Loss of internet/slow speeds

$

0

Hi,

 

Can someone help i am at the end of my tether. For roughly 4 days i have had intermittent loss of internet every 10/15 minutes and when i have internet i'm only getting 4mps, with 0.1mbps upload. 

 

This morning my internet went off from 9am till roughly 12:30pm. I tried the tester socket for an hour and nothing at all. So left it on the master socket and it then connected eventually. 

 

I've done speed checks through my account and line health checks. The health check is saying 37mbps and not picking up a fault. 

 

Can someone help?? I'm paying for tv and broadband i can't use and i'm at my wits end


Ongoing Fault not Fixed By Openreach now over 2 months old

So to give some background to this subject:

 

On the 1st of August i reported a problem with my land line and fibre, i.e both no existent, after the normal run through of line tests, the support people duly booked and engineer to attend the property on the 13th August, an Openreach engineer attended and deduced that the problem was with the incoming line to the house and that he would organise another engineer to attend the following day to carry out a dig.

 

On the 14th August another Openreach engineer attended the property and dug down outside the property and now deduced that the line from the pavement to the house was damaged and needed to be replaced, he spray painted along my drive verge where they would dig and replace the existing cable and I even signed a consent form, told it would be about 7days to replace. In the meantime he managed to connect a spare core in the existing cable to give limited speed broadband (2mbs) and telephone line.

 

Fast forward 2 weeks and when no one had attended I contacted the live chat and explained the problem, again they carried out the normal line checks, went through all the back story to be told they cannot contact Openreach directly and were sure it would be carried out shortly.

 

We this has been the ongoing case for the last month, I phone / contact support they carry out line test after line test, dont read the notes on file to say where is my replacement cable!! Complaint now lodged with Talk Talk and Ofcom, and yet another Openreach engineer deployed on the 26th September to the property to tell me that I need a replacement cable!!

 

This is now getting beyond a joke you have had nearly 2 months to resolve a repair, when a manager says they will ring back they dont, any mention of compensation is quickly pushed to one side, I have basically been without fibre or very limited that fluctuates between 2-10mbs max for 2 months, I dont want any more line test carried out you know what the problem is, now get it fixed or I want out of the contract, surely I have some rights to terminate after nearly 60 days if problem not resolved.

 

For the record I have been with you for over 16 years, just goes to show there is no loyalty shown back to your long standing customers

Connection drops

a few times over the past few weeks I've had both the broadband light and the internet light go out on my router, after a recheck of all leads to make sure they are in the right place,and a reboot I get a connection again,,most the time! sometimes I get a connection for about ten minutes and I need to reboot again, after that it stays stable for a few weeks  or so and then drops again,is there anything I can do? I've had quite a few engineer visits and cannot afford any more at the moment, is there a fault on my line again? or is it the router is packing up? thing is, I seem to get through routers like there is no tommorrow

Fiber speeds drop

Since we upgraded to fiber we were averaging between 55 and 60mbps but from today the speed as settled at 41mbps average. A engineer was lookin at the line today outside so not sure if it's down to that and have reseted the router. All speeds were done wireless and wired 3 times a day. 

 

Thanks. 

fibre speed boost not working

Hi,

 

I renewed 2 days ago with the understanding that the fibre speed boost would be included. It is showing on my account, but not on my broadband speeds. I chatted to a couple of representatives yesterday, went through the "turn the router off for 30 minutes" routine, had my line checked from their end - all was in order.

 

They suggested the new wi-fi hub would solve it. It arrived today. It didn't solve it. My speed is pretty much the same as before the boost. 

 

Wired connection. Master socket. Someone help, please, before the 20 day "i changed my mind" is up.

 

"We estimate your download speed will be between <73.6> and <65> Mbps. Your actual download speed may vary depending on the quality and length of your line, wifi connection and also how many people in your house that are online at the same time. Your actual download speed may also be lower than the range that we have given you. Your minimum guaranteed download speed is <59.9> Mbps"

 

This is from the new router.

Faster Fibre Speed Boost and New WiFi Router Firmware

$

I upgraded to the new Faster Fibre with speed boost this week, but it is the same speed as my old connection, does it take a while to come online? I notice it doesn’t show under boosts on my account either (only super safe is shown). Also my new WiFi hub is still on the SG4K10001400t firmware, reading some other posts on here I think that is quite an old one? Does it just update itself eventually, or do I need to request an update?

Connection Drops Randomly

So for the past few weeks my internet keeps dropping connection at random times, it comes back on in less than 5 minutes on it's own. It can be a pain when trying to play online games and keep getting disconnected also happens when watching netflix and video crashes/buffers. It not a major problem so far but a really starting to get annoying. 

 

All my connections are plugged in properly and I've tested both Wireless and Wired, and still get same problems.

Router upgrade

I'm on Faster Fibre package but the HG 635 router is struggling to cope with up to ten WiFi devices (2 phones, three tablets, a laptop, TV and set top box and a printer) that can something all be connected at the same time - is it worth upgrading to the the new router and if so how much does it cost (I've read that it's standard with Faster Fibre new customers)?

Sagemcom Fast 5364 Not Issuing IP Addressess Needs Regular Reboot

Please could I get some help with our TalkTalk Wi-Fi Hub?

 

For the past week we've been having issues with the Sagemcom Fast 5364 not Issuing IP Addresses. Which can only be resolved by rebooting the Router every day sometimes more.

 

I think it might be a fault with the Router itself because we have a solid connection to the internet with 68mbps download and 19-20mbps upload speeds.

 

WiFi signal is fantastic, we have 3 Tablets, 2 Phones, 2 Smart TV's and Sky Q running. All were working really well until a week ago. The problem is really apparent with the PlayStation 4, which is connected via Ethernet directly to the Router.

 

I get an error message saying "Failed to issue IP address in time" once I reboot the Router the issue resolves for a while.

 

I've had the PS4 looked at by engineer, apparently there is no problem with the console as I connect directly via Ethernet. had Sky Engineer check our Sky setup and again they report no issue with that.

 

I wonder if it would be possible to get a replacement Router please? As both engineers have said it is highly likely there is a fault with Router itself.

 

The Firmware version: SG4K1000260

 

Thank you

 

 

 

 

 

 

Random Disconnects and Upload speed dropping to 0

Hi,

 

Over the past few months I have noticed periodically the VDSL upload speed is dropping to 0, which basically means my internet is down, and is resolved by me rebooting the router. I have tried three different routers in that time the latest being a DrayTek, and its the same, so I have been living with it.

 

Now for the past few weeks, I've been getting random drops for about one minute at a time.  

 

Any help ?

 

Ta in advance

Access Denied to Samsung Software Server

I have posted this issue earlier this week, but not specifically acknowledged, so here i go for a second attempt.

 

My Samsung Tablet will not access their Software Update Server through my home network. I get an error message network or server error. I can access through EE mobile network using my mobile as a hotspot. Does anyone know why I am likely to have this problem with this particular device. Other make of devices I have do not present this update problem. I am thinking the issue is all pointing toward a TalkTalk Network Issue relative to my Samsung Tablet?

 

Comments will be gratefully received.

I received my WiFi hub from talk talk, previously I had a super hub in bridge mode connected to an Asus RT N66U and to this was connected a Asus RT N16 in repeater mode which is essentially a wireless bridge, now the new wfif hub is setup I have removed the RT N16 repeater and replaced it with the N66U in repeater mode, it scans for networks and see the WiFi hub and connects to it and I have network access but no internet, any ideas what I am missing ?

WiFi Hub no power

My new WiFi hub has been working great for about a week no problems and has such a better coverage than last one, but this morning when came downstairs i noticed the light was not on at front and can't get any power to it. I've tried resetting and changing plug sockets etc to see if it made a difference but not worked. I'm really disappointed as just signed up to renew contract because I was so impressed with this router and performance I was getting and now it's not working. Can someone please help? Thanks. 

Just how buggy is the "Our game-changing Wi-Fi Hub"

$

So far since joining TalkTalk and using the "game-changing WI-Fi Hub"

1, Cannot change its IP address due to bug on saving "IP Pool End invalid IP Address"

2. Does not connect to devices on Lan unless you unplug each one and reboot.

3. Does not save friendly names.

4. Does not change IP address even though saved in reservation list and rebooted.

5. Does not remember that you set the led to off and hit apply after a reboot.

6. Does not remember any settings set when you have saved and restored a conifg file.

7. After a reboot loses connection with devices on the Network, they have to be individually rebooted to connect again.

In 30 odd years of using IT I have NEVER experienced such a buggy product.

The "Game-changing WI-FI Hub" really should NOT have been released to the public as the software is clearly still in its Alpha stage and has not been properly tested.
