It's magic wink

Nah, simply get the estimated postcode for the cabinet from Codelook and then "walk" the streets with google maps. Cabinets are USUALLY on or close to corners of street junctions, but not always.

For some reason Sky told Openreach there was a fault on my line. Just had openreach here.

Told him about the drop outs and he did a few tests. Had to pop to my cabinet and reset the circuit as his equipment would not connect through my socket. After the reset it connected fine.

He said my line is 650m. Thats from my socket to the cab and its 4.1km to the exchange.

Anyway this is my stats now

Broadband Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 35469 kbps 7295 kbps
Line Attenuation 26.4 dB 0.0 dB
Noise Margin 6.1 dB 6.6 dB

It may change but lets see how it goes I suppose.

That's because there was one. The Openreach engineer should have fixed the fault and then reset the DLM. If the fault wasn't fixed, your speeds will drop again.

I'm afraid to say that's not always the case. CP's will test and test and test again until they manage to record the one test that 'comes back with an odd result', this way they can pass the fault to Openreach. You turn up as the engineer and it tests OK before, during, and after ....... It's all part of the 'game' that gets played these days.

I hasten to add that this may not be the case in this instance but ....
