Broadband dropping constantly, poor speeds, poor s...

Hi Can anyone help - I had a new line and hub in Dec 2009. The broadband speed has never been brilliant but since Feb 2010 it has been awful. It is so bad my email's don't load and nor does my home page. 5 out of 7 days I am unable to connect to the Internet the router will have a flashing amber light or a red light. I have the Desktop Help which I use but usually it runs out of options. There is only one (new) socket into the house. The router is plugged into the "test" socket in the plug. Nothing else is plugged in anywhere near the router. I have emailed countless times to express my frustration. I have spoken to two help desk people who ask the same questions and go through the same routine. One said I did not have a BT account which was why I was having a problem. An engineer phoned and said my speed was 4.2 and would improve "now" (!!??) It hasn't and is often 2.5. The main issue is that I am so often without any broadband at all. For example this last week Monday at 1200 the router wasflashing amber and nothing would reset for 2hrs then using the Desktop Help and earthnet cable I was able to get back online. Tues between 1730 - 1900 router was flashing amber then went red. Thursday 0800 the unit flashing amber and I got a message "Your hub cannot connect to broadband." Really?? Saturday 1020 I had connection but so slow I could not send emails and got Desktop message saying "Failed to load due to an internet connectivity problem. I tried to get online this morning Sunday and had no service with the router flashing amber again. I went out to save my sanity. Came back - I could not reset until now at 1800. The second UK person I spoke to was definite there was no problem with the broadband speed at 4.5 so could it be my router is faulty? I am at my wits end. BT do not give a **bleep** as I guess I am locked in for 18months due to a new line being put in. I pay for a service and get decidedly limited service. Does anyone know how to get their attention or better still reliable broadband. By the way I live a two miles outside Chichester. I have not been able to post this for 15mins due to "connectivity problems".

Here are some of the results i found... hope they can help....

Broadband Dropping Constantly

Hi, For the past week and a half my home broadband has been constantly dropping, and takes up to an hour to reconnect again, however, restarting the Sky Hub manually reconnects sooner. I have read around on the internet and can't find a solution that seems to work for me. My connection statistics are:Broadband LinkDownstreamUpstreamConnection Speed19867 kbps1308 kbpsLine Attenuation24.5 dB14.4 dBNoise Margin3.8 dB4.4 dB Dial tone sounds perfect with no audible hissing or static inteference. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Broadband dropping out, noise high, speed slow

Have had past problems with high noise, which seemed to have been solved by having the mods reset noise down (thanks) with line speed increasing up to around 2Mbps over the last couple of weeks (great from where I was previously). See http://community.bt.com/t5/BB-Speed-Connection-Issues/Slow-broadband-downstream-line-speed/m-p/33081...
Tonight around 4:50pm (when all the kids in the neighbourhood have come back to their homes, and are playing online games) broadband drops out, noise jumps up to 22 from about 15 where it was previously I think, speed dramatically drops to less than 1Mbps.
Q1: Any idea how to get noise down again and speed back up?
Q2: Have I got a faulty hub that it keeps dropping out like this (hub is quite new)? Peculiar that it seems to happen at busy periods though - I've had this kind of drop out before, which is why I'm going straight to the forum. I have already had broadband boost engineer out in the past and that makes me think it's unlikely there's anything wrong with my line.
Any ideas about solutions will be gratefully received! (Just started working from home office today with 3 people - had thought I had us all on 2MB+ - but not now!) Help!
Thanks

Broadband Dropping Out and Connection Speed Decrea...

Sorry to be a pain but I am back here again.
Since the last issue with speed, connection drop out and noisey line which required an underground cable to be partly replaced, all has been fantastic and no problem to report. Many thanks to those who were involved in helping with getting that issue resolved.
About 10 days ago the broadband started to drop out at random times but not too often. The broadband hub light would go out for about 15 seconds before returning. My connection would automatically resume and no great problem. It has since become more of a problem and pain.
The frequency of drop out increased with a sort of pattern. Last week an example would be drop out at 11:50 am, again at 12:40 and once more at 1:30 pm. Each time the connection returned my computer icon for wifi would be a warning triangle. I clicked on the icon and would get a message 'limited connection'. The only way I could connect again would be to click the icon and select to disconnect and then connect, making sure a 'tick' was in the box for autoconnection. A bit more of a pain than before but usable. It got more of a problem over the next few days.
The frequency of drop out increased. This became a right pain when trying to purchase things online as I could not be sure in the purchase had been completed or if I tried again would I get two lots? Upon broadband connection returning I would not be able to 'auto connect' but would get the warning triangle of 'limited connection'. I tried the click to disconnect and reconnect but it failed to work. I ended up shutting down the laptop, waiting before powering up. This failed to work as all I would get is the warning triangle and 'limited connection'. The only way I could reconnect was to press the 'restart' button. This worked but it got worse.
The next day the broadband connection would drop out every couple of hours. It got to the point that even pressing the 'restart' button would not allow me to connect. I tried three times and gave up. I had to resort to pressing the very small 'reset' button on the back. This cured the problem for about 12 hours before the drop outs started again.
It is now a case of 50/50 if I can connect to the broadband again after a drop out. It is getting quite frustrating. I only used the small 'reset' as a last resort. I have noticed that the speed of the connection has started to drop down also.
Each time the hub drops broadband and I can auto connect and do not press any hub button, the timer has reset to zero days and zero hours. I know it takes about a week for the connection to settle. I do wonder if these drop outs are messing the connection settings for my line speed? The line used to be rated at 21 Mbps but has decreased to 17 Mbps, my actual connection used to be 19 Mbps but struggles to reach 14 Mbps. It is slowly dropping with each and every drop out.
I also looked at the event log in the hub. Just before each broadband drop out I see a external connection is made with the initials 'CWMP' followed by 'event code 1 boot' or 'event code 6 connection request' or 'event code 4 value change'. Straight after the broadband connection drops out with out fail.
All I can seem to find out is that the external connection is either the hub connecting to the server or vice versa? As for the codes? I have no idea at all.
I only ever resort to pressing 'restart' if I cannot connect to my hub. I have only pressed the 'reset' as a last resort as nothing else worked to allow me to reconnect.
Can anyone offer any help or best a permanent fix?

I connected to the test socket and used a wired connection for the speed test and hub stats.
The hub position and run of cables are the same as when the last engineer advised as the best set up.
Since my last post I have checked the event log and 'CWMP' has made at least two remote connections but the hub did not drop broadband connection. The broadband has been stable but just slower than usual, as you stated due to the drop outs/disconnections.
I guess a case of wait and monitor to see if the problem has resolved itself?
Will the speed automatically return to the usual 18 to 19 Mbps? or will something else have to be done to reset it at the exchange/server?
Here are the hub stats from this morning.

Broadband drops every few hours

My broadband drops out every few hours and takes me between 5 - 15 minutes to reconnect.
I have good speed (for here! about 1.3mb down) and this doesn't change but the connection drops at least 5 times a day. It's been doing this for at least 3 months. Sometimes it does just run very slow, but mostly it drops altogether.
The only way to get it working again is to turn off the router and turn it on again, then after anything from 5 - 15 minutes for it to reconnect.
It happens to all the computers we have connected, all via wireless, some mac some pc on Win 7.
Can anyone help please?

I will try changing the filter and cable, I may have tried this a while ago but will again.
Quite line has very very slight crackle but I don't think it's anything, we live a long way down the line in the coutryside and I never had better.
Not dropped completly since last night
but this is last activity showing how it's connecting, not sure what the fails mean..

Broadband Drop Outs

Hey guys
Looking for some advice.
Currently living in a house with BT Infinity (its rented so I'm not the bill payer), when Infinity was installed everything worked fine - no problems at all.
Recently however (and I'm not convinced something hasn't been damaged by the building site directly opposite the house) we get constant broadband drop outs. Interestingly it also does appear to get worse during heavy rain.
Our BT Home Hub is a Home Hub 2.0 (I think), firmware version shows as:
Software version 4.7.5.1.83.8.94.1.11 (Type A)
The hub and the other white box have been restarted many times, it doesn't make a difference.
Since we started having issues, to rule out this being a WiFi related issue, I have a linux netbook attached directly to the Home Hub via Ethernet cable to run tests on. The majority of the time, the connection is fine (and we get a 100% ping return), however we appear to go through prolonged periods of losing about 50% of all pings on my tests. During these period, no computers on the network appear to be able to load any pages from the internet, but pings to the hub are always 100% (unless the hub was being restarted by one of us).
To keep tabs on things, I ran a tracert to www.google.co.uk and then scraped all of the nearby IPs from it (so the first few hops). Using that, I wrote a quick bash script to send out pings and then record to a text file anytime they fail. For anyone who is interested the bash script being used is here: http://pastebin.com/uEycEpdy
The output from the bash script after running all weekend is here:
19/01/14 (running from midday): http://pastebin.com/mtc5Euu0
20/01/14 (ending at 5:30pm) 1: http://pastebin.com/xnScepvy 2: http://pastebin.com/XQRk9eWW
It's ultimately weird! Its also worth noting that all of the lights on the Hub remain blue even when the connection is dead on the computers. It does appear during the issues the netbook can't even ping the first IP address (first hop) after our hub so wondering if it is a line issue (although the line checker on the website says its fine).
Any ideas? Since BT won't talk to me and we don't have a landline phone to test if there is a dial tone I'm wondering it anyone has any suggestions? Currenty bugging the landlord to sort it but you know what they are like!
Many thanks!

Using the phone makes my broadband drop out

Hi
Ever since BT have done some work at the exchange, I am experiencing problems with my broadband dropping out when the phone is used.
I have reset the hub and I have a filter on the phone line as it enters the house.
Has anyone any more ideas I can try?
Thanks

if you have changed the filter and moved the phone if dect further away from hub - does broadband drop on incoming or outgoing calls or both?

Broadband drop out

My broadband drops out and all the lights flash. Just joined netflix and we can't watch anything as it just keeps buffering.
At that point I check the bt home hub v2 b and the lights are going crazy. Also at night when I am checking my emails on my tablet the connection will just drop out. I've lost count the many times I've reset the hub. I've pulled all cables and turned off all the things that uses wifi.
I've checked bt for b/b faults and my area code is not in a fault area.
Is it time the hub was changed to the latest bt hub , my sister lives 500yds away she has no problem with the latest bt hub. We have a bt vision box and can never get bbciplayer and other channels on the box.
Can anyone suggest my net move or should I have a rant at bt?
Paul
Solved!
Go to Solution.

when was the last time you renewed your contract? if more than 12 months then you are on a rolling monthly contract and any discount you had has ceased. you could save monet by phoning the uk based options team and negotiate a new contract cheaper and at same time get a new hub thrown in options team 0800800030
the hh2 is old and has known problems

Wifi drops constantly on WPA enterprise wifi on my campus

Hello,
I own a macbook pro retina mid 2012 on maverick. The wifi drops constantly on campus, it's a WPA enterprise wifi. The wifi seems to work fine at home. My computer has been sent to an apple store twice for this issue already, I got it back but it is still not working and i spent more than 3 hours on the phone with apple trying to solve that issue. They made me run a lot of stuff, got me to send them files so that their engineers could work on them.
Bottom of the story, they tell me that the problem must come from my university wifi, a wifi network used by 50 000 students every single day and everyone is fine with it ...
I have been to the computer help desk on campus and they had no idea what to do.
So please if anyone has any hint, i would greatly appreciate as I lost faith in apple "engineers" and their skills.
Thanks guys.

Hi ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 15-k233ca Notebook and issues with the WiFi dropping constantly. Try this fix.
Go to device manager,the Network adapters WiFi driver properties power management
Allow this computer to turn off wifi to save power, uncheck it and restart the Notebook. Hope this helps. Thanks.

Wifi dropping constantly on a MacBook Air and iPad 2 and iPad 3. I am not computer savvy so any solution will have to be in 'normal' language, please.

I keep looking for the solution to wifi dropping constantly, but just can't understand the answers, let alone follow the instructions. Can anyone please explain in 'baby' language how to stop wifi constantly dropping on my MacBook Air and iPads 2 and 3. I have had this problem for about three weeks and prior to that everything was fine. I am using a D-Link Router on channel 11, with AOL as my provider. Thank you so much.

That is correct, so I have just been told!! Our Router is a D-Link DSL-2640R which we access via typing 192.168.1.1 into our Internet Explorer Browser on a Windows PC computer. All this has been working for years. The Summary page for the Router shows Internet, DSL and Wireless are all connected and working fine. We have changed the channel to 11 which has made things faster and is not in conflict with nearby systems, but wi-fi still drops on the Mac and iPads. I have only had this problem for a matter of a few weeks. Before that all worked perfectly fine.
By the way thank you very much for trying to help.

Sudden drop in transfer speed

I have been trying out a WRT1900AC router for about a week and just developed a MAJOR drop in speed from the router to the computer while doing a file transfer:
This thing has been sending files to and from the router's esata and USB3 port at over 50 MB/s until just now.
I can still write to the drives attached to the router at 50MB/s + all day long. Getting files from the drives have suddenly dropped to 300Kb/s on the esata and the USB3 ports
Tried rebooting/powercycling the router, disconnected the drives and reconnected them, same result.
Anyone else run into this?
Funny, I just got done posting in another thread how fast this thing moved files to and from external storage. Now this,,,,,,
Maybe the universe is telling me not to keep this router?

1. What file sizes do you usually transfer? What are the file types?
For testing I used larger files (IE: ISO files, larger zipped files, etc.) rather than just copying folders or small files.
2. Are the files being transferred to and from your computer and a storage drive (hooked to the WRT1900AC)?
Files were moved all over: from a WD Mycloud (hooked up to 8 port gigabit netgear switch) to my computer. Also have a Toshiba 1TB USB3 drive plugged into the WRT1900AC USB3 port and an older WD 2 x1TB enclosure hooked into the WRT1900AC via the eSATA port. For testing I moved files all over the place: From the Esata to the computer, to the USB drive, to the WD Mycloud and back again. Also mixed up going from point A to B, then from point C to point B, etc. In all cases the slowest speed I get is 50MB/s + with some transfers topping out at 90MB/s!!!
3. If it's a storage drive, does it have USB3 ports as well?
Yes
4. What is the link speed of your computer?
Wired Gigalan
Routers do not usually need to be rebooted every now and then. They should be running 24/7. My guess is, the wired or wireless adapter may have adjusted speeds consequently dropping file transfer speeds.
Agreed. I can count on one hand how many times I had to reboot my last router over the 2+ years I had it.
Heres the other thing: the need to reboot is not just associated with file transfers. I get the "cant connect with the WRT1900AC" message just going into the user interface from time to time as well as being unable to see storage folders in Windows explorer from time to time. In these cases I can still go online, surfing and doing whatever. The router (according to the Smartlink page) just seems to disappear. Which doesnt make sense since if the router cant be seen online, how is it that I can still go online?
Anywho, I still have this week before I lose the ability to return/exchange it at Best Buy. Will see how things go.
And thanks for the reply and suggestions,,,,,,,,,,

Continual Drop in Sync Speed

I have been experiencing a continual drop on sync speed and thus actual line speed over the last few weeks. I had a HH4 replaced aftger teh last one died and since then the line speed seems to be getting slower and slower.
I am on DSLMax (good old ADSL) and normally sync around 8mb as am very close to the actual exchange - am now down to 6.4mb and am sure it will drop again.
Normal instructions from the phone support has been applied - reset hub etc.... and has not made a difference...
Can I ask one of the mod's to try and help out - see why the line is syncing lower than it normally does/has been for the last 3 years....
thanks
Pete

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).
are you connected directly via a filter 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

Drop in connection speed

early days but over the last week my speeds on the BTW speedtester has fluctuated from 15Mbps to 32 normally been steady at 38
pages have been stubborn and refusing to load sometimes, have cleared cache--have rebootedmodem and router
IP profile on BTW has dropped from 39 to 32
exchange is Ealow any body else the same
Solved!
Go to Solution.

the speed test as shown in previous post and others was the reason behind the reset
This is the only reset I have carried out since installation a year ago--as recommended by the BT help pages
I intend allowing it to settle down and see if the DLM will bring it back to normal
my connection in the ADVANCED settings seems to renew itself every 12/13 days sometimes earlier
coincidentally it is the first heavy rain I have had lately
no noise on line
hopefully they have only been working at the exchange/box
I include the BTW info and this shows the drop in IP speed after the reset from the 38 down to 33

Broadband dropping constantly, poor speeds, poor s...
