Poor Connection

For the last day or so my internet connection has been very poor and I am having dropouts and varying speeds.

I am using the TPG supplied Archer VR1600v router

Screen Shot 2019-12-30 at 7.31.28 am.png

 

My speeds are normally 94Mbps down and 37Mbps up with zero packet loss

I have tried resetting the router and plugging cable directly into the router.

The results are similar across all devices that I have tested.

 

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Hi,

I had somebody from the nbn come out on Tuesday morning, did whatever he was meant to do and everything was fine.

Until it started happening again this morning.

Very frustrating.

Hi,

 

I appear to be having the same issue again.

 

I received notification saying that my issue had been solved and everything has been working flawlessly for the last fortnight up until this morning.

 

If somebody could have a look into this again that would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

Shane

Hi @shanehary,

 

Thanks for getting back to us. We ran an initial test of the service it shows no line fault with passing speed on the line. This is a different issue compared to the previous escalated fault.

 

We'd like to confirm if what device(s) is affected with the issue and what troubleshooting has been done.

 

If the device(s) affected is mostly wireless, we did an article that you may find helpful. This will guide you on how to improve your wireless connection at home.

 

Visit the links below.

 

Let us know how it will go.

 

Cheers!

Most things are connected via wifi although when testing over a wired connection the same thing occurs.

 

I have my modem screen open while monitoring things and my IP address changed at least 15 times today after the connection has slowed/dropped out. The longest it has stayed stable for is about 45 minutes.
