Broadband choppy since Fibre upgrade
Since my fibre upgrade broadband has been intermittant and weak. My extended TV sky box in rthe other room no longer works as the signal is too weak. My laptop, Music Sonos and wifi enabled phone don't work in the kitchen either. They do mainly work if I am within 10 feet of the wifi but this never was a problem before I upgraded. Also I get intermittant cut outs every hour where even being near the wifi router doies not solve it. So I have called Sky and they sent me a new hub. I got a new ethernet cable and Sky checked their end but they said is no issue and won't send an engineer so far. I have worked on technology for 20 years and such a case tends to suggest that the issue is the connection between the Sky service and my fibre port. This needs to be looked at by an engineer so I am disapointed they won't help. Does anyone have any ideas (rebooted factory setted and changed hub)
?

Re: Broadband choppy since Fibre upgrade
@Trevojon the lights on your ONT and hub will indicate issues. The ONT should have steady green lights for power and Passive Optical Network and a green light for LAN which varies as it responds to data passing. The LOS light should be out. If the LAN light is varying data is being sent from the ONT to the hub. The standard SR203 hub has 4 lights which should all be green they are power, wifi, internet and phone.
What happens to the lights when you lose connectivity?

Hi Chrisee thanks for your follow up. So all lights on the hub stay solid green even when connectivity is lost. The 3 lights on the fibre box also stay green.

Another thing - doenload speed near wifi is about 12 mbps. In the kitchen its about 2. Which I guess why TV in litchen is choppy then freezes. Reboots seem to help sometimes but I hjave givgen up rebooting as it comes and goes anyway

Re: Broadband choppy since Fibre upgrade
I have set up a ping of google and it shows clearly the itermittant nature of my connection - here is an example - you can see length of time to ping grows and then it timesout before slowly recovering. Typically most download tests are showing 100 mbps but then it drops to 10 which creates the increased TTL below
