SamKnows RealSpeed test
Hi,
I'm on Virgin's 1gb and have had dropouts from the start (Hub 5). Samknows used to give 'correct' info but is now reporting apparently incorrect info. I've lost count of how many engineers (I think 5, not including those that replaced the external cables) I've had visit and 'correct' the faults only for them to return almost immediately (every time) once the engineer leaves. All hardware (except the router - engineer reluctant to swap even though that was what I requested) including ALL cables/hardware inside and outside the house. Some of the engineers decided to attenuate, last engineer said that the Hub 5 should NOT be attenuated. Last visit was yesterday (09/08/2023), engineer not happy (after 3 hours) with the fact that he could not get my 'equipment' in spec. He said that the Network guys need to now take over (whatever that means). Yep! You guessed it, dropouts are back!
