Get online support

slow speed and continuous dropouts

Yohann

We moved in April 2018 to a different suburb (3122 to 3146) and had issues with the internet speed and stability.

Tried all troubleshooting but nothing. Same setup (modem, laptops) was working fine in the old house. I'm guessing something not good with the cables to the house?

 

When the slowness starts, ping www.google.com is somtime not reaching. Sometime until the internet completly drops. Right now the speed is around 2.6Mbps download, 56ms ping (bit slow download?)

 

Issues are more frequent at pick hours (evenings and weekend).

 

What can we do?

Thanks.

 

Example of ping:

 

$ ping www.google.com

Hi @Yohann,

 

Welcome to the community!


I was able to locate your account using your community details and ran initial tests on your service. It shows a possible line fault causing dropouts and slow connection to the service. I would like to arrange a call from one of our Technicians for further test and investigation.

 

In case you need a reference: How to send a PM.

 

Cheers!

Should you have a preferred contact number and time, please send it via PM. Thank you.
