Hi,

I am facing issues for at least 3 months now. The speed of the 200mb broadband in my area ... it is a joke. Packet losses up to 70% ,  ping jumping to 300. Today I can`t even open the websites.

Can someone let me know what is going on with the connection ? 

The area is Tipton West Midlands.

I have checked everything. I even had engineer 5 days ago. It was fine after he left, not the best but still I was able do what I wanted.

I am paying full price for something that is now working for 3 months ...

It is embarrassing .

kind regards

Filip

HI Filip its most likely a congestion issue, also known as utilization issue... simply put too many people trying to do too much on the network in the area, has been an issue cropping up recently with the stay at home message.

I'm going to post a link and instructions to setup a Broadband Quality Monitor, once you have this setup come back and share a live link so we can see whats happening and when and we'll be able to give some more definitive information.

So to setup a monitor go to this link https://www.thinkbroadband.com/broadband/monitoring/quality and it should be straight forward from there.

You will have to setup an account to use the service which can be done by clicking sign up in the corner or following this link https://www.thinkbroadband.com/register

Hi,

Thank you for your fast replay.

I am doing it right now.

I don`t think that is the issue I am facing.

At the first lockdown it was all fine...

Connect to the hub by clicking on this link http://192.168.0.1/  That should pull up the log in page for the hub.  But don't log in, just click on the link "Check router status"  That'll bring up a window with five tabs.  Open the Downstream tab.  Select all the text (Ctrl-A if using a keyboard), copy it (Ctrl-C), then paste it (Ctrl-V) into a reply here.  Post that, do the same for the Upstream and Network log.  You'll get an error message when you post the Network log, just click on "post" a second time.

Then we can check for any obvious problems with power, noise or error counts.

I am sorry but all I can see after I press Check router status is this...

Do you have a HUB 4?

You might need to login and access what's requested from 'Advanced Settings\Tools\Network Status' instead.
