connected to the master socket at the moment. Although I doubt if this is the source of the problem; I'm tempted to do this. However this would entail disconnecting it - would the 3 day period start all over again?!

Very slow broadband speed following line fault

Having recently had a noisy line fault repaired I have been left with broadband that is running at a very slow speed. Having read several other posts on this forum it seems that my IP profile needs resetting in the local exchange. I am reluctant to try to explain my problem to someone in India (because I can envisage a rather lengthy call which could possibly be to no avail) so can anybody tell me if there is an alternative way to reset my IP profile.
BT's speed test results were as follows:
Download speed: 680Kbs
DSL connection rate: 2464Kbs (downstream) 448Kbs (upstream)
IP Profile: 750Kbs
Any help would be useful,

I think you'll be stuck with the former though.
Tom,
As I have posted above, we have not even seen Jim's line stats. This would make it impossible to try and establish what is actually occurring with the line and connection.
I thought about that straight after posting (actually meant to put that bit in my op ) and then spotted your post when I was going to edit my own. Was too quick on the keyboard there after watching a rather entertaining Fullham vs Chelsea match on my lappy.

Banded Profile after BT repair

I've been doing a lot of reading over the last few days and believe I have a Banded Profile. I suspect the answer to my question is going to be "Wait until you have had a stable connection for three days and it'll be lifted" but I have a few questions.
History:
Moved into this house mid 2010. Signed up for BT Broadband, phone and BT Vision. Broadband was about 2 Mbps download. Line was a bit crackly. Broadband often dropped when the phone rang.
BT came out and cured the noise BB was up to 3.5-4 Mbps. Bought the BT BB Accelerator Plate. Fitted and 48 hours later had 8-10 Mbps. Hub used to restart once every 2-3 months. No issues no problems.
Until 2 weeks ago.
The Problem:
One day the phone line was very noisy. The broadband constantly dropped and often would not get a connection for hours. When it did it might last 5 minutes. Long story short it was a fault in the line between the street pole and the master socket. Once replaced the line was clearer than ever and the BB was back on.
It was running at 10 Mbps for the best part of a day AFTER the line was replaced. I tested by picking up the phone and making calls inbound and outbound. Nothing caused it to drop. Until the following morning when the hub rebooted itself. Thinking this was just a part of the checks it does now the line was back I ignored it until I realised the speed is down to 3,072 Kbps.
Speaking to BT they mentioned i had a high "Noise Margin" and unable to get a decent explanation other than just wait and it'll come back, I started Googling and found this site. Much reading later (and I HOPE understanding) it appears I have a Banded Profile. I have noticed the general advise is wait until you have 3 days without an interrupted connection before asking for help. Previously I was rebooting every evening and morning on the advise of a work colleague. I got to 3 days uninterrupted earlier today. Came home at 6pm, checked the router stats and found it must have rebooted around 12pm (which should have taken it over 3 days) I checked the speed and it's 3,072 Kbps still. My upstream has increased from 1,038 to 1,138 Kbps. With that the Upstream Noise Margin has dropped from 9.7 dB to 6.3 dB, but why not my downstream Noise Margin? Downstream is still 14-16 dB.
I realise the banded profile is imposed because the constant reboots made BT think it's an unstable line - which it was DURING the fault. However i had a good 18 hours or so with 10 Mbps (with no hub reboots) after the repair only for one hub reboot to apparently cause the Banded Profile (or at least be the one that cause the Banded Profile to be invoked).
Am I correct in thinking 6 dB is best/optimum Noise Margin?
Do I have to wait another 3 days (or more) for the downstream to be adjusted separately?
I can't believe there is still a fault with the line. The line was fine all the way to the street pole but the engineer suspects the line to the house was very old and possibly had a break.
What if I can't get back the old speed I had? It's not life and death but it's infuriating to have 10 Mbps for 2 years, have something fixed and then get about a third of that...

Stuck at 0.25 Mbps for 16 days after line repair

Hello,
I am currently experiencing some very slow broadband speeds following repair of a line fault. I believe it is due to a banded profile, although I'm not an expert.
We had terrible noise on our telephone line. As you can imagine, our broadband was severely affected. The fault was repaired on 18th June and now the telephone line is nice and quiet.
However, the broadband has failed to recover. It's now been 16 days since the repair and I've been pulling my hair out. I was told I have to wait 10 days or more for the broadband to recover. Can anyone explain why this is necessary? Contractually am I obliged to suffer an extended period of low speed following a repair? I'm sitting here staring at a solid 32 dB SNR margin whilst paying BT for an unusuable broadband connection.
I have paid for a 3G Modem and SIM card because the BT Broadband is currently unusable. Has anyone ever had success in recovering these type of costs from BT?
Any advice appreciated. Speedtests and router stats below (Draytek Vigor 2830n).
Thanks,
Brian

i agree you are in a banded profile and need to stay connected 24/7 for 3/5 days and the banding should release and noise margin drop down to 12/15db with corresponding speed increase. You then to remain connected as noise margin drops probably in steps of 3db until it gets to normal 6db

this still didn't fix iPad connectivity after updating to iOS 6.0.1 !!! intermittent wi-fi connection, even with a direct line-of-sight to the router.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
