Connectivity Issues and Slow Speeds Since Service Start

Hi there. I changed ISPs on 01/06/2015 from Sky to EE. Ever since the broadband service has changed over to EE, from day one, the connection has been unstable. We were getting constant disconnects, usually at pretty set times of day, but they could also be rather random too. The disconnects were most often happening at around 11am, and then from 11pm until 2am. Which was all quite odd. I've been in touch with EE home broadband customer support who have run multiple line tests, sent out two separate BT engineers and an EE engineer, all who have found no fault with the wiring and are unable to identify any faults on the lines, even though when I call, I'm more often told that as a result of line tests they've found faults on the line. This conflicting information is rather frustrating. Would also like to add that the router is plugged into the test socket and that's made no difference. For the past couple of days we've only had an occasional disconnect, so it is better in that regard, but in its place the broadband speeds have been noticeably slower. Upon running speed tests via browser, I'm getting information like: Download speedachieved during the test was - 9.19 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4 Mbps-21 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 11.79 Mbps Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.69Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.83 Mbps Which all seems fine. However, browser pages are extremely slow to load if they load at all, PSN shareplay won't connect as 'the connection is too slow', videos take an age to buffer, online gaming is hit and miss whether I can actually connect to the server or not. I'm connected to this exchange: https://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange/WSLAK And the details for my router are as follows: STATUS Configured CurrentLine Status -- UPLink Type -- Interleaved PathOperation Mode Automatic G.992.5 (ADSL2+) DATA RATE INFORMATIONUpstream 1022 (Kbps)Downstream 13742 (Kbps) DEFECT/FAILURE INDICATIONOperation Data Upstream DownstreamNoise Margin 4.9 (dB) 6.0 (dB)Line Attenuation 16.8 (dB) 31.5 (dB)

Again, looking at the time connected time, it relates back to the last disconnect which was in the afternoon. Again, the router hasn't been manually reset, restarted, etc. The connection dropped out (the adsl light on the router blinked out of existence and took several minutes to start flashing back on again, before going a solid green, as per usual), and was left to its own convenience to return. Note: Just as I pressed the post button, we lost connection again, but I'll stick with the stats I've already pasted here.

Hub disconnecting and intermitten slow speeds sinc...

so as the title says, one minute the connection will be fine, then it will be really slow, and sometimes just disconnects completly and the orange light flashes on the hub for a while and then it goes back to blue...ive had this problem since before christmas and only had BT for 6 months...not a great first impression of this ISP!
can anyone help here please?

Slow Speeds since Install. Mods??

Any Mod brave enough to look into this one ????
It's gotten to the point of me not trusting a thing Support say and they don't seem to listen to a word I say.
I was told before signing up "Infinity will never slow down"
"The speed we estimate for your line is the speed you will get"
Since having Infinity Installed 04/04/2011, my speeds during the day are good at 35mb,
but slows down every night, sometimes as low as 4mb.
I reported this to BB support,explaining clearly that the connection is fine during the day,
but seems to be suffering from congestion slowdowns in the evenings.
I've been on the phone constantly since opening another fault report on 7th May.
The first few days consisted of BB Support calling me back in the mornings (when the speed is fine),
telling me they changed something and it should be ok now,
followed by me phoning at night when the speed dropped again.
This was escalated a couple of times to the "engineering dept.", still no change.
I soon realised that if I said my speed was fine at the time they asked, nothing was being done.
11th May.
An engineer was booked for my home for the 12th 8am-1pm.
I tell them this was probably a waste of time as the problem only appears at night,
and the line is fine during the day.
12th May.
Engineer calls about noon,very friendly,I explain the problem and we have a nice chat,
line check was good 40/10, no surprise there then.
BB Support phoned me as soon as the engineer had booked off the job,
basically telling me the fault had been fixed as an engineer had been out and found no fault.
I argued that they couldn't say that as the slowdowns only happen at night.
I point out to them I've been using speedtester.bt and ask them to look at the results, they totally ignored this.
Back on phone that night. The vicious circle starts again, another couple of days of callbacks telling me they changed something, and me calling them at night.
15th May.
Escalated again,I'm told a higher level engineer would visit the exchange and then my home.
16th May.
The same friendly openreach engineer turns up at 9am, I just smile and tell him he knows where it is.
No faults on the line and he explains he has nothing to do with the exchange.
Callback from BB Support around 3pm asking if my speed was fine now.
I had just finished another speedtest (7.3mb) so, no it wasn't.
Another engineer appointment made for 17th
17th May.
No engineer. 2 callbacks, go over the same old story. Engineer booked for 18th.
18th May. No engineer. callback that night,by now I know the script by heart. Engineer booked for 19th.
19th May. No engineer. Another booking for 20th.
20th May Engineer calls, we have a chat, I explain the problem, engineer leaves.
By this time I feel sorry for these Openreach guys,sent out to jobs they can't possibly fix.
They could be out connecting other people to this superfast connection that I'm not getting.
Callback in the afternoon,was told the engineer had contacted BT Wholesale, but no further info was given. They asked how my speed was, I ask them to call tomorrow after I log the usual slowdowns with speedtester.

Thanks for your post, but I've already been through all your points above.
I have taken continual speedtests since the install with speedtester.bt as well as others.
The really slow period is usually from around 8pm till 11pm.
The 3 results above are just from last night.
I keep records of everything
The problem is that nobody looks at the speedtester results.
If they did, they could see exactly when this was happening and maybe take the proper action,
and save me going over the same sad story when speaking to the Indian call centre.

Forgot to add
I asked BB Support to have my line monitored as this was happening during peak times,
they totally ignored this suggestion.

Slow speed since connected

I was with sky and getting 28mbps fibre, I decided to get bt infinity 2 and was told I would get these speeds
Your broadband speed
We estimate your download speed will be between 46.9Mb and 63.8Mb.
We estimate your upload speed will be between 12Mb and 18.6Mb. It's been in 2 weeks and I'm still only getting 27mbps. I have ran speed tests at speedtester.btwholesale.com and it says ip profile for my line is 27.7mbps I've reported it and now being monitored and they will be phoning me tomorrow, but I had an engineer out for my phone line last Saturday as advised by bt broadband help no phone fault but he told me he has found a fault with the fibre at the cabinet the ports are faulty and to get an engineer out to sort this well I've told bt broadband help this a few times since Saturday and they won't listen to me all they keep doing is making me do the same tests over and over and last night after they said they have rest my line ( still ip profile of 27.7) has refered it to some service team or something who will decide what to do. This is really annoying after all I've been told there is a fault and I'm paying for a service I'm not getting I should of stayed with sky. Sorry for the rant but nobody will listen I'm only telling them what one of bt engineers told me to tell them.

BT Infinty 2 slow speed since day 1

I have recently upgraded to BT infinity 2, got a new Home Hub 5 previously I had a hub 4 on broadband. When I was on broadband I got a good speed of 16 meg. Now I am on Infinity 2 for some unknown reason I am only getting under 2 meg even though my IP profile and ASDL checker states I should be getting 70 meg plus. I have spoke to numerous persons on helpdesks and had two engineer visits still unable to solve the issue. I have tried rebooting the hub, turning off smart set up, deactivating parental control. My last engineer visit even swapped over the hub for my hub 4 and connected an openreach modem still no change. There is no issue with the master socket as both engineers have tested this and it gives the proper 70 meg speed. This is being going on for a fortnight and I am running out of options to try.

Can you try an alternative speedtest and post the graph, please? http://labs.thinkbroadband.com/ispa/

Broadband slow speed,ongoing since end of april

Hi,i have been suffering slow speeds and dropping out since end of april,i have had 9 engineers out,but still no wiser.
I use a desk top and laptop and have problems on both,running at 8 meg,cant open web pages,or do internet shopping,engineer blames the websites.
i am a 2 min walk from the exchange,
if i take my laptop to my sisters 4 miles away it works fine,and shes only on 2 meg.
I had an it consultant round who did a ping test from laptop to router,and router to exchange,laptop to router was fine,but the router to exchange keeps timing out 19 times in 5 mins,where as my sisters did it once in 40 mins.
i have opened a little square bt box from my socket box to the wiring outside,wiring looks in poor condition with wires not actually connected to anything,engineers say that wouldnt affect it,

Hi Efcpaul
I can take a look at this for you.
Send an email to [email protected] with your BT account number, telephone number and a link to this thread.

Slow Browser (Safari) Speed Since Upgrading to 10.8

Hello- I upgraded to Mountain Lion from Lion last week. I have noticed a signficant slow down in browser performance since upgrading. Very slugish now. I noticed it immediately, but thought I'd give it time and different internet connections. Nope... still very noticeable.
Problem: Slow browsing speed since going from 10.7 to 10.8
Setup: 10.8.5 with latest safari, MBair 2012 w/SSD and 8GB ram - Plenty of disk space
What I've tried: Fixing permissions, cleaning cache, reseting safari, cleaning cookies, DNS (open vs. google vs. standard)
Any advice? Thx.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can. You may already have answered some of them.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they affected?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it the same there?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Slow Burn Speed Since Updating to 5.0.1

Has anyone else noticed a weird change in burning speeds since updating to 5.0.1? It seems to have doubled the length of time that it takes for an nour long CD to burn (around 6 minutes).

I have just wasted eight CD's trying to burn a compilation. A message keeps coming up "Burn speed is too fast for the device or the media" and that I need to get into iTunes Preferences to adsjust the speed setting of burning. I've gone from52X down to 4X and APPARENTLY Mit's still too fast! This never happened before I updated to 5.0.1. I have no idea what's going on.

Slower Burn speed since iTunes 5.0.1

okay, we've got your CD diagnostics up, so skilled passers-by can comment. we'd better also work through some of the other usual suspects:

Slow speeds. Apparently I don't have a bt broadban...

After using bt's own e-form to email them about my long running loss of speed over the year from 2.6mb for the last say 10 years, to 1.6mb (1.4mb at its lowest) download / 0.36 up. ping latency around 0.38 i think, apart from today where its 42.25!! what's that?!
All I've got back so far is:
"Recently you requested personal assistance from our on-line support centre. Below is a summary of your request and our response.
If this issue is not resolved to your satisfaction, you may reopen it within the next 14 days.
Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you. " ....and....
"This is in regards to the e-mail you have send on 20th August 2014. We are sorry to inform you that there is no sufficient information in the e-mail to pull up any active broadband account. We would request you to provide the details of your broadband account so that we can pull up the account and help you further."
Just to be clear, their OWN e-form didn't have enough information for them to find my account??? It asks for my name, address, phone number my broadband is on, email address, my account number (assume its the BT account as that's all I have), plus the problem. What else can I type in if there's no other fields.
So I submitted the form. A couple of days later I got an email back with the above included in it.
1. Why automatically close the call? They hadn't resolved anything, so why close it? The only other thing they mentioned was going onto their Help pages (durr how did i manage to use their e-form in the first place?).
2. No mention of what these missing "details" are. (On purpose?)
So I replied and being a little annoyed at their poor response, which just sounds like "yep dealt with that call within the response time target I got to make".
I've had BT broadband since its inception, even before, but they cannot find my account? Amazing they can bill me each quarter without any problems. So I sent my bt account number again even thought it was included in the e-form. Asked them clearly to tell me what "details" of my broadband account they need from me. More than happy to oblige. Oh, and no I'm not satisfied with their resolution and re-open the call!!
So some more days have now passed and guess what. I get an email with the exact same text!!
I replied. In CAPITAL LETTERS for the hard of hearing. What specific details do you want from me?
I wait in baited breath.
OMG I haven't even got onto the problem of the slow speed issue yet!
I guess they want me to phone (premium 0800 number?), or do something myself. I don't want to phone them as I've experienced the same ol' routine before, life's too short. I've paid the top price for ever, so I would think they could do some of the leg work eh? I mean part of the cost is the support they provide, right? How do you lose a broadband account?
It niggles me is that I pay same price infinity customers do and I'm still stuck in the dial-up speed ages. And don't get me on about those tv ads. Like everyone can get infinity. Yeah I'm still waiting after 5 years that it was coming. Amazing the Isles of Scilly with about 10 people living on there manage to get it quicker than me living in a town in the middle of the UK. I digress...
If I can do a speed test from both their bt.com site and btwholesale speed test and get a poor speed (approx 1.8 max) from exchange to router then I know by the time it gets to my pc its not going to be 2.6 is it.
PS i don't have a master socket/test socket to try. its the old type. And why has the speed just dropped and kept down (like for so many others in this forum), where nothing has changed, at least at the customers end of the line.
I don't expect someone in the forum to come up with the solution, but its more of a rant on my part at the poor response to my request, let alone some kind of investigation into the problem itself.
I work in "IT" and part of it is dealing with calls from customers. If I had dealt with a call like BT had then I'd be getting a ear bashing from my manager.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if you want help about your conenction speed from the forum members then can you post the adsl stats from your router please.
can you try quiet line test dial 17070 option 2 should be quiet nohiss/crackle and best with corded phone if cordless then dull hum normal

Slow speed/high SNR margin after upgrade to ADSL2+...

I have an issue with slow speed that I am suspecting is caused by a high SNR margin (about 12dB) which has come about (I believe) due to the fact that my router was repeatedly reset during the first few days of the upgraded service. The exchange was upgraded to ADSL2+ on 3rd January.
I have a US Robotics 9108 which has worked fine for nearly six years. I was getting around 8Mbps before the upgrade which isn't far off the theoretical maximum.
There was a problem with my router and I only found it to be my router at fault over the last few days. Upgrading its firmware has cured the problem which was that requests weren't being fulfilled once connection had been established, (seemingly particularly when this was ADSL2+ or ADSL2 mode). Consequently, I reset my router in these instances and I believe that this will have been interpretted by the exchange as being due to line noise. In general, I disabled ADSL2 and 2+ modes on my router to force it back to G.DMT and it usually worked fine (albeit slow sync rate relative to that I had before 3rd January).
During fault conditions, the connection synced OK. I recently borrowed a router and tried it and it immediately connected faster than mine had done previously and I could access the web without issue. This confirmed that my US Robotics was at fault, and after downloading its latest firmware, it fixed the problem.
There is no bell wire as there are no hard wired extensions from the master socket. I use a single filter which plugs directly into the master socket (i.e. no extension lead to the filter).
I was using a BT filter (MF50) I got in 2004 when I first got broadband. This came with a Voyager 100 modem and is a rebranded YCL one. I have since replaced this with a Z350-UK which I have borrowed. The US Robotics didn't come with any filters.
With the BT filter, caller display does not work at all when the router is connected in ADSL2 mode. In G.DMT mode the problem with caller display was intermittent. The Z350-UK has rectified the problem with caller display not working when in ADSL2 mode. I have ordered a Pressac Interstitial VDSL Faceplate as a perminant solution.
Do I need to contact the support helpline to get this fixed? Or will the SNR margin drop over time? As I say, I got around 8Mbps before the upgrade.
I am presently connected in 2+ mode and stats are:
SNR margin (dB):
12.8
5.4
Attenuation (dB):
34.0
12.0
Output power (dBm):
0.0

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

            because it is three times faster than wireless.

Very slow speeds and ridiculous email and bill for...

Hi
i have several issues. I have been a very satisfied customer for over 15 years until early summer of this year:
1. My broadband speeds remain painfully slow despite 3 complaints and investigations. In fact my line is still connected to the test line as I was advised to do and I have never had a call back as promised.
2. I have now received an email message to say I have used 90gb at a cost of £50. This is almost all uploads. i upload nothing and this figure is impossible. Until June my usage was quite small and I came nowhere near my limit on option 2. Nothing has changed with my usage since then. I do not download or stream films and do not upload large quantities. I probably would stream films, but the slow speed does not allow it.
3. I spent over an hour on the phone trying to sort this out today, but was not helped by a succession of people who barely understood the situation and had even less understanding of customer service. I have now emailed, but have had a message saying it might be 72 hours before a reply.
Any advice would be really helpful as I am at my wits end
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok....since the original post the problem has continued. I have spent literally hours on the phone to people who say all the same things and never come up with a solution.
The test results are below. I do not experience speeds as reported. And if I use another tester it correctly comes out as about 1 4 - 1.9. or even lower. The upload usage is still showing as high....but it is just not possible. I have now reset the hub wireless key, but I have not shared this with anyone in range. Apple TV is now disconnected after it was going to take 20 hours to download a film!
I am at my wits end with this and really do not want the hassle of changing provider but even after 20 years BT broadband I am so very close to that.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks
Julie
