Re: Connection Drops/Disconnects

I'm having the exact same issue, and everytime I get with the support team all they keep doing is changing channels and what do you know, I have the same **bleep** problem.
Getting very tired of the un-helpful staff though when I got to the tech support they was more helpful and got my ports opened ( even though I had not one single issue with connecting to my xbox, ps3 or PC before untill just before Christmas.
I just want my net fixed and be how it used to be, none of these BS excuses I get thrown at over the phone.

Does the connection drop if you use a direct Ethernet cable, and not wireless?
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

BT Wi-Fi connection drops and cannot be closed

I use BT Wi-Fi on a monthly subscription - 500 minutes for £6 a month, plus 12p a minute for any extra minutes.
Occasionally my connection drops, and I have to reconnect and login again, which I can do OK.
But when I check later how many minutes I used, via my online subscription info, it's clear that I end up with two connections running in parallel. The connection which dropped carries on as active in the background somewhere until it is eventually auto-disconnected (after 15 or 20 minutes ?) due to inactivity. So I lose those minutes each time this happens.
There is no way to close the dropped connection. Even if I log out of my new 2nd connection, it only closes that one, not the dropped one which I can't access.
Today this happened when I was at the end of my monthly allowance, so because I couldn't close the connection I've now gone around 30 minutes over my allowance, which will cost me £3.60.
Please can we have a way of closing all connections on a BT Wi-Fi account, to deal with this issue.
And a refund would be good, as I had no way of preventing my account going into the 12p a minute rate.

Internet Connection Drop Outs when remote administ...

I did not want to trouble anyone here if I thought it unnecessary but now I feel that I do need some assistance so this warrants opening a new thread.
BT Infinity Option 2 customer with BT HH 4 and its separate modem - not hacked so cannot read any useful information or login to see what is going on and both BT and the manufacturer long ago removed the open source code of the modem.
I am quite confident now that these disconnections happen when a remote server/attacker attempts to gain access to my network. These can be from China, Iran and other places too. Sometimes Ministry of Defence? I don't know why I get these connection attempts and most of the time I see BT HH 4 does block these so why I get disconnected I have no idea?
I made a post in an old thread before opening this thread and said it was due to firmware upgrade but I misread the date! It was not updated since the 8th of May I think. These disconnections have been happening only this past 4-7 days with the most 4 days with intensity greater than the 3 before. I am not 100% certain it is caused by the remote administration that is blocked.
What happens when this takes place is the BT servers are then unreachable sometimes and I cannot regain a connection for up to 3 hours at a time, usually it is 5-10 mins max though. Without looking at my event log, any ideas?
I want to get different gear now and never wanted to use BT equipment anyway because I want greater control and options to configure. I would like to go with DD-WRT or OpenWRT Router with Integrated VDSL v2 modem. Anyone here that may suggest one that supports either of these open firmwares? Not so much the concern to prevent any security holes or backdoors but just as much if not more for versatility and configuration and just having control over my network. being able to do upgrades when I want and not when my ISP decides needs doing. And before you say BT do not have backdoors then why would they admit they can remote login to devices and storage contents with their pwerline adapters even. I remember reading a news article quoting BT as admiting this. Anyway, that is not my main concern here, as much as privacy and security is not a crime it is rather rare online. First I need to get to the root cause of this.
BT HH 4 is not reporting any DDOS attacks and even if it were I would not expect to experience any disconnection. I used to get tons of floods from DDOS attacks years ago when using Netgear routers and never exeprienced any downtime, but that was with another ISP. I don't detect any malware or anything like that and rarely download anything on this machine, I know web browsing can infect a system but I don't think that is it.
I want to go back to how I used to do things. Any help with this is appreciated. I will need to get my router login details because I was never given those when I singed up with BT Infinity Option 2. I don't even know what my BT email is but do believe there is a way to recover that under my account. **In the past we have had intermittent connection drops and loss of sync but this is not the same right now.
Edit:
** Just to clarify that was before we upgraded to BT Infinity Opt 2. This is the first time any probs with this service since upgrade and that must be about 6 months or more now.

When running BT HH diagnostic it printed out that the username for login had changed and needed resetting or for me to enter my own in that I was NOT given! Anyway, when going to select manual reset it had not changed from default at all so I think this is just some default BT diagnostic that is false. I realise that other BT customers are affected by this with the BT HH5 but mine is HH4...my posting probably isn't as clear right now as I have not slept as much past few nights trying to figure this out. This is happening at different times of the day but more often during early hours.
So I am getting these WGET TLS error(s)
How do I enter in log excerpt from BT HH? Forums says my post exceeds 20K chars...

BT Infinity Connection Dropping but BT refuse to a...

Hi,
So in September we got BT Infinity. It was a hassle and handled terribly by BT customer service but we eventually got it. It's been working fine for around five months but within the last few weeks we have been having connection issues.
Over Easter I have spent over 10 hours on the phone to BT via my landline and mobile trying to get a solution, but all I have got is a repeated denial of my problems.
On the 27th March I called BT to report that our connection had been repeatedly dropping over the past few weeks and a fault was opened. I was told I would be updated but no-one called back despite promises they would do.
I called BT on the 28th March to follow up my issues but was met with an advisor who lacked knowledge in the issue and simply told me to continue monitoring my connection.
I called BT on the 3rd April as there had been no improvement in my connection, which is dropping multiple times per day, and on this day 7 times. After going through the same repetitive questioning session about how I connect to the internet, a deep line test was run, and it was decisively concluded that there was a fault with the line within BT's retail servers. I was told this would be followed up and promised a call back on the 4th April.
After I had not received a call back on the 4th April within the time allocated to me, I called BT where I was met with an awfully rude woman who had no interest in helping me and went on to suggest what I was saying was an outright lie and she categorically stated there had been no call back booked despite me having the text in front of me which confirmed it.
After being told to 'continue monitoring my line', a slightly repetitive phrase favoured by BT Customer Service, I called back as instructed on the 8th April. Again, I went through a repetitive process before finally making some sort of progress and being sent a new home hub.
My new home hub arrived on the 11th April and made no difference to my problem. I therefore called BT and spoke to an advisor who told me he could only assume the Home Hub was sent in error, as he was absolutely adamant it would make absolutely no difference to my situation. I was told to 'continue monitoring my connection' over the next few days but before he ended the call I asked him a number of questions, none of which were adequately answered.
Why is our connection dropping? Rather than giving me an explanation as to why it is dropping, he told me that we are lucky it only drops a few times a day! He said 'everyone in the world suffers from a connection which drops multiple times per day' and that 'there is absolutely nothing we can do because there is no problem'. He told me about rate-adaptive lines, which according to him 'are used by every household in the world' and that these lines 'inevitably drop out up to five times a day, which is normal and acceptable'.
So how many times can it drop before it's considered a fault? The basic answer I received is that there is no limit! It doesn't matter how many times it drops, it absolutely normal! Only if it drops '20-30+ times per day' is it considered a problem worth solving to BT.
Why do you never call back (in particular, why did no-one call back on the 4th April, and why did an advisor accuse me of lying about the call back)? They said that when the issue is escalated from Level 1 to Level 2, it is impossible to see any contact between the customer and Level 1, so when the call back wasn't arranged as it should've been, there was no way BT could've known. He apologised for this and the way I was treated by his colleague.
Why was a fault reported on the 3rd April? Why have I not been updated since? Simple answer from BT. There probably was no fault, that was probably also incorrectly opened. Note the key word probably. The advisor I talked to said he had no idea what happened in any of my previous calls and that there was no way he could find out why the fault was opened, or listen to the call (despite all calls being recorded). He said it was impossible for Level 2 to hear the content of any calls made with Level 1 and that it was 'impossible for an advisor to take notes for a call lasting more than half an hour'.
I recieved a call back today on my mobile where I was told just to continue monitoring the fault. However I was also told, again, quite categorically, that there is nothing wrong and that he would happily send an engineer in three days but that 'he would be able to do absolutely nothing. It would be a waste of time'. The advisor also refused to give any details on how much this would cost and was desperate to end the call saying 'goodbye' despite me being mid sentence multiple times.
I have now been told to 'continue monitoring my connection' and await another call back on Friday, by which point I will have wasted many more hours on the phone to BT.
Your customer service is disgusting. Your lack of compassion and understanding is disgusting. The way you totally mislead customers is disgusting.
And now for my top BT Operator quotes (or near quotes, as obviously no-one has any idea what was said in these calls, not even BT!):
"If your temperature raised to 100 degrees celcius but then went back to normal, there would be no problem, it's the same with broadband"
"Everyone in the world has a rate-adaptive line and everyone in the world should expect their line to drop"
"If your line only drops 5 or 6 times a day there is no problem, you obviously should've known this before you signed up for Infinity"
"There definitely is a fault.... there definitely isn't a fault" - the trademark conclusiveness of BT
"We can limit the speed on the phone line, but it would have to be to 1mb" - this is despite absolutely contradictory help published by BT
But despite these humorous moments, I have wasted a huge amount of time on the phone to BT.
I have one simple demand. Stop the broadband from dropping multiple times per day. If you cannot do this, let us leave, as you are not meeting your contractual obligations and therefore we shouldn't have to either.
And please... don't apologise for your colleague not calling back in the first minute of the phone call and then not call back.

Hi Bryan,
Like yourself and many, many other people who come to these forums - I have been experiencing the same problems. Constant disconnections, and recently, speed dropping to 4Mb in the Evenings (I'm supposed to be getting 74Mb).
It's ridiculous with how many people are experiencing these problems and BT are blatently ignoring it. To add insult to injury, this was posted in February. A statement from BT basically saying "Well you're all gonna be having problems, but it's on you."
Don't fret though, the moderators, and other people from the community can be fantastic help.
Purchasing an Openreach modem, suggested by ray_dorset, I'll still be awaiting for the Huawei 612, V3b modem to arrive and hoping this will fix the drops in speed. I currently have an ECI modem fitted in, which has stopped the disconnects, but have not stopped the speed drops.
For anyone reading this who is unfamiliar with modems as I was:
As far as I know, there's currently two types of Openreach Modems. Every exchange is built with a certain "chipset" which will work best with these modems (explaining in simplistic terms and I could be very wrong, so I am happy to be corrected.)
The Two Openreach Modems:
Huawei 614
ECI
From the advice I have been given by the moderators, if you're new to BT Infinity, then your exchange may have only recently been built, which is then most likely to have a chipset which will work better with Huawei modems. I'm about to find out this by next week.
If, in some horrible scenario it doesn't work and the speed is still constantly dropping, then you may need to fork out and purchase a new router (BUT KEEP THE MODEM). Many people have said their internet has been fixed by doing this.
One of the things I did find pretty hillarious however, is that I did call up BT the other night due to having terrible connections. He told me to take out my modem and just use the home hub 5. He then kept telling me to change a few settings on the HH5 and run a speedtest. Every, single, time we changed something - the speed would get lower and lower, followed by an "Uhhh, monitor your speed over the course of this week and then we'll call you back."
I'm sorry, but BT customer service have no idea how to fix this, so don't waste your time ringing them. I genuinely feel bad for them too, they have to put up with our **bleep** while the engineers at BT who work on the firmware for the HH5 can't be arsed to try and fix it any further.
Seriously, mate - just try the steps above, come to the forums if you need help because you're more than likely to get a better answer. I know it sucks not being able to call up BT because they're just going to give you a bunch of BS, but if everyone who had a complaint on this forum worked for BT tech support, maybe there'd be more satisfied customers.

External Monitor connects, disconnects, re-connects, disconnects, endlessly

Hi,
When I physically connect my Lenovo G575 laptop, running win7, to my LG LCD monitor via VGA cable, my laptop will not remain internally connected to the monitor. The laptop disconnects, then re-connects, then disconnects to the monitor repeatedly. So, there is signal feed being sent from the PC and recieved by the monitor, then the disconnect sound is made and the signal stops... then the connect sound is made and the signal is restored to the monitor, over and over again. During connections, the monitor displays as desired. This monitor and VGA cable work flawlessly on my other laptops, but not my Lenovo. I've tried changing the resolution settings on the computer, which does not solve the problem. How do I get the Lenovo to remain connected and feeding signal to the TV? Any ideas? What could the problem be?
I've read the Lenovo owners manual for my model. There was nothing relatively helpful in it.
Adapter Type: AMD Radeon HD 6310M [Computer says "This device is working properly" & is also up to date]
Driver Version: 8.792.2.4000

Robert,
My wife's MacBook exhibits the EXACT same problem. The speed drops from around 3,100kbps to as low as a lousy 80kbps as soon as the external monitor is connected. I get 3,200kbps on my desktop, which is NOT on wireless.
Her monitor (ViewSonic LCD flat panel, I believe) is connected directly to the MacBook, as it came with the appropriate connector.
It's very discouraging that you don't have an answer yet after two months.
The next step has to be to bring the MacBooks back to Apple for replacement of the internal airport card.
Thanks for having posted this.
—Ramón.

Stumped about constant connection drops

I just upgraded from 18 mbs to 45 and have had nothing but continuous connection drops. Seems like every 15 to 20 minutes, often after a period of inactivity, the wired connection just disconnects. I am as frustrated as I could possibly be. We ditched the Uverse TV because of an abundance of issues and now I'm ready to kick this NVG 589 gateway down the street, too. My info is below. Typically, I'm good while working on the computer, then dead in the water when I'm not. I see dozens of other members with this same issue and no luck as far on how to get around it.

Constant Connection Drops

I'm Panther (10.3.9), RCN cable, no wireless, no router.
My connection drops 5-10-15 times a day. Hitting "renew DHCP lease" brings it back. I work at home and am often up/downloading large graphics files, and this is destroying my productivity.
I tried calling the RCN tech support line. Nothing useful. They said my connection is fine, and besides don't have anyone on the floor who knows anything about macs. I called Apple tech support. Baffled. They said it might be my ethernet card, but were doubtful.
As a last resort, I brought my computer to a friend's house and hooked it up to her DSL line with the same ethernet cable. It stayed connected for 10 hours straight. I brought it back to my apartment, and the connection dropped. A tech came by and replaced both the modem and the cable today. Connection STILL DROPS. RCN thinks I'm hallucinating or something and continually denies there may be an issue on their end.
The service worked perfectly for 2.5 months, and then went splat! I didn't do anything at my end. One day it worked, next it didn't.
Suggestions? I would get a new ISP, but RCN is the only one that services my building.

This is exactly the problem that I'm having with my WRT54GS v6.
Usually it will stay connected to the Internet for days, but once in a while (like yesterday) it constantly loses connection.
My first indication of trouble is a web page not loading or a game becoming disconnected. Browsing to 192.168.1.1 usually works, where I'll see that the Internet has become disconnected. However, sometimes the router doesn't even respond at all, and I'll have to wait and refresh the page a few seconds later. Clicking the "Connect" button usually works to reconnect to the Internet, but it doesn't always work right away and then I have to try several times.
When this happens, quite often I'll get reconnected for less than a minute before it disconnects again. I have just time enough to verify that web pages are loading normally, online games can be accessed, etc ... and then its gone again. Suffice it to say that this is extremely frustrating.
I've seen alternate (lower) MTU values suggested here and in other threads. I'll give that a try for a few weeks and see how things shake out. I think the default was 1500 or 1492 or some such. I'm going to lower mine to 1450, as suggested here, or possibly as low as 1300, as I've seen elsewhere.
Are there any other useful troubleshooting tips that you would recommend for this type of issue?
Thanks for your help,
- Adam.
Edit: I should mention that yesterday I finally removed the router from the network and connected my computer directly to my modem. The Internet connection has been working without any trouble this way. So it would seem to not be a problem with my ISP or modem, and rather with the router, as I had suspected.Message Edited by Kaspre on 08-28-2006 09:11 AM

Hi Niko,
I already disable IPv6 and IPv4 checksum offloading, also check the MTU on each HT but still no luck.
I found the following error on the Netmon:
i already tls on receive connector, enable anonymous authentication, still no luck.
any idea?
thanks.

Wireless connection drops and doesn't reconnect (netcfg, wpa_actiond)

I use netcfg 2.5.4-1 and wpa_actiond 1.1-1, B43 driver (BCM4318 wireless card) with firmware.
$ uname -a
Linux vekta 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 15 20:08:25 UTC 2010 i686 Mobile AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Connecting works fine. I can connect using sudo netcfg <profile>, or it automatically connects me on startup.
However, after a few minutes (up to 15 at best, usually 3-5) the connection is dropped. dmesg prints:
"No probe response from AP <macaddress> after 500ms, disconnecting."
However, netcfg isn't notified of this event, and still thinks the profile is connected. So I have to use netcfg -r <profile> to reconnect. Isn't netcfg supposed to notice this connection drop and try to reconnect again automatically?
Also, is there any way to increase the 500ms threshold mentioned in the log? I don't think I ever had this problem when I first installed arch in november/december last year.
Thank you.

Hey,
I'm having this sort of problem with my Broadcom wireless card, in my case however the connection seems to drop after a period of inactivity. What you have done might solve my problem. So exactly what modification have you made in netcfg ?

Wireless Connection drops after a few moments

Hello everbody!
Background: I have a cheap laptop with a windows only ACPI module, so I have to set acpi=off at all times anyway. I tried Ubuntu, which has the wireless problem too, but instead of repairing something bloated like Ubuntu, I now found my way to Arch to make it right from the beginning.
If the wireless problem gets solved, I want to go on installing the nvdia driver, maybe configure xmonad. (I want to try KDE4 for fun too though, eyecandy you know ) Simple working desktop without getting my laptop heated up like windows does.
The problem: I set up my wireless connection like the wiki says:
-The original SSID was "FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7270 Annex A" which I tried to escape with \ and using 'ssid'. This wouldn't work at all, if you have any explanation for that I'd love to know it. I changed the SSID to something without spaces and special characters and the connection would work. But it would be nice to change it back to the original.
-So it works now. Fine, I thought. But the connection drops after a few moments and I have to "killall wpa_supplicant dhcpcd" and start them again to make it work again. For a few moments only. So I went through the logfiles and found error messages which Google wouldn't help me solve on my own. Now I'm asking the Arch specialists here
Note: Using the partedmagic livecd, the wireless connection works out of the box and absolutely stable. I believe even a bit faster than under windows. So it has to work perfectly, I just don't know how to make it in Arch yet.

Thanks in advance to anyone helping me! I really really want to get Arch going. It's ideal for this laptop, no wasting of disk space, ressource friendly, the temperature doesn't go up as much with less cpu usage I guess..
I've written quite a bit, but hopefully this makes it easier for you to help me! I've included all I thought which could be useful.

The easiest solution might be to setup NetCfg somehow with your wifi card and access point. Have you tried that? Can you find your card's chipset on the wiki?(chances are that your particular chipset will need a firmware put into /lib/firmware. Again that's found on the wiki on the NetCfg or Wifi page, I forget which sorry.) Those are two places where I'd look for good information.
By the way, your rc.conf is way out of date. You should look at updating it by using the recent rc.conf.pacnew file that you'll find in the /etc directory.

My connection drops frequently; started happening recently.

My connection drops frequently; started happening recently. Don't know why. The green light does not go off nor does my computer say I am not connected, but web pages do not load, and either takes a restart, or 5 minutes of waiting.

I'm having the exact same problem - I have an Extreme 4th Gen and the networked harddisk (my fileserver) keeps dropping off and getting disconnected...really very annoying!
Airport Update 7.6 seems to be the culprit - I backed it down to 7.5.2 and it stopped disconnecting but the incessant update notifications (pop-up Airport dialog, blinking green light on the device) and concerns about security moved me back to 7.6.
I wish Apple do something about this.

Potential Fix to the WiFi connection dropping on MacBook Pro

I, along with a number of other people who have posted here, was experiencing WiFi connection drops after a few minutes on my brand new MacBook Pro, which is running OS X 10.7.5. Rather than going the route of plugging in a static IP address, I decided to look at other options within the Network Preferences. Under "Advanced," I went to the TCP/IP tab and set "Configure IPv6" to "Link-local only." By default it is set to "Automatically." The WiFi connection has not dropped since that change was made. It may not fix all the issues being experienced, but it might help at least some people having the disconnect issue.

Nice post, thanks!

Very slow speeds, bb connection dropping

I had bt BB installed a few weeks ago.
For the first 10 days, I was getting 2mbit down/0.5mbit up.
After 10 days, it slowed down to 0.3mbit down/0.5mbit up.
Around the same time, my BB connection dropped out every 2-5 minutes. At this time I was getting 0.7mbit down/0.4mbit up.
It continued dropping out every 2-5 mins up to every half an hour until 2 days ago. Since then the connection has stabilised (no disconnects) at a speed of 0.5mbit up/0.1mbit down.
My stats are as follows:
Noise margin (Down/Up)

Download speedachieved during the test was - 382 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 100-500 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :1024 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 128 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 500 Kbps
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 83 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 128 Kbps
I know something is very wrong, and I should contact BT to have it rectified. From the stats can any one make any educated guesses as to the problem - a SNR issue?
Much appreciated guys.

I sent an email to the mods but am yet to receive a response. How long do they usually take?

E51 - USB Modemm connections drop

Hello,
Im using my E51 with usb cable to my laptop to access the internet. After 20 minutes or so the connection drops (I still se the connected icon, but no internet).
This is solved if a click on disconnect on the PC Suite and the reconect again.
How can I avoid these drops?
Guillermo

Hi Alex,
First suspect is the infamous LaCie drive.
Does it have an A/C adapter? If so buy 2 or 3 replacement adapters, it's a well known problem.
If it's a Bus powered drive get either an A/C adapter or a Powered USB Hub.

Azure connections drop exactly at the same time everyday.

Hi Guys,
I wonder why all my connections to email server and NOC portal gets disconnected at the same time everyday. The connection drops and my retry logic would not get the connection back. However, the connection will be re-established after a while.
What could be the problem here. Any pointers to debug this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thank you,
AA

Hi,
Would you please share the detailed configuration of your deployment?
Did you create a VPN connection? Is that email server a on-premise server?
If it is related to Azure VPN connection, it would be better for you to contact
Azure support by submitting a billing ticket to better analyze the reason.
Best regards,
Susie
