Constant Broadband Disconnections!
My broadband is constantly disconnecting. I have been trying to watch a YouTube video for an hour! Every time my broadband disconnects about 3 seconds in! This is very annoying!

Thank you.
Same here, have had no problems with BT since joining at start of year. Since "Major Fault" they had last Friday ive had nothing but problems including ignorant staff on other side of the world telling me to reset my router and hanging up on me when ive been trying to get through to them for half an hour i kid u not, phone was picked up then was put down. Now they tell me its my hub at fault and will be sending out a new one in 2 or 3 days?!?! Isn't it obvious its still the same fault as last week?? A few friends r with BT (poor sods) and are having the same problem as me AAAARRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELP HELP HELP!!!!! Not impressed.

Crackly phone line and broadband disconnecting
For a month or two i have been having problems with our phone line and broadband connection. The phone line is extremely noisy (interferance) and when you make a call or recieve a call the broadband disconnects. I have tried different filters, routers and wires but no good. I have conducted a quiet line test and the result was i could hear nothing on the line. When i unplug the hub and just have the phone connected to the socket the noise on the phone has gone and their is no problem, connecting the hub make the noise come back. As a result of all this my broadband speeds are very low.
Here is my hub stats and a bt whole sale speed test.

My dsl connection rate can get as high as 7.9 Mbps
Any advice would be helpful thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.your drops in connection have at one point reconnected with a far lower speed than normal resulting in the low ip profile. if you stay conencted 24/7 for 3/5 days the profile will correct itself for your current connection speed
I would as john46 suggested connected to test socket with a new filter and see if that helps

We've started getting an intermittently-noisy phone line and frequent broadband disconnects (Infinity FTTC - inner city but the cab is about 1km away), but obviously the automated test always says "we cannot detect a problem with this line".
Sod's law says that it would all be working during an engineer visit, thus costing £130 for no result - just curious, is there basically nothing we can do?When our broadband was installed, the engineer was getting 25Mbit/10Mbit. By the time a week had passed, we were down to 18Mbit/8Mbit. It's been dropping down slowly - last time I checked we were down to 10Mbit/3Mbit.

Your speed test has completed and the results are shown above, however during the test an error occurred while trying to retrieve additional details regarding your service. As a result we are unable to determine if the speed you received during the test is acceptable for your service. Please re-run the test if you require this additional information.
bt.com speed troubleshooter:
Fibre broadband speed into your home: Good
Download speed 2.46Mb
Upload speed 0.76Mb
I know the "fibre broadband speed" is the line sync rate - I assume this doesn't take into account a high error rate? I suspect our line is just incredibly poor quality - when it works it'll sync fine but the errors mean it's almost unusable.
Is there anything else I can check and if so, how? If it's in our house, I'm happy to accept dealing with it, but I really think it's down to a poor line.... -

TC and constant PPPoE disconnects
I recently bought a TC 1TB box and was able to set it up okay. It has started behaving badly. The logs show constant disconnecting. The light goes orange, 2 errors show up in the Utility PPPoE server and Internet Connection, and then they go away, only to reoccur. It causes havoc with web access, FTP connects, etc.

I have my iMac connected via Ethernet and it has the same symptoms; I don't think it is a wireless problem. I have done a factory reset of the TC, reset and rebooted the DSL modem, changed settings galour, and the PPPoE disconnects won't go away.
Any ideas?
Could it be that the modem (Thomson Speedtouch 516) is incompatible with the TC? Or is the TC just no good?
My next steps will be to reconnect the old slow Linksys router and see if the problem goes away. A last resort - my household of 4 laptops and an iPod Touch won't be happy! On the other hand, they will get internet access...Try this link for more information about your modem.
http://www.speedguide.net/broadband-view.php?hw=32
It appears that the default IP address for the modem is 192.168.1.254
You would normally connect the modem directly to your computer and enter the address above in your browser to bring up the administration pages for your modem. You will probably need to look for Advanced Settings or Expert Settings or something like Configuration Settings to look for an option to set the modem as a simple "bridge".
Also noticed a number of posts when I Googled your model number about frequent disconnect problems with the modem. There may be some hints in here as well.
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23054795-speedtouch-516-frequent-DSL-drops
If you are not familiar with changing the configuration of a modem, I would recommend that you have an IT guy look things over at your location. Perhaps Thompson support could lend a hand. Sorry, I'm not familiar with this modem so can only provide general info. -
Constant Wifi Disconnect After Moving To SystemD
Hi All,
I used netcfg for months with a WPA2 connection using the initscripts. I finally moved to systemD. I was getting dbus errors from systemD using systemctl so updated via pacman which fixed the errors. I did this within minutes apart so not for sure if a kernel update broke something - stupid move on my part.
Any how I followed the wiki guide for netcfg, within a few minutes and after a reboot was happily working away. I configured the wifi like so:
systemctl enable netcfg@gloryhole
Then the wifi disconnecting started at random intervals but very quickly, what seems to be less than 3 minutes.

After reading some forums they recommended net-auto-wireless.
systemctl enable net-auto-wireless
Still no luck, another forum recommended removing netcfg and trying some thing else, since they had constant disconnects. I installed wicd and disabled services that could conflict with wicd. Disconnect problem still exists
I verified hardware is OK, in windoze wifi card works great, pulled down many gigs with no problem testing. My laptop has native systemD install with wicd and works great so nothing with my AP.

First thing first I disabled WPA2 on the AP and let it wide open, even though every other device was working. Was hoping to rule out wpa but instead it got worse.
I first tried netcfg, after removing everything I could find on wicd. The issue with netcfg is I could connect but couldn't surf. A little testing showed that there is a problem with the wifi link established. It won't allow much or any traffic to go through. Pings barely work, surfing was hit and miss.
I decided to just connect via cli, once again removed netcfg, wicd, removed any trace files, disabled related services and rebooted to remove previous entries.

Interesting thing is I am getting a different deauthenticating reason, originally was 2. Deauthenticated reason=3 means "deauthenticated because sending STA is leaving (or has left) IBSS or ESS The access point went offline, deauthenticating the client" or AP went offline, which it did not. (src: http://www.aboutcher.co.uk/2012/07/linu … on-codes/).
Keep in mind I run my house on the same wifi so if anything went down somebody always tracks me down to fix it. Also my ISP link is not the problem as I was downloading at the same time and not saturating my pipe. At this point I think it is just easier to run a cable under the house and mount a jack. Ideas? -
Broadband disconnected by BT by mistake
BT mistakenly disconnected my broadband (they told me that) and I can't get it reconnected. When I speak to technical support they keep going over the same thing. I have had an engineer out he said BT just need to instruct Openwork to go to the green box at the end of my road and reconnect the wires, in his words "it will take 5-10 mins". Yet I can't get anyone at BT to understand as my issue is clearly something unusual. Is there a UK number that anyone knows where I can speak to a human that doesn't just follow a script?? It's been a week now and I have had enough. Perhaps it's time I simply cancelled BT and went to Sky....
Hi tonyrwebster,
Welcome to the forum and thanks for your post!
I'm sorry that your broadband service has been disconnected and for the time it's taking to get you up and running again. We can pick this up and help get an engineer on the case to reconnect the broadband.
You'll see our contact link in my profile under the section "about me". You'll find it by clicking on my username.
All the best,
Robbie

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
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

Broadband disconnection fees.
My friend, has had horrendous broadband speeds for all of her year long contract. All the neighbours have the same problem.In March, after much discussion, and BT agreeing that the service was dreaful and speeds were extremely poor, they agreed to give her compensation, for a service they are not providing. It never came.
Her contract is up this week,so she phoned to say that she would keep the phone service but wanted to end the broadband contract, understandably. She has been told there is a £30 fee for this.
It is end of contract so I cannot see why there is a fee. BT say it is for them to disconnect the broadband.
Help please?
Thank youjohn46 wrote:
The Broadband cease fee is made by all ISP's including BT when Broadband is removed from a line and not moved to another ISP
The charge is raised by BT Wholesale for sending an engineer to the exchange to disconnect the line from the broadband equipment in the exchange and updating all line records this link explains more http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/consumerProducts/dynamicmodules/pagecontentfooter/pageContentF...
There are a few errors here.
Firstly not all ISP's charge their customers for disconection, at least one of the major providers absorbs this charge and does not pass it derectly on to cancelling customers (Believe in better)
Secondly, when a customer cancels their service and engineer is not sent to the exchange to disconect the equipment this used to happen however these days the equipment is left plugged in until it is needed again and the service is stopped remotley
Thirdly, since April 2012 BT Openreaach no longer charge ISPs for SMPF ceases. So if a charge is being made by the ISP, it is not because the supplyer is charging them and they are 'just passing it on' -
Hi, My broadband stopped working last night. This morning instead of seeing a disconnected message I was told to join sky shield but when I logged into my Sky account it said I don't have broadband which I have done for the last six months. When I called the help number it asked for my telephone number which I don't know/can find. There was an issue when I signed up to Sky in January that I had two accounts but I was told these had been merged. Katy
Sounds like a call to Sky CS is in order to check your account details. This forum is customer to customer only, so Sky staff will not respond to your post

30 times/day broadband disconnect
A couple of months ago I started to notice occasional dropouts. Just over a week ago they became much more frequent. I have a BT installed filter faceplate, but the dropouts are identical if I remove the faceplate an use a line filter into the master. I have only one socket in the house, and the router plugs into that (no extensions). When it is connected the speed is great, and the line is silent when I do the silent line check (though I've never managed to be doing that when it has dropped out). I have tried 2 different routers and cables, with no difference (which hasn't stopped BT sending me another one to try - with the expected same result).The 30 or so daily disconnections are spread randomly across the day and night. The disconnects cause the homehub3 to flash amber on the broadband, then reconnect, and the duration is from 45 to 90 seconds.
Is there a way to automatically monitor line quality so I can catch any random noise? The line test done by BT always succeeds, but then it is unlikely to ever co-incide with a dropout.
My understanding is that I may be wired directly to the exchange without a cabinet, since it is pretty close.
Any suggestions?
thanks.

Speedtest gives me 15618 and 877, with a profile of 17100Yes - I'm afraid it isn't a wireless issue (wish it was though), and it happens through the night which also rules out interference from most appliances in the house. I have DECT phones nearby, but the disconnections continue even with those removed completely (and batteries removed from handsets to be doubly sure).
Noticed today that the latency is now FAST, whereas it was INTERLEAVEDwhen I first started logging the disconnections last week. It is behaving exactly the same wither way, but odd that it would change for no reason.....does that happen automagically?
Don't suppose there is some sort of device I can plug into the phone socket for a night that will detect any anomalies or intermittent line noise etc..? -
Constant wireless disconnections
Have been using BT Wireless for nearly 8 years now and had no problems however 6 months ago we started to get constant dropouts, BT told me that the hub was at fault so another was sent out, for several months we had no problems then over the last 2 weeks it has constantly been dropping in and out.
After ringing Bangladeshi Telecom (not British Telecom as you can't speak to a British person anymore)an engineer would call and speak with us, I was at work, when the engineer rang he told my wife to plug an RJ45 cable into the pc, when she told him that she didn't know what an RJ45 cable was, he said "Come on Mrs *** I expect some sort of co-operation". After my wife complained an engineer came out....we had a problem with the line. That should have fixed it....Wrong
I rang BT again and asked for another engineer, this time I was told we were not entitled to one, after an arguement I rang the accounts department and asked for an engineer....Unfortunately they were not interested in dealing with me. I cancelled my Direct Debit, as soon as I'd done that they would send an engineer. Amazing that.
While the 2nd engineer was present the wireless kept dropping in an out, he put it down to interferrence and there is nothing we can do. my Broadband is constantly up and down and we have to pay for it....I have been told to use an RJ45 when I wish to use the net.....I've now gone through every channel on the hub, have even switched off the different types of wireless network
A week ago I put a complaint through, they can't be bothered to answer it. The service is non existant and appalling. As for the call centre, well they all follow a card, when something else arises they don't give a **bleep** and either cut you off, or they are just rude and ignorant. I'm having to use a wired connection so this gets posted
We have no other wireless devices, the only thing next to the hub is a telephone which we've had for years. What is going wrong?. Looking through this forum, it looks like so many others are experiencing the same issue.Hi Subduction
Welcome to the community, sorry to hear of the problems you have had.

Crackling phone line and broadband disconnecting
I'll try and keep this short as i have no intention of wasting another 4 hours of my life trying to explain how disappointed i've been with my BT Infinity broadband.
I have recently come to the end of my 18 month contract so was looking for a new provider. I have been getting speeds of 10MB for a while, when i should be getting much higher download speeds. My phone line has always crackled badly and whenever i use the home phone the router resets itself.
I made the decision that if BT could rectify any problem with my speeds i would stay with them. I have basically been told that the problem is in my house. There is no problem whatsoever with my phone line so any engineer visit would cost me a fortune.
After using the BT line test/speed test it tells me that the speeds between my home and the phone exchange (0.7 miles away) is just under 10Mbps. Does this mean that there isn't anything wrong with the internal set up of my broadband and if so why did none of the several people i spoke come to this conclusion? I've been paying for the 76Mbps service for 18 Months and not one person at BT has ever offered a solution just the same scripted rubbish that it is me that had the problem. Not only have i spent a fortune on the broadband itself, i also bought new phones on the recommendation of another BT "expert".
Solved!
Go to Solution.I use the home hub 4. Yes it does have a filter on it and then the phone plugs into that. Tried test socket this morning and still getting crackling on the line.

Broadband Disconnecting at the Same Time Every Day
I have been getting help from the MODs in the last week about the SNR on my line. But this weekend, my line was set to 9dB and in the morning it is synced at about 5600 kbps. But then at about 6PM the line goes down and it syncs lower at about 4800 kbps. The noise isn't getting really low and it's disconnecting because of that. It disconnects when the line is at about 8.5dB. So what's going on?

Power saving mode / and broadband disconnecting pe...
I have recently started using the power saving mode and noticed that our BB speed has gone down to 2.4 from 2.9. While I know this is not a big reduction we had a lot of problems earlier in the year with V04 messages cos our speed dropped to around 2 and it took a lot of engineers visits to get it back up to 2.9. Also I noticed that our HH keeps disconnecting (at the moment it says it's been connected for 2 days) although this has been happening since we signed up to BT and not since using the power save mode..
Do you think it is the power saving mode or the fact that the HH keeps disconnecting periodically that is resulting in our speed reducing? I would really appreciate your help as I desperately want to avoid getting the dreaded V04 error messages!
Thanks
DebbieHi the variations in your speed are being caused by the restarts of your hub nothing toowith power saving mode you need to find the causes of thedisconections
