Intermittent internet issues

@Javai Had time for a quick look at what you had posted before it was removed, but whatever you were doing there was zero lan connection on that hub at the time!

Here is a very indepth speed test program that returns a lot off information, but look closely at all off your upload side and if dropped packets.

Oh it got removed? Odd, well the stats where very similar U0 at 0.7db, though I thought the lower the better (less noise faster connection) so in theory that's a good thing. Yes I had zero LAN connections on the hub at the time, the hub was directly connected into the wall socket on it's own and I was using it's default Wifi to connect with a laptop to get the stats

And yes I have disabled the Wifi on the Sky router as I have a better access point that I use instead.

@Javai Have a look on this, post27 my stat's are on the 40/10 split, the other OP's stability issue on a g.fast line!

That is a worrying thread suggesting I might be without broadband for months 😞

In the mean time I have purchased a 5G router and an unlimited £20 a month Smarty mobile data plan and it is giving me 450Mb download and 50Mb upload, compared to my Sky broadband which was 75/20

@Javai There is nothing worrying about it, just takes a OR Engineer to go find out what is going on with the old Copper connection, and if they wish to spend the time doing so, with Fibre the main focus and getting it out as quick as they can OR have turned there attention to that! Intermittent and poor copper troublesome connections can be difficult to solve, even at the best off times!

5G in a decent signal area will always be better than FTTC: that's the way technology develops.
