Broadband off net constantly dropping out

Over the past week my home service has been awful. It either constantly drops out or some days it doesn't come on at all. When it does, it's painfully slow. I have turned off and on the modem several times, removed the filter to no avail. I don't run a home phone so that isn't the problem.

 

I don't beleive there is an issue with my modem however, NBN installation has been happening in my street recently and I've had issues ever since so I think it might be a street cable issue.

Hi Riezl,

 

Thank you so much for the reply.

 

I emailed the TPG helpdesk as well yesterday and they told me that they checked the line and apparently it's on my end. Funny thing though, when I got home yesterday it was running. It's still a little slow but there were no drop outs overnight.

 

NBN were cleaning out the cable trays the other day which I think has affected the service. I have also purchased another phone cable to run from the filter to the modem so will replace that over the weekend and see how it goes.

 

If I still have troubles after this, I'll get in touch.

 

Thanks again,

Jamie.
