Broadband download speed has dropped from ~2.7Mbps...

Hello,
For the last few weeks our broadband download speed has dropped from ~2.7Mbps (which we've been getting consistently for years) down to 0.7Mbs. It's now so low that our download speed is slower than our upload speed. I've take the following steps and nothing has worked:
Running the BT Broadband Speed Checker
Removing all equipment so its just the BT Home Hub connected through a BT Microfilter straight into the master socket
Replacing the modem cable and Microfilter
Online line fault check
As I say, it only recently - over the last few weeks - that our speed has decreased so massively from what we've been getting for years and it is extremely frustratingly slow - I can get faster speeds via my mobile phone's 3G network.
Here's a screenshot of the ADSL line status from the BT Home Hub.

when you joined BT broadband you would have received an email address *****@btinternet.com or ******@btopenworld.com Bt would normally send the emails to that address

Broadband download speed has dropped from 8mbps to...

Hi,
I have been having problems with my download speed for the last month. i have been through the fault process from BT and have had no joy in fixing the issue. They say i am getting 8mbps from the exchange to the house but only 1.94mbps there after. I was receiving 8mbps for about 2 years consistantly and has just suddenly changed. Can anyone please help me? I feel like i'm getting nowhere after reporting the fault.

Broadband download speed has dropped to 2Mbps

Hi
I believe I am having exactly the same issue and am being told to do lots of tests / switch off hub etc. Running BT's own test I appear to be getting 8mb from the exchange but only 2mb from my hub (consistantly).
I'm new to this forum so can you tell me who I can email to try to resolve this as per this thread?
Thanks for any help

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Looks like Home hub logs show that someone from BT has modified my profile, I'll post here again if I get resolved or not.
the last post is almost 4 months old!
your profile has dropped to 2.5mb as a result of a drop in connection speed. if you stay connected 24/7 fro 3/5 days your profile should return to normal. just make sure your router does not drop connection

Upload speed has dropped from 12Mbps to 2 Mbps.

I have a screenshot taken of my broadband speed the month I got Inifinity installed. At that point I was consistently getting 70Mbps down, 12Mbps up.
No variables have changed at my end (that I can think of) but now my upload speed is barely 2Mbps. Whilst my download speed is also lower - I'm not as concerned about that for what I am needing it for.
http://speedtest.btwholesale.com
Shows 57.76 down
2.06 up
Ping 42.63
I have tried resetting the modem and home hub, a different router - I've compared LAN and WLAN (on both 2.4 and 5Ghz frequencies), used a pc, used a MAC, tried at different times of day but for reasons unknown the upload speed has taken a really noticeable dive in performance.
I have phoned BT tech support - they advised 'upload speeds aren't gauranteed for residential customers'. They don't appear to agree that a drop in upload of 80%+ is fault related. I can see myself having another go at speaking to them - but before I do :
Can anyone suggest how I can progress this to get my upload speeds nearer where they were? Or steps to try to isolate where the issue is? Could noise on the line affect upload more than download speeds?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Good luck. A few suggestions below, but I am afraid I don't think they will help. Might be worth contacting the mods at: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 . But be aware they take 3 working days to reply: sometimes more if busy; but they have a good record of getting things solved once they are on the case.
~~~
Check the upload profile from the wholesale speedtest. It is almost always 20Mbps for an Infinity2 connection, but something could have gone wrong there.
~~~
Try a different browser, browser with plugins turned off, firewall and antivrus (temporarily) off, and safe mode. Probably won't make any difference, but still a fairly easy experiment.
~~~
If you have an HG612 router, unlock it and monitor stats. Or buy one on eBay and unlock it. Keep modem resets down to an absolute minimum; no problem with HomeHub or other router resets.
~~~
Try connecting a PC or Mac directly to the modem: a bit of a faffle I am afraid.
- connect from the modem LAN1 (that is usually connected to the HomeHub/router), to the standard ethernet port on the PC/Mac (that is also usually connected to the router.) So the HomeHub is out of the picture.
- Make a pppoe connection. On a PC it will be something like
- 'network and Sharing Centre',
- 'Set up a new connection',
- 'Connect to the Internet, set up a broadband or dial-up connection'
- 'Broadband PPPoE'
- Then enter username '[email protected]' and password 'bt'.
Detail may vary a little between different version of windows, and of course even more different on Mac or Linux.
Repeat your speed tests and see how they go.
That will help check out if the HomeHub is the problem. Seems unlikely as your have already tried another router.

Speed has dropped from 5.2 to 1.54!

Hi, I've been with BT Broadband for only a month, my speed at the start varied from 5.2 to 4.1 which suited me fine, no buffering but now it has dropped to....1.54!
I checked this speed with Broadbandspeedchecker as I tried to test the speed with BT's own speed checker and it hadn't loaded after 5 minutes!
I was assured by BT when I switched from Talk Talk that my speed would surpass their old speed (which it has for the past month) but is there any reason why it's suddenly dropped?

Opening second tab, no address causes download speed to drop from 160 kbs to less than 5 kbs and sits there doing nothing, does not happen with IE, why is this

after firefox updated from 27 to 28, when i download a file, play music, watch a video, or run a speed test, normal speed is about 160 kb/s (dsl connection 1.3 Mb/s) - just opening another blank tab (not any address) or try to open another page like google search page, download speed drops to less than 5 kb/s - downloading stops, and second page does not open, why is this happening, it does not happen with internet explorer and the version of IE i have is out of date,
history/cookies all clear automatically when close, i have disabled all add on, run malware, adware searches - show no problem, norton antivirus is up to date, i have spent hours on phone with ATT isp and connection is showing no problem - if i run a speed test it shows good, if i try to run a speed test and open second tab - speed fails and speed test will not even finish, ATT suggested I try the same thing in IE and there is no problem - so it appears to be an issue with Firefox 28

What is the CPU load when this slowdown happens?
Are you using a specific driver in Windows to mange the internet connection that might not get enough processor time to run properly?
It is also possible that other (security) isn't able to do its work and takes additional CPU time.
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
*http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/
You can try to create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problem if starting Firefox in Safe Mode didn't help.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over the problem

Speed has dropped from 3+Mbps to 120ish Kbps

Hi,
In the last few days our broadband speed has plummetted:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 122 Kbps

Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :192 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2 Mbps
When we moved in 6 months ago we were getting 3+ Mbps download and it has remained stable at that speed until recently. I've rebooted the homehub but that had no effect.
Should I just raise a call with BT?
Cheers,
Rob

My broadband speed has dropped from a steady 6 mbp...

hello I would like to talk or email a BT moderator, I have been having broadband speed issues the last week, I recently renewed my broadband contract with BT to option 3, I have always received a steady 6mbps, even though I live in a rural area, I live near my local exchange, I think there may be some kind of fault on my line, I have checked my broadband speed regularly and also the BT website status notice of faults, I have checked my router, my telephone socket etc, wonder if a BT moderator customer services person could help me with this matter, I'm not a heavy downloader, mostly bbc iplayer stuff, my network is secure, I scan my pc everyday for virus's etc.
Kind regards
David

to get assistance and before you email the mods you need to post some router stats to illustrate your problem - can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z) and run btspeedtester http://speedtester.bt.com and post the results.

Speed has dropped from initially promised speed

Hi Guys n Gals.
I recently renewed my broadband contract with BT after a year of 3Mb/s D/L speed and 376Kbp/s U/L.
I was looking at the BT speedtester in September/October when it stated that i should receive a minimum of 5Mb/s and a maximum of 8Mb/s but should expect 6Mb/s. I rang to verify this with the sales dept. and all was hunky dory......for 2 months.
My exchange (Toddington) had recently had 21CN work completed and all looked as though my speed had in effect doubled. Well it had! WOW! it was brilliant.
I then started to have a degradation in service which has seen my downspeed drop to old levels and im totally disappointed now.
I have called BT's "tech support" in India and have become bitterly sore from their basic patronising, turn it off and on again approach. When i mentioned that i had carried out BT's own speedtest and been given the aforementioned figures, i was told that i must be mistaken and that my line only has capacity to sustain 6Mb/s yet i have downloaded files at far above that number/speed. I was being told i had not seen what i know i saw. Here are my line stats for your perusal:
I am in the test socket and connected via G/Bit LAN card to G/Bit port on HH3.
These stats were taken from the router directly after the line test so there was obviously a reset of the router in said test.
Is there anyway i can reobtain the exact speedtest i was sold the product on as i now wish to terminate my contract totally. I will NOT be treated like this as a customer. I have been on the phone to tech support again this evening and they reckon they have found a line fault.......Why can they have not done this before totally insulting my intelligence like they have.
I wish for two or three things to happen now. Location of the fault, apologise directly to me from a UK BT rep and finally cut me loose so i dont have to suffer any more foolish service any longer than is exactly necessary.
Best Regards

welcome to the forum
if there is a fault and it gets fixed then great and maybe your connection speed will improve. you never get a promised speed but an estimated speed but that is very much dependent on your line quality and home connection.
if you want some assistance from the forum members then please can you post the adsl stats from your router may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems) http://speedtester.bt.com or http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9354/c/346,4740,5520 and post the results .
are you connected directly to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

11 Days in Speed has gone from 55 to 7. BT Call ce...

Title says it all really.
Infinity was installed on the 30th of April speeds were great at 55 through out the week they slowed down to 36 which was great as I was told my max speed would be 30. However over the last few days my speed has dropped to 13-16 but has gone as low a 7
I phoned BT overseas call centre and was promised that the would fix my fault by then end of the call, then BT flatly refused to do anything as I was in side the 10 days. Explained that I wasnt. 9 days into May and the 1 day in April makes 10 days. So after I and the person on the other end of the phone counted the days out in sequence and realised I had had it for 10 days, he turned around and said we dont count the first day, and your days will not be up till Midnight Friday.
Thats 12 days by my counting
I then got a very condersending story about how the internet works. "Let me explain so you will understand. When a baby is born it can not walk that is like your connection to the internet. When the baby reaches 2yrs old it can move faster but still not run, when its older still then it can run, This is like the 10 days you connection need"
All I want is my Ip profile reset as it and my max line speed have dropped from 70+ to 38.6 to 19.8
Do i have to wait till Midnight Friday or is there someone else I can ask to get my Ip profile reset.
I just want the 30 I was promised

Till I can post the BT speedtest result
Here is the quote from the email Irecieved when signing up to Infinify and Speedtest.net results from day 1 to yesterday.
Email when signing up for Infinity
Your broadband starts on:
30 Apr 2012
Your download speed should be: 30Mb

My speed has dropped to 80kb/s!

I've lived in a new build area for about 10 on the outskirts of my town so my broadband speed hasn't always been that great.
But for the past few weeks my broadband speed has plummeted from 2mb/s to 40-80kb/s for no reason.
Using the internet is almost impossible to use with these speeds and for a day or two my speed was back to normalbefore going down again.
Following the phone instructions of a BTcare worker from twitter, I've plugged the router into the test socket and ran the speedtester as well as running it in the normal setup with the same results.
I'm not sure if it's the wiring in my house or the line itself.
Here are my DSL and speedtester results for those interested.
My line attuention seems really high...

at one point due to dropping connection your speed was very low about 256 or less which results in a drop in profile to 135 - you may not even have seen the low speed as router could reset with a faster speed but the lower speed would have dropped the profile.
it now needs a stable connection 24/7 for 3/5 for profile to rise automatically
