frequent ADSL2 dropouts in the last 3 weeks

[Kenzo]

Hello, hoping a staff member can check my line for problems, username xxxxx.

In the last 3 weeks or so, my ADSL2 connection has experienced frequent dropouts, could be anytime of the day, I've had it at 11am, 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 11pm, 1am, 3am. My modem will attempt to reconnect and it usually only takes 2-3 attempts, but it may stay connected for a few seconds, a few minutes or a few hours. Also, it frequently reconnects at 6Mb instead of full 16Mb that I usually get.

There's been no changes in my home setup for years, and it's only been so noticeable in the last few weeks, so unsure of cause myself. Modem is Billion 7800NL, used for last 2 years without problem. Thanks for any help. It's dropped out multiple times as I was writing and posting this message.

Hi @Kenzo ,

Welcome to the community!

Thanks for raising this to us. We ran an initial test on your connection and it shows multiple dropouts and a possible line fault on the line.

We would like to confirm if you are also having issues with the home phone service like static noise or no dial tone. If so, please raise this to Telstra to check the line as it affects your Standalone ADSL2+
service.

We'll wait for your response, let us know how it will go.

Cheers!

Thanks for getting back to me Shane.

No problems with phone line. I just picked up the phone and there's dial tone, i called it from my mobile and picked up the call, there's no static. I also get lots of pesky marketing calls on my home phone so I know it's working fine.

A Telstra tech visited earlier today and fixed something out on the street, and so far it's been good, hope it holds! Thanks to the team for the quick action!
