Broadband constantly dropping
Issue:
Since moving house 2 years ago, my broadband connection keeps dropping. When it happens:
All router lights go out (except power).
Service can take up to 15 minutes to return.
Each reconnection gives me a new IP address and often a different location (e.g., Northampton, Aylesbury, Milton Keynes, Hayes, Luton, Bristol).
Troubleshooting so far:
Started on 150MB broadband — issue occurred.
Sky checked the line — no fault found.
Router replaced — issue continued.
Upgraded to full fibre (completely new line, cabling, ONT, and Cat5 to router) — issue still continues.
Examples (last 24 hrs):
Router stats (current):
System uptime: 01:52:07
WAN uptime: 01:49:23
Connection speed: Down 999900 kbps / Up 115000 kbps
Request:
Can you investigate why the connection keeps dropping and why my IP location keeps changing despite being on full fibre with new equipment?
