ADSL Latency Spikes/Patchy Connectivity

Hello, as detailed in this thread over on whirlpool I have been having constant issues with my ADSL2 connection randomly being patchy/slow/laggy.

 

I've tried all the usual tricks with a different router, line length to the wall, router firmware, different cables etc and it's still a problem. We've less than a KM from the exchange.

ADSL attenuation/noise stats are strong, when trying to run a speed test I either get my usual 14-16mb/s or cannot connect at all.

 

Line Stats: 

Link Rate	19133 Kbps	1020 Kbps
Line Attenuation	12.5 dB	6.1 dB
Noise Margin	5.8 dB	10.2 dB

TPG account name is same as this username. Getting super annoyed, NBN is apparently coming soon and I thinking about changing provider.

Hi joeruello

 

Welcome to TPG Community! 

 

We're sorry to learn that you were experiencing issues with the connection. I was able to locate the account and have seen that the issue has now been escalated to our Engineering Team. They are still assessing the case and checking all the tests that you sent.

Good day,  joeruello

 

I believe that you were able to speak with the assigned Engineer and was advised that the issue might be a possible network traffic/dataflow issue. 

 

The Engineer has also sent the email instructions in which you can directly reply to. 

 

Feel free to let us know if we can be of further assistance. 

 

 

Thanks!
