My TPG ADSL has been having random dropout before but since yesterday it is completely dead.
I am very sure has nothing to do with my modem as I have been swapping modem and nothing works.
Even in rare moment, I am able to connect the speed is very slow. Urgent help needed as we need internet both for work and school.

At last my internet is up & running.

 

Kudos to 3rd technician who did a very thorough diagnosis, and narrow down the root cause to being outside of my home.

Prior to the 3rd technician's diagnosis, I was told I got a bad modem & I went on modem shopping spree. Kudos to TPG staff who has been very patiently trying to help me setup a brand new modem though we fail to get the internet to work, and for scheduling the 3rd technician promptly.

 

I cross my fingers & hope for smooth running of my internet from here onwards.

Strangely last night my ADSL internet came back up alive without anything done on my side. TPG technician came today & nothing wrong with my cabling at all apart from slight corrosion on the phone socket that he just brush with paint brush. So currently, my internet is being monitored for re-occurrence.

TPG close my fault ticket after 2 days of stability.

 

For the last 2 nights & tonight I experience dropouts again, 3 consecutive nights.

Reported 2 nights ago & I am getting really annoy by this un-explain dropouts.

 

TPG, pls do a thorough investigation into dropouts that I have been experiencing lately.

And, don't close the ticket just because there is 2 days of stability & then start dropping out after fault ticket closed.

Hi annietan1,

 

Our current line test shows no evident line fault that can affect the stability of your service. Our system has also detected a stable connection on your modem.

 

Is the connection drop outs happening via LAN or Wifi? 

 

Thanks!

Dropout occur before 11pm (10ish), now already alive.

Laptop connected via wifi & only 1.5m away from modem.

Mobile phone also got disconnected during dropout.

 

These short spur of dropouts tend to happen at night.
