Very slow download speed

So! I am a new customer and already thinking of cancelling my contract. I was promised a minimum of 50mbps download speed as we're all gamers (myself, my partner and my 2 older children) everytime I start a game of COD the Internet goes off and I have orange flashing lights... 

I'm now Tring to download a new game and have been waiting 24hrs already. The game is only 5gb and I'm not even downloading at 1mbps.

 

What the hell! I was pre warned that the connection may drop for the first 3 weeks. I'm on week 5 and have had enough already.

Something very wrong there .

Line attenuation and upload speed indicate 70-80Mbps

 

The noise margin indicates a line fault.

 

Call sky on 150 from your landline or
zero three three three seven five nine one zero one eight from any other phone to get an engineer booked

2nd image isn't needed as those provide no stats and are just your hubs details.

Re: Very slow download speed

I will call them in the morning as my children are asleep and I could get very loud on the phone to them 🤣 I will let you know what they say. I only had it fitted 4 weeks ago so I shouldn't be having this much trouble should I?

@Emmie2291  Sadly line faults can happen at anytime as the whole network is decades old 😞
