Short outage every 15minutes that last 15-30 seconds?

[m1ghty]

I am located in Cammeray, essentially North Sydney area, and around 2 weeks ago our NBN has these short bursts where the internet just cuts out completely. It is horrible for online things, we all live online these days right? 

I have set router/modem to factory reset and done fresh wizard setup, so I have cleared up it being a modem issue. I believe the NBN is cutting out in my area. 

Anyone else having their TPG NBN cutout like this in Sydney or North Sydney? ohhh and i should mention I am using both ethernet cable and wireless, so its not a wireless that is the issue, as I know members might suggest check the wireless... 

Thanks

I can't see the send message button. Please reach out. I'm having the exact same issue.

Speeds are fine, then suddenly internet speed will drop to nearly 0-4 mbps and be unsuable for a few seconds. This is impacting my WFH video calls etc.

This ONLY started happening since lockdown in Sydney.

Please fix this. Otherwise I'm switching providers.

Hi Riezel, thanks for the reply. I decided to ring support as I wasn't finding anything online showing outages in my area. To summarise TPG is sending me another modem in the post as my modem was the Huawei from 2017 and they think that might be the issue, moden breaking down. They now send out a TP-Link modem, so hopefully this solves the issue. 

The fact that I use ethernet cables and had done a factory reset on my modem, as well as the technician running tests on my line that showed no down time in the last 24 hours was pointing to it being the modem. 

Thanks
