Internet connection drops with new HH4....

I recently signed up to a new deal with BT and had to pay for my HH4. I have it all connected up the exact same way as my HH3. I am receiving a faster connection now but am now getting VERY frequent internet connection drops....
My PC is wired to the HH so NOT a wireless issue. I have checked ALL my microfilters and seem to be working. Nothing within my home has changed apart from the homehub. I used to be connectiong at around 6.5Mb, I am now connecting between 7.5 and 8Mb....
9 times out of 10 the connection drops when I receive an incoming call.... but not always. I can make outgoing calls with ZERO issues....

BT engineer was out to fix the line in February of this year. A new main box was fitted (which I was billed for) and he also fitted an iplate to the box to allow the hub to be connected without the need for a filter since they are built in.......
an Iplate will not do away with any filters and they will be required on all sockets - unless you mean a filtered faceplate not iplate - 2 sockets 1 adls and 1 phone

  • My Internet Connection Dropping Issues...

    I too am having the occasional Internet connection dropping issues.  Phone and TV continue to work.
    Since I had Fios installed last November I am on my third ONT and 2nd router.  When I called in my latest drop yesterday the call center person told me I had a hardware issue because my computer had a valid IP address assigned.  I tried to teach her something about DHCP but she would not listen to me.  I asked her to please reboot the ONT and she refused because "nothing was indicating a problem with it".  Whatever...
    Each time the Internet goes out the router acts fat and happy.  I have full green on WAN Coax, and strangely enough, a flashing green Internet activity indicator.  Logging into the router shows that I am MOCA connected and assigned a WAN IP address.  But I can't get out past the router at all.  On the event that led to me getting a replacement router the lady said she could talk to the ONT just fine, but not the router.  We reset the router and ONT port numerous times and the connection finally came back up.
    I am not sure of the protocol between the ONT and router, but I think the ONT is keeping enough signal going to make the router "think" its happy, but then the ONT is not passing packets at some point.  After yesterdays call and the refusal to reset the ONT I just hung up on her and reset it myself.  Of course everything started working just fine...like I thought it would.
    So what is the issue here?  Is MOCA a mess?  Is an Ethernet connection to the ONT better?  I am utterly disgusted with this miserable system and can't afford to continue having these outages.
    I should also add the other wonderful features I have seen.  When I tried to powercycle the *new* router yesterday it decided to dump its entire config including my port forwarding.  Nice...  And I have given up using wireless because if I set the router for WPA it locks up so hard that it takes a master reset to get going again.
    Anyone have some advice on getting this system stable?

    I would try using a non-verizon router.  I used the Netgear router and it fixed my problem.  The Verizon router seem to be pieces of garbage and they over-hear.

  • Wired Internet connection drops since 10.5.7

    Since installing the 10.5.7 update I've had trouble with my Internet connection dropping while I'm using it. I have a wired connection and have checked the cables and the router port and there doesn't seem to be a physical problem. I'll be browsing the Internet and without warning it will suddenly stop working. A minute or two later it will have recovered. This happens every few minutes and it's very aggravating.
    I do not use a wireless connection and have turned off Airport.
    When the connection drops, I am unable to ping the router. If I run ifconfig I see it has a 169.254.x.x address. Once the system recovers, I can once again ping the router and the IP number is what the router assigns.
    I ran cat /var/log/system.log and here is an excerpt:

    I don't know if the problem is related to an incompatibility with VMware Fusion or not. I have both Windows and Linux virtual machines on this Mac. I'm not actively using VMware when I have the connectivity problem.

    I posted this on an other topic last night
    Hi,
    New to this forum. Landed here because of airport issues after 10.5.7. update.
    Airport could not connect to my network, but it detected other networks.
    I tried some steps suggested in this thread but it didn't work. Then I looked into my router and disabled the "hide accespoint" option. That worked. Airport connected immidiatly. I restarted and still had connection. I then enabled the "hide accespoint" option, restarted, had to log in manualy ("connect to other network"), gave my networkname and password and until now everything works okay.
    Maybe the 10.5.7. update chanched something in the airport//router setting/visability.
    Giel.

  • Internet Connection drops when incoming telephone ...

    On 14th December 2011 during a period of very high winds and heavy rain an incoming telephone call caused the internet connection to drop and it eventually restored itself after about 2 hours. When I answer a call the internet connection drops after about 30 seconds and then reconnects after about a further 40 seconds. All incoming local calls cause the internet connection to drop. As far as I can tell incoming calls from other exchanges seem to be OK. Incoming calls from mobile phones sometimes cause the internet connection to drop. The line is unaffected by outgoing telephone calls. I have a BT HomeHub 2B plugged into an upstairs telephone socket and connected by ethernet to my PC. I have another telephone socket downstairs, each socket is fitted with a filter. I have have tried every combination of my two standard telephones and 4 filters in each socket and every local call causes the internet connection to drop and reconnect. I think it very unlikely that both phones and 4 filters have become faulty at the exactly the same time. I have connected the Home Hub and telephone with a filter to the test socket and asked a friend on the local exchange to call me and the internet connection dropped and reconnected as before. Since moving to this house 2 years ago I have had four previous interruptions to the broadband service all of which were caused by problems probably at the exchange. The last one took 8 days to correct after countless calls to the "Help Line". Their fall back position is always to assume that there is no problem with the BT line. So I am not even going to try to explain this over the telephone. This is the information on the BT Home Hub Event Log, it is typical for every occurrence of the problem. Dec 26 11:42:42 2011 ERR 2011-12-26T11:42:42Z cwmp: mt_cwmp: session error: Could not resolve host Dec 26 11:43:19 2011 (1035438.010000) RTNL: Received ERROR reply 'No such process' for message type 0x19 Is this a problem with the Homehub, the line, or at the exchange?

    not sure I read your post correctly but are you saying if someone from another exchange phones then the broadband is ok and it only drops if someone from your own exchange phones?
    if the possible sollution from chris6273 does not work, and you have already tried the test socket then I would contact the mods for assistance  http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951

  • My internet connection drops

    hello there!
    ive been having this problem for a little over 3 weeks now. i have an ethernet dsl type internet connection with a cable and not wifi. ive NEVER had this problem with my ibook on this same internet cable but ive had my imac intel core2duo for about 3 months now and 3 weeks ago the internet connection would drop every now and again, like 5times a week and i noticed the only way to get the connection up again is to restart the compter. once i do that, the internet is back! so weird! however, the connect just dropped twice in the last 40 mins and ive restarted my computer twice to get connection back. why is this and how can i fix this problem?
    any help would be greatly appreciated!

     users that have internet connection drops, slow speeds and intermittent connections while wireless, then your problem might be slightly different then other users in this thread. 
    for Wireless intermittent and slow, you should try changing the wireless signal.  you can do that in the router.   open a browser, and go to http://192.168.1.1,  user name is admin.  and the password is most likely the serial number found on the service tag of your VZ router unless you changed it.
    Once you login succesfully, go to the top and hit wireless, then on the left basic security.   then go to option 3 which is channel
    1, 6 and 11 and are the only channels you should try.
    So it will likely be set to auto, change it to 11 and put the check for keep settings even after reboot (Directly under the channel) and then hit apply.,
    after you hit apply,  test your connection out, if you notice a difference, leave it like that until the problem happens again, and if it happens again, go back into the router, and try channel 6,     test it out.  and then finally 1 if the first two don't work.
    Also take a look at page 2 of Actiontec's Wireless PDF File.  It gives you some idea's with regards to position and orientation of where the router sits and how it can best be positioned for maximum coverage.

  • Help needed to Replace existing routers due to connection drop with Extreme

    I currently have an old linksys router connected to my cable modem in the basement. I then have a second router connected via ethernet to the first router located upstairs since most of my computers are upstairs. I am having alot of connection drops with most of the computers. ONe of the computers hardly even connects to the network. Almost all of my computers are macbook pros/macbooks/imac except for 1 or 2 pcs. I would like to start fresh with the airport extreme/express. Should I set it up similar in that I have an airport extreme base station connected downstairs to the modem and then have a second extreme/express upstairs via the ethernet connection. I do have a printer upstairs as well that most of the computers use that is connected wirelessly.
    Any other tips?

    No,
    Express has only one ethernet port which acts either as WAN input if plugged into a modem or as LAN output, if plugged into an end device (PC, Printer), so it cannot be used for input and output at the same time. I'd suggest you do this,
    1/
    - If modem must stay in the basement and cannot be moved upstairs
    - Have modem in basement
    - Run an ethernet cable from the modem to your Extreme's WAN port upstairs
    - Have Express in the basement and connect it wirelessly
    let it join your Extreme's network over wifi, if there is enough signal in the basement
    - If there is no signal in the basement from upstairs' Extreme and Express finds
    nothing or signal is unreliable, then you need to run an ethernet cable
    from Extreme's LAN port (it has 3 in the back) and run it downstairs
    and plug into your Express.
    2/
    - move the modem upstairs and keep the setup same as in 1/
    - no difference, you still have to run the coax cable from basement,
    so you drill no matter what
    3/
    - keep modem downstairs
    - keep extreme downstairs connected to modem
    - keep express upstairs and join it wirelessly to your Extreme's network
    - plus side is - there would be no cables running upstairs
    - downsides of this setup are:
    you'll have router with only one ethernet port upstairs - so if you have"
    multiple desktops, you will have to rely on wifi
    Extreme's signal is stronger than Express's - I'd put it into a place where
    my family spends most of the time
    It all depends on your house setup, whether you have desktops or laptops only, ...
    As a preference, I like to keep Extreme close to my main computer as I connect to it via ethernet rather than wifi (much better speed). My wifi is only for laptops and iPods.
    Also, seing the Extreme's status light tells me what is going on without running to a basement when internet starts acting up.
    Rule of thumb - if you can drill, then drill and take advantage of the gigabit speed as opposed to wifi's 100megabit or whatever your signal lets you get up to. This is very noticeable when streaming movies via Netflix, AirPlay etc...
    If drilling is too much hassle, you live in an apartment unit or it's a transitory place for you, just use Wifi. If you are planning on living there for a while, cables will make you happier than wifi - no interference to worry about and better speed
    It's up to you.
    My apple TV is also connected to my Extreme via cable - speed is incredible. Wifi used to choke up every now and then.

  • Internet Connection Drops PLEASE HELP!!

    Installed Bootcamp in XP Pro, found that the internet connection drops all the time, need to manually unplug the modem and the airport to reconnect. I'm using a wired connection, not wireless.
    thanks
    any help is greatly appreciated

    yes i have done that.
    In OS X, the wireless connection works, but the wired connection doesn't. In WIN XP , both don't work even though it says its connected. If i reset the router (Airport Extreme), I can get the wired connection to work for a short while, then it stops working and if there are any other computers plugged into the router, they wouldn't work either. I will have to unplug all the connections and reset the router to make it work again. However, if i don't plug the iMac into the router, and use my other computer (like i am now) then its fine.
    so in brief,
    - if i use iMac with bootcamp, internet doesn't work
    - if i use iMac with or without bootcamp with another computer plugged into router, both won't work
    - if iMac is not plugged into router, and use another computer instead, internet works

  • Frequent Internet Connection Drops

    I am a loyal Linksys user.  Have used linksys routers for 3 years with no issues.  Have recently experienced internet connection drops from my wireless computers, while the computers which are wired, access the internet without problems.  I have 2 Lan connections (1 is a computer directly to router, the  other is a Slingbox and Tivo box connected through a Slinglink Powerline Bridge).  Wirelessly, I have 3 laptops and a Tivo box connected.
    The problem began with my WRT54G v1.1 and now is occurring with the replacement WRT54G v6.  The problem seems to be occurring with a conflict with the Slinglink.  If I disconnect the Slinklink from the router and wirelessly repair the connections on the computers, access is restored without any reboots of router, modem or computers.  Once access achieved, I can reconnect the Slinglink until the next drop.
    More information can be provided as I have been monitoring this for 3 months.  The problem is with the router and not the computers, Tivo, DSL modem or internet provider.  The only common issues appears to be with the Slinglink or it's connections.
    Any assistance would be appreciated.
    Warren

    hi....have u by any chance assigned a static IP address to the slingbox ??? in case u have , ensure that u have assigned a static IP outside the DHCP pool of the router ( default DHCP pools of the router starts at 192.168.1.100  and ends at 192.168.1.149) ....In case u have not assigned a static IP address to the slingbox , i suggest that u do so...input the following details ofr your slinkbox network configuration....
    ip address  - 192.168.1.25
    subnet mask - 255.255.255.0
    gateway/router - 192.168.1.1

My internet and wifi are working on samsung phone and hp laptop but its not getting connected to iphone ipad, only skype is coming online rest all apps and safari show no internet connection. Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice

    Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps?  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

  • Connections drops with port forwarding

    I have a WRT54G v.5 and I recently just set up port forwarding. The problem is that my internet connection drops between every 10 minutes to once an hour. Once I disable port forwarding, the connection works perfectly. Any ideas?

    Make sure your router has the latest firmware installed.

  • Internet connection dropping out throughout day; problem NOT with provider

    My computer's connection to the Airport Express base station has no problems at all. But the internet connection goes out literally dozens of times a day (at no predictable schedule); this has been happening for almost a month. I originally thought the problem was with the internet provider, but I'm now beginning to think that either my settings are wrong, or that I have a corrupt file somewhere. Here are the details:
    I connect via a cable modem (Time Warner - Road Runner). I know people have had problems with Time Warner, so I assumed that was the issue; however I've had 3 service calls and they've checked signal strength inside and out, and swapped out the modem and the cables. I don't think it is simply problems in our geographic area (i.e. greater Los Angeles) due to the fact that the Internet fails sometimes 40-50 times daily, and the problem began when I upgraded from an old Airport base station to a brand new Airport Express about a month ago.
    The airport/internet connection is shared 3 ways: two MacBook Pro computers and one iPhone. My Airport's internet settings are as follows:
    Configure IPv4 using DHCP.
    DNS Servers: 66.75.160.63 and 66.75.160.64 (note I have already tried swapping these for OpenDNS -- this did NOT solve the problem)
    Domain name: socal.rr.com
    DHCP Client ID: [blank]
    Ethernet WAN port: Default-Automatic
    Connection Sharing: Share a Public IP address
    DHCP Beginning Address: 10.0.1.2
    Ending Address: 10.0.1.200
    DHCP Lease: 4 hours
    NAT settings are all unchecked
    One of the main reasons I believe that the problem is with my computer's settings or a corrupt file is that I can fix the problem whenever the Internet "goes down" almost 100% of the time by doing the following: after loading Airport Utility, I make ANY trivial change (i.e. changing the DHCP lease from 4 hours to 5 hours) and then click UPDATE to refresh the Airport base station. This fixes the problem almost 100% of the time. But then, anywhere from 10 minutes to 3 hours later, the Internet connection goes down again. [Unplugging the power from the modem, waiting 30 seconds, and plugging it back in ALSO fixes the problem almost 100% of the time, until it goes out again a little while later.]
    Also, I have tried disconnecting Airport and connecting directly to the cable modem via Ethernet. The problem remains exactly the same -- I can connect, but then the connection fails soon after. Unplugging then replugging the modem fixes the problem temporarily. So I do not think the problem is a defective Airport base station, nor do I think it is the modem (which has been replaced), nor Time Warner.
    I can't think of what else to try -- but any advice would be greatly appreciated -- it's impossible for us to work with the Internet constantly going out throughout the day, every day.
    Thank you!

  • Having internet connection problem with a new Actiontec GT794WG

    I am  currently using Westell 327w which works completely fine. Its internet light comes on after few seconds the DSL light becomes solid. I am trying to change it to GT794WG, because I have been using 327w about 4 years.
    By the way, I am having a connection difficulty with my new GT794WG modem.
    Although I connect every necessary cables such as DSL, Ethernet cables and turn it on, an internet light on the modem does not flash. There is no problem with DSL light. It becomes solid after few blinking. Only problem is the internet light. I know that it refers that the modem can not connect with the internet.
    I don't understand why the new modem can't connect to the internet which my old modem can?
    Can anyone help me solve this problem?

    Ok.
    #1 For your info, there a certain amount of time that you can re-edit your post.
    A time limit of at least 2 hours.
    #2 Why do you want to replace your Westell 327w with the newer router? That is if there is any other reason besides, you have been using it for four years..
    Moving along...
    #3 In the Westell 327w, go to Configuration -> VC Configuration
    #4 There are different settings there, as I saw at
    https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.westell.com/images/pdf/e90_6000_6100_6110_ug.pdf&embed...
    on page 46 out of 146 pages.
    #5 What is 0 VPI / 35 VCI set to?
    #6 Notes:
    a) In the manual/user guide (that docs.google.com URL) the connection type is PPPoE.
    b) If 0 VPI / 35 VCI is set to Disabled, what ever the enabled for example 0 VPI / 36 VCI.

  • Internet connection drops when I use Home Sharing with my iPod Touch

    Hi,
    I have two PCs (Windows 7 and Windows Vista) both with iTunes 10.2.1 and an iPod Touch with iOS 4.3.1.
    When I use iTunes' Home Sharing with my iPod Touch, that is, I stream music, podcasts, etc from either one of my PC computers to my iPod Touch, a few minutes later both laptops, as well as my iPod Touch, lose Internet connectivity. While home sharing continues, Internet connection is lost. I have to unplug my modem and wireless router to get back my Internet connection. The problem, however, recurs again and again.
    Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.
    Dave

    I am having the same problem. My MacBook, iPad, iPhone, and even the PC all lose internet connectivity;but home sharing still continues to function properly on ATV2.
    I'm not too savvy on routers and modems, but could the problem be my router's capacity?

  • Internet Connection Dropping

    I am a FiOS internet subscriber, and for well over a year I have been having problems with my Verizon router (MI424WR), where every month or so it would stop accepting new wireless clients and my wireless devices reported reduced signal strength from the router.  The only way to fix the issue was to cycle power on the router (pull the power plug, wait a few seconds, and plug it back in).
    A few months ago I started to experience a new problem, similar to that described in this thread, (I would have replied to that thread but it is locked now).  My internet connection now drops more or less once an hour but sometimes more often than that.  Unlike the previous problem, this issue affects both wired as well as wireless clients.  The conncetion resets after about 30 seconds, but any games, uploads or movies in progress are interrupted.
    Can anyone tell me what might be going on?

    It sounds like the router is going bad. You may need to get it replaced.

  • Internet connection dropping this week

    Internet disconnecting on a daily basis since Tuesday 9 June: This week, my internet connection appears to have developed an intermittent disconnection issue. Below are the details and what I've done about it. So far at time of writing this, Sky have yet to resolve this, and it's frustrating because I spend over £150 per month (and have done so for over ten years) with them. These issues have impacted a wide range of online activities, from streaming VOD services, work VOIP/Skype conference calls, online gaming as well as any internet-based activity. Setup:- Service: Sky Fibre- Router: Skyhub 2 (SR102), received from Sky at the end of March 2015. Previously used the white SR101 with BT Openreach modem for almost two years.- We have less than 16 devices connected at any one time. 10 is usually the very most.- We've tried replacing the modem cables, micro-filter directly into socket (unscrewing face plate), line noise testing, etc etc. (Faceplate is on master socket). Symptoms & diagnoses history:Tuesday 9th JuneSUMMARY: Intermittent internet dropouts begin and noticably. Call Sky support who dispatch OR engineer.Noticed throughout the day regular drop-outs of connection, spaced about an hour or so between eachother. The internet light on our SR102 box would totally go out. After about 20 seconds, the light would flash orange and then eventually turn solid orange, before turning white again. Sometimes after flashing orange, it would go off completely again and then eventually, after seconds (no more than a minute) it would start flashing and then become solid again. Most times it does reconnect first time but sometimes it gets into these loops as per below:- An example of an extract of the router log-file when it randomly disconnects but then finds it difficult to just re-connect and the light goes off again: syslog: Line 0: VDSL2 link down
    syslog: Line 0: xDSL G.994 training
    syslog: Line 0: VDSL G.993 started
     (This "down, training, started, down, training, started" loop routine would repeat itself almost like it can't find the connection? I could be wrong as I have limited understanding of what the log-files mean) Response: I called Sky support who, after a 20 minute line test their end called me back and confirmed it was an external fault and they would dispatch an Open Reach engineer to the cabinet within 72 hours.
    Wednesday 10th JuneSUMMARY: OpenReach engineer arrived. Didn't really find an external fault. Left and Sky closed the case.Open Reach technician van outside around 13:00hrs. By this point a couple of disconnects. In fact, I had noticed the van because I was going downstairs to have a look at the router as it just then disconnected again! The engineer said that he was at the cabinet and couldn't find an issue. I invited him in to have a look at our setup which is straight forward. We have a faceplate socket which Sky installed in 2013 and it is in the master socket. Until this issue this week, we've had no issues like this to-date. However the engineer suggested it could be an issue with our router?? Despite Sky already confirming issues externally.Response: Anyway he went away and then I called Sky support after a couple of hours. They confirmed the engineer's report suggested he did replace something at the cabinet, and the case was now closed. The woman on the phone also proceeded to suggest that it was a problem 'our' end. *Note* it's in the master socket, it's a microfiler installed by them, it's a 2 month-old router one of their latest models (I know it's not the best around) and we've not had issues like this really. Not recurring intermittent ones anyway. She suggested if it continued again, to take the faceplate off the socket and put a Microfilter directly into it and plug the router into that to test if it's the faceplate. Also replacing the modem cable which I did to no avail. Thursday 11th June:I was out for most of the day so was unable to probably monitor the line or use my usual services on this to see if any changes were made. Friday 12th June:SUMMARY: Still disconnecting...!Five times today, the internet connection has died. It happened during an important work call over Skype, it happened three times during online gaming on the Xbox and a couple of other times. There never appeared to be any regular event or theme which caused any of the disconnects (e.g. use of an appliance (interference), use of a specific internet service or a specific device suddenly being re/introduced/connected to the network. I thought it could be a load issue... i.e. too much stuff happening but it would do this when online-gaming on an xbox and pretty much nothing else happening on the network other than 2-3 devices connected doing nothing strenuous at all other than being on the wifi network!). I unscrewed the faceplate and plugged the SR102 directly into the wall with a traditional micro-filter. This didn't seem to work and still disconnected.Response: Called Sky support AGAIN. They did another 25 minute line test and, yet again, determined an EXTERNAL fault, relating to the "configuration" of the line this time.. Any thoughts on this? They have reopened the case and dispatched an OR engineer again... Fingers crossed, but not too happy. In summary:I'm no stranger to coincidences in combinations of faults in equipment like this....Can this be a degredation of both the original faceplate and the router itself?? But then two separate Sky support technicians (including a 2nd tier staff worker) have declared it an EXTERNAL fault?? I'm stumped, and frustrated.. I'm a bit miffed about this and if there are Sky support staff on these forums it'd be good to get a firm response as we spend in the region of £2,000 with you per year for your services and they are not impinging on my efficiency to carry out my business and social activities.  

    Right so, the problem is all sorted now. Below will explain what it was in the end, as I appreciate so many people have issues but then don't update the forum so it's less help to others trying to diagnose their own issues). Since my previous message (above), the following happened:- - That BT Openreach engineer must have fixed a coincidental error at the exchange in related to the Configuration / CI / Line card. After he fixed the issue, he made a note to say he reset the DLM on the line. The line was relatively stable for a few days but did drop a couple of times during the night (checked the log files).- After Thursday of the same week the line deteriorated to a near unusual point and the crackling on the phone line itself was getting worse. We even have dropped calls due to this.- Another call was put into Sky at the beginning of the third week of problems. A third external error , this time they called it "copper line impairment", obviously relating to the copper phone cabling. Apparently the very first call out cited this too. A BTO engineer arrived literally a few hours later at the green cabinet (three houses down from me), identified a clear fault from that end and then called Sky to arrange to attend our premises on Thursday.*At the same time, a brand new router was sent to me. However as you'll read below, this wasn't the issue so it made no affect*** All the while many drops on internet, almost unusable in all arenas - VOIP, online gaming , phone conferences, normal phone calls, downloading, uploading, etc. Because of the immense number of drop outs and because BTO number 2 did NOT fix the issue but decided to reset DLM anyway, our DL and UL speeds were decreasing by the hour! After a bit of research and having checked everything myself, I can only come to the conclusion it was our copper cabling (!!) from the pole to the house... as it is almost 50 years olf (if not older!). So far it's cost Sky (or however they work it out) about £800 for the BTO call-outs. I insisted on them putting a note on this fourth BTO engineer to say the copper line should be replaced otherwise we're talking about a false economy now.- Thursday of week 3 arrives. Fourth BTO guy attends. Absolutely fantastic guy. Knew his stuff but also just got on with it... Did all the tests, failed all of them. Determined it was indeed the copper cabling. Luckily we have a second line installed (unused, only installed about 10-15 years ago so current, clean cabling) so instead of reeling a whole new cable from the pole, we just swapped round the connections on the wall. He even put a whole new drop cable in and wired right up to our master socket with a brand new MK3 face place... All within 2 hours. By this point the DL and UL were still rubbish and decreasing still but the internet and phone line has never been more clear and stable! Unfortunately he wasn't a Broadband specialist so he couldn't reset the DLM.- One last call to Sky that evening and a fifth BTO attended the next day, did some quick checks which the connected passed first time, reset the DLM and it's not dropped once. DLM has since completed and we have a rock steady connection for the past two weeks. In summary:-- Replaced copper cabling from pole > house.- Replaced copper cabling (drop cable) from house > master socket- Replaced master socket faceplate (as a precaution) ... Replacing a copper cable which is 50 years old does not take a long time nor does it cost much in comparison to the amount of times I had to call them out at Sky's expense. Apparently a lot of BTO engineers like to avoid replacing cabling as it's the most frustrating part of the job. The guy who worked with us said he just gets on with it if it needs to be done. In short: If you've tried everything, consider the cabling. The reason why it was intermittent and then got worse was because this occurred during the hottest days of the year where the cable finally gave up the ghost. As it dried out from the rain, there were lots of gaps and chinks which weren't passable as it was when it was wet. Note re Sky service:-- We had some good tech support people. Though a lot of times I went straight to Tier 2 tech officials as I was a bit fed up repeating the synopsis of the issue every time I called as it got longer and longer each time! I did feel like a few of the times I was leading the investigation but then I am the customer and wanted it fixed the most. Just make sure you try all the basic potential solutions before contacting them (new cables, master socket, turn router on/off, line checks, if Wifi change channels etc etc) to save you going through those hoops. If anything, the weak link was BTO as it's real hit and miss who attends your house, how busy they've been that week and how much they really want to do the major tasks of their job description!! Luckily we had a great Line expert attend who was happy to do the major work required in the end. Sky then later partially refunded for loss of service for over three weeks.... All in all a good outcome. Hope this helps some.
