Sluggish Broadband Connection Since Issues at Exchange

[welsh_rocker]

Approximately 2 weeks ago there were issues at the local exchange which caused failure in the Broadband and Phone service due to a Power failure. This issue was resolved quickly however since this has happened I have noticed that the Broandband connection is sluggish and is taking longer to load certain websites or download content. Also my broandband Download speed has gradually dropped in the last 12 months again from 48mbs previously to now 44mbs. What would be the process into getting Openreach to review the equipment at the exchange for any potential faults.

Good Evening @Highlinder please see the stats from my router below.

As per my original request the connection is currently sluggish and seems to be gradually losing speed since the failure of Exchange equipment within the area.

@welsh_rocker  What is the system uptime on the router? This helps us see if the connection dropped during the period the router was up.

When was the last time you re-set the router, as it looks like from the LAN uptime is has been over 1900 hours uptime.
