Naked ADSL2+ slowing download speeds

[gizmorusso]

Hi I've been getting dowbload speeds of around 1-1.5Mbps the last few weeks. This has been slowing down from a peak of 10Mbps in February 2018 to now. I am on an unlimited account and we can barely stream anything or load websites now. I have changed nothing recently and I have tried resetting my modem/router numerous times but still slow speeds.

Hi @gizmorusso,

Welcome to the community!

I was able to locate your account using your community details and ran initial test. Result shows no line fault on the line unfortunately the speed is not passing based on your location's distance to the exchange.

What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Please try to do the following troubleshooting below:

• Isolate modem/router alone to the wall socket
•  Try different phone cable
•  Try different Wall socket
•  Power cycle modem/router

Let me know how it will go. Cheers!

Hi shane I have done all your suggestions, still slow. I had 10Mbps a few weeks ago so the distance to the exchange is irrelevant.

Hi all,

So I had Telstra Tech come the other day and found no issues with the lines as thought previously. I then had another TPG tech come and inspect and test again, he found that it was an issue with my modem/router (only 10 months old). I checked and it had auto updated firmware to the newest version which now has issues and slows my download speeds. I have replaced my Netgear D7000 with a new one and now speeds are back to normal. Thanks to all involved.
