Hi @ Jessejames616 ,

 

There are different types of dropouts that you may experience:

 

1. Network dropouts, this dropout is caused by a line fault on TPG or NBN's network. Affecting all device(s) LAN/Wireless connected to the modem/router this may require a real-time test and investigation by our Technicians and Engineers.

 

2. Wireless dropouts, this issue only affects the device(s) connected via Wi-Fi which can easily be fix by doing adjustment to the modem/router's settings.

 

3. Dropouts caused by ongoing outage in your area. 

 

In the event that you experience dropouts via Wireless/Wi-Fi connection, we recommend having a read on the following articles:

 

• Troubleshooting a Slow Internet Connection

• Easy Steps to Improve Wi-Fi Connection In Your Home

• Wireless Channel on your modem - what is it and why should I change it

Hi @Jessejames616,

 

Thanks for sending us your details, I was able to locate the account and ran an initial test.

 

The result shows that the service is connected for 2d 6m with no dropouts reported.

 

In the event that the issue affects the devices via Wi-Fi it could be caused by Wireless Interference.

 

We did an article on how to eliminate this please see the links below.

 

You may also check this thread.

 

Let me know how it will go.

 

Cheers!

Yeah.. me too. Have the top tiered plan (100) and was working fantastic since NBN installed a yearish ago. But the past week has been horrible!! Dropouts and sooooo slow to load up any page. But nothing showing in the Network Status as any issues. Have reset the router/modem, change ethernet ports - anything I can think of but it's still crap. So frustrating.
