Very low broadband speed

Hello
I rejoined BT three weeks ago having spent two years with Zen. I was with BT prior to that and had moved to Infinity with sppeds of about 26Mbps - not great but adequate.
Nothing changed when I moved to Zen. Obviously the cabling and exchange was the same and no upgrade or modernisation has been carried out. The speed therefore remained the same.
I have had problems though since I moved back to BT with the broadband dropping out regularly. After about 8 calls to India taking up hours of my time and two engineer visits the fault has apparently been rectified.
Quite what was wrong seemed to chamge on a daily basis from a "missing port" in the Excchange to "noise on the line" to a "problem with the cabling on the telegraph pole".
The issue though now is the speed which has dropped to about 9Mbps. This seems bizarre if nothing has changed at the excahnge or with the cabling and is certainly nothiong ner the promised 30Mbps?

I reported the faulot and they are noiw saying that it's the Router.
Bizarrely though I came home at 2 today and the internet is back up and running.
It has got even slower though. It's now just over 8Mbps which is nowehere near what Infinity should be.
I've done the Wholsale Speed Test and it tells me:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 8.25 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 6.81 Mbps-8.52 Mbps .
Additional Information:

This cannot be right as it reached 27Mbps just over a month ago

Another very low broadband speed connection

Hello all.
Got the BT Home Hub3 installed last November and was pleased with 4.5-5Mb speed but since around Christmas the speed seemed to continually halve until right now it is consistently around 0.4Mb.
There has been no other installations relating to the phone line either.
I have tried disconnecting other devices using the phone plus reconnecting the router to the other phone socket but no difference and gone through the simple troubleshooting advice.

Very slow broadband speeds

Hello
My first post, and I'm hoping that someone will be able to help me with this.
For a few days now, I've been experiencing very slow broadband speeds (100kbps or less), in contrast to the 1.5 - 2Mbps that I would usually expect to get. I've been on hold to BT technical support for some time, and have got through twice, on both occasions being told that this is a widespread issue and to wait until the next day. However, I'm not seeing any improvement. I'm aware of the problems in Edinburgh and the North of England,but I'm in East Anglia.
speedtester.bt.com shows:

I hope this is enough information, but I'll happily supply anything else if I can. The uptime of 1.5 days is the time since I was advised to restart / reset to defaults etc.
Thanks for any help.
Deej.

Once a line is stable and working well, it's best left running 24/7
Interventions like resets, replacing accelerators, unplugging the router etc. will cause line "flapping"
And the dslam sees this as instability, and in turn the BRAS lowers the IP profile ....
This is done to achieve stability, and decrease throughput purposefully, all done automatically.
What you have to do, is cure any line noise, plug directly into the master or test socket behind the NTE
faceplate, leave it connected and wait for the throughput to increase.
Very often a rock bottom IP may need a kick to get it out of the doldrums.
Eventually the noise margin will decrease, sync will increase, and IP profile go up.
Depending on how long the line has suffered impulse noise, will determine the time for SNR to come down.
Regardless of which type of phone you used to test quietline ... hum or crackle is a no-no.
It may be the cause of the problems. It could be REIN on the network portion of the connection or dslam
crosstalk, either way it needs to be reported as line noise before you can count it out of the equation.

I'm with Sky, and have had very slow broadband for a while now. Above are the statistics from the test socket. Sky seem to think there is a problem with the line. I've now plugged the router into the main socket.
Any help would be appreciated.
**EDIT** My phone line is with BT, my broadband is with Sky. The problem Sky says is with the phone line it seems.

Hi Joe,
Try sticking your telephone number into this line tester page and let us know if it finds a fault. If it comes back clear, you'll need to go back to Sky as there'll be no issues with your telephone line. If it comes back with a line fault, we can get it progressed towards a fix

Low Broadband speed = line fault?

Hi,
We have had a very slow download speed since the high winds started last week (live in a rural area about 1 mile from exchange).
I have run through the BT Broadband speed wizard & not improved the speed.
ADSL Speedtest results are:
Download speed achieved - 194Kbps
                           Acceptable = 50-250Kbps
                           DSL 3424Kbps (downstream)
          448Kbps (upstream)
                           IP Profile = 250Kbps
Now, I don't know what it was before - but this appears to me to be pretty slow!
If I understand the notes correctly? for 3424Kbps we should be getting 600 to 7150Kbps throughput speed?
All I know, is that pages are taking an age to load...
Any thoughts on what to do next please?

Very slow broadband speed and random disconnection...

I have a problem with my home hub and broadband connection. The download speed is ridiculously low at only 768 kbits per second. I have been running speed tests all week and the speed has been getting gradually slower and slower starting at around 1.4mbits and lowering to between 0.4 and 0.8 mbps.The broadband is also losing connection every so often.
This has been happening for a few weeks now, ever since the broadband and phone lights on my Hub turned orange, then continually flashed orange, went green then went off and then back to orange, flashed orange, then green then off and this cycle repeated until I restarted my Hub. Upon restarting the power light turned solid red and did not change. So I restarted it again. This time it rebooted properly (or so it seems to have). Before this the hub was (still slow) around 2mbps although this was much better than the speed now.
I have a BT home hub version 1.5. I am on Bt Broadband option 3 meaning I should have unlimited broadband. Reason why I am asking for help is I am getting lag when ever I play games on My xbox 360 or browse on my laptop. Im in scotland, dundee in the DD2 post code area if that matters.
I have not tried plugging directly into the main telephone socket yet but as I have been using BT for well over 4 years and not had as little speed as this Im doubtful its due to interferance.
Any help would be fantastic. I just want to be able to play my **bleep** xbox again

Quick update: Well, I moved my hub and have plugged it into the master test socket... Couldn't connect at all wirelessly, so I had to phone up the BT helpline, they changed the wireless channel and I got on after that (however the assistant said that my plugging into the socket should not have disabled the wireless.) As for the speed, well, needless to say there is little to no improvement. I cannot post my DSL stats, as I cannot even connect to my home hub via the ip address and the bthomehub.home address as the connection times out.

I have noticed that the DSL downstream speed has shot up remarkably (by about 4000) since plugging it in to the test socket, but for some reason, the IP profile is still very low, I would have expected it to have went up at least a little but it has remained the same for the past 2 days now should I be concerned with this or give it some more time?
Oh and I have an engineer coming to the house on friday, turns out when my parents were installing the broadband accelerator they inadvertently knocked out the wires to the extensions and now none of the extensions in the house are working so I hope he or she can resolve things with my speed and I will update on Friday evening, and again next Wednesday(after the 5 day period) to see if the IP profile speed has improved.

Low broadband speed (narrowband)

On the 14th of January I lost my telephone service and obviously my broadband.
I telephoned the help line with my mobile phone and after speaking with an Indian lady in India for 45 minutes she said she was going to run some tests and please would I not use the telephone or the broadband while she did it. I informed her that I had said right at the beginning that my telephone and broadband was not working, se then said that she now had to pass me onto a different department!
I was put through to another lady this time in England who told me what the problem was in 2 minutes. Why can’t you have your call centre in this country so that the staff can understand the problem?
On Wednesday 19th January an engineer called to fix the telephone line and I can now use the land line telephone.
That evening I switched on my computer and the broadband was working but extremely slow, I called the broadband help line and they ran some tests and got me to do some things like re-cycling the router etc.
I borrowed a router (the same as mine) from my friend who lives 3 doors away, we plugged my router and then afterwards tried his straight into the master socket, we tried 2 different computers and 2 filters, all had the same symptoms broadband speed or 135 kb/s.
An engineer was sent out on the 1st of February and he said that he would not leave until it was fixed. He left saying that I would have up to 11 MB/s within 24 hours.
Today I have 250 KB/s
I have now spent in excess of 8 hours on the phone and I have not got anywhere.
Every time I phone the broadband help i am told that I have to wait another 24 to 48 hours for it to fix itself
It is now Saturday 6th February and my download speed is 144 kb/s
I have now been without broadband for 24 days
My line speed is 11 Mb/s but the download speed is capped at 250 kb/s (from the bt speed test)
How many more weeks do I have to wait - nobody at BT cares
I am a very unhapy non user.

If the password on the card which was shipped with the homehub doesn't work or the password page doesn't let you in, try and reset your home hub (Stick a pen into the little red button and press it) and then try what John says

Very low upload speed on Skype?

I had low download and upload speed on Skype for a while. I have fixed the download speed by resetting the settings. My upload speed is still very low. A speed test says I have 18 mbps download and 5 mbps upload. My download speed went from about 5 kbps to 150 kbps after the reset. My upload speed, however has stayed at about 5 kbps. Please help me.

Yes, that doesn't look good.

Very Erratic Broadband Speeds

Hi everyone,
About a month ago, my broadband speeds went down to around 1.5mb from around 6.5mb. I rang Bt and they said that my profile was incorrect so they reset it again.
The speed went back to normal for about a day, and ever since then, the speed has been very erratic, averaging about 2mb, but with the speeds sometimes going back to 6.5mb and sometimes going down to 0.8mb.
This is very strange as 6 weeks ago we consistently received a speed of 6.5mb at all times.
I have tried resetting the hub, changing filters etc and nothing is working, BT say there is no fault at there end, but the fact that the speed does sometimes go back to normal, proves that there must be an issue.
I ran a wired bt wholesale speed test & diagnostic a couple of hours ago so that should be logged with BT.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many Thanks, Adam

Capped (very slow) broadband speed after line repa...

Hello,
I have just had my BT line repaired due to a fault on the line 400 metres from my property. However, although the line is now fine and there is no crackling and a normal dial tone, my broadband speed seems to be capped at 273 kbps download and 811 kbps upload speeds. It won't go any faster. Before I would get roughly 2.5mb. My noise margin is 8db (it has always been quite low) and line attenuation is 58.5db (I am a fair way from the exchange).
Is there any way to manually reset the IP profile so that it goes back to normal or do I have to wait until the exchange server thinks my line is "stable"?
Any help much appreciated...
Many thanks.

Low broadband speeds, connection keeps dropping

Recently I have seen broadband speeds drop from about 11mb to about 2. this is coupled with the home hub 4 constantly dropping the connection and the orange power light flashing orange.
Bt have been here but claim no problem on the line.
I am starting to think this is related to the latest firmware upgrade. Is there anyway to roll back to test this theory. Or does anyone have any other suggestions.
Thanks
James

Very slow broadband speed 128kbps

I've recently switched from plusnet to BT broadband, and have experienced very slow broadband performance, I have run the usual tests, (BT speedtester) including plugging directly into the test socket behind the BT openreach socket. BT did indicate that there was a fault when I contacted them, but notified me that the fault was resolved, however I am still getting only 128kbps. IP profile for the line is 2Mbps. The latest conversation with BT indicated I have that the noise margin is too high now. I attach connection status report from homehub. Any suggestions welcome.

Very Slow Broadband Speed for 2 months, and very U...

Hi
I know exactly how you feel (Giza). I took out BT Total Broadband and had it installed on 02/12/2010. Day one I have 6.75 mbps, which was great as my previous provider only gave me 5 mbps max. So I was well please.
Then day two it dropped to 4.35 mbps, not much to worry about, just though as it was Friday the network would be busy. Then on day 3, I was getting 0.65 mbps, and I have battling with BT ever since.
I have had the usual c**p from BT in India about moving the router due to interference etc, but of course non of them worked. Finally they advised I needed an engineer to come out, so I booked it for next working day between8am and 1pm, he arrived at 12.45, so a good job I took the day off work.
All he did was re-wire by master socket, called a help desk and told them to reset my IP profile, and was going in 30 minutes. He just told me to keep and eye on my speed as it should get faster within 5 hours. 48 hours later still at 0.65 mbps. So once again called BT to be told they are still working on the problem and will contact me when it is fixed. Two week later, still no increase in speed.
So I called them and they apologise for not getting back to but they were very busy. Their solution was that I needed another engineer to visit. So again I book the next available slot, but this time for afternoon slot 13.00 to 18.00 hours, so I only need half a day off work (obviously BT don't realise people work).
He arrived at 13.45, and he seem very knowledgeable to the other guy, and he even advised he had worked for BT for over 28 years. He check the line coming into the house first then the same test at my socket, and advised there was not problems there and my line was above average quality and I was on a ADSL2 21C exchange (whatever that means), so he decided to go to the cabinet at the end of the my street, he was gone about 45 mins. He came back to advise it appeared I was cross-communicating with another circuit. He did another line test, but had to call the help desk to reset my line again as it was not giving his little box of tricks access to my full capacity.
Buy the time he was done it was 17.45, and had got me up to 10.9 mbps hand-shake with the exchange (I was so please I could have kissed him), and rang through to another help desk to reset my IP profile again to increase my speed, but as it finished at 18.00 he waited to see if it was done, but did say it can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 5 hours for the request to be processed.
So left the computer on, and did some chores. Now when he left my router had been connected for over an hour and a half and he advised there should be no reason for it reset. At 18.15 the router crashed, when it came back the hand-shake had gone down to 9.6 mbps, but my speed was still at 0.65 mbps. Then at 6.30 the router crashed again, then again, and again. Finally came back on at about 19.00. The hand-shake had come back at only 4.55 mbps.
Then at 19.30 I got a call from BT to say they were calling to see if I was happy with the service and had the engineer fixed the problem. Funnily enough just as they called the router crashed again. So I advised them of the above, and was told to do a hard reset on the router (use a paper click to press the reset button). Waited till I was re-connected. I was then told to test my speed at speedtest.net. Which I did, and I was getting, wait for it 2.35 mbps. The woman on the end of the phone advised, there you go it is fixed.
To which I clearly advised was not the case, and I should be getting 8.5 mbps as per the engineers advised. She all she could say was she needed to speak to the technical team and call me back. Which I was surprised she did at 20.20. Next action is to have another engineer come out and check the fault.
So now I am on my 3rd engineers visit, booked for this Friday afternoon. I did call the help desk, and asked for my service to be cancelled as I was that mad and upset about the service, but was told that as it was not BT's fault over my speed (god know's who's fault it is) I would need to pay for the remaining 15 months of my 18 month contract, but if I got the engineer to note on my account on Friday that it was their fault, I could cancel free of charge.
So been at work all day today, and though I would check my speed. Hand-shake now at 1.15 mbps, and my speed is at 0.65 mbps once again.
While writing this, I did not notice my Hub has once again crashed, and is just sat on yellow for Broadband. Of course if you are reading this I got it re-connected.

Good fun isn't it
After all that I would (including your other topic )
1 ask for a new hub or try another router if possible
