2 engineer visits and still issues

Question

I have had 2 engineers come and check why my internet keeps dropping, packet loss and lots of errors. The first time he added a 6db attenuator, second engineer changed the box on the wall and the metal box inside (still had telewest) and changed the attenuator to a 3db one.

I am still having issues getting lots of pre/post rs errors and lots of T2/T3/T4 errors.

Hey cfreeman,
Welcome back to the community and thanks for taking the time to post. I’m sorry to hear of the issues with your connection are still ongoing at the moment.&nbsp;
I have looked further into this and cannot see anything that would be causing the issues that you were reporting on Wednesday, how are things looking right now, have you had any improvements with your connection or are you still having issues?
Kind Regards,
Steven_L

Still having really bad issues, the rs errors have gone up, over 100 t3 timeouts, and the rest&nbsp;

Robert_P · Answer

From checking we can see there are some power level issues for your downstream, this may be causing the issues experienced. But it appears the Hub was rebooted since posting and no errors are currently showing, is the case? Have the errors stopped since your post?If not, let us know and we can arrange for a visit.

I do hope VM check more then downstream power levels when T3 are normally to do with upstream problems
