Broadband keeps dropping

MoonBrain
Tuning in

Hello,

Since yesterday evening, my broadband has been dropping frequently. I have followed the instructions in resetting the hub, but this has not made a difference. The Service Status page reports no problems in my area.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Also try the “free & automated” Service Status number - 0800 561 0061 - which usually gives the most up to date info. and tells you of more local issues down to street cab/ postcode level.
The "compensation "timer" can also be started on this number.

Faults may not be listed on the Area Status web page. Areas are not Geographic” they are "legacy billing" areas) and as such that usually only covers faults affecting 1000’s of customers across the country. So 0800 may give you more info, on local issues - but even that wont cover problems affecting just a few customers - or just you.

If nothing shows on there, try calling it in as a fault (free on 150 VM line - or 0345 454 1111 others - national rate) and see what they say when they test your connection.

Also.... What Hub model is it? What are the various Hub lights showing/doing when this happens if a Hub3 is the base light a steady white(ish) or flashing green?

Finally is it just wifi connections that are affected - or do ethernet cable connections drop at the same time? If you dont know - can you test that ?

Hi MoonBrain,

Thanks for posting and sorry to hear you're having some issues with the broadband.

I've not been able to find any detail for you from our side, have you been through the help jbrennand has suggested?

Let me know if there is still an issue.
