I am on an EE Home Broadband package that should provide me 17mbps and I have been getting those speeds using the standard EE Brightbox router they provide.
As of yesterday, my speed has suddenly dropped to 0.2mbps with a 30ms ping (speedtest.net). I have also done several other tests and only achieve that result.
Called EE and spoke to their horrible customer service for 50 minutes to only find out that they could not 'complete' a line test.
Tried all the usual solutions but to no avail.
Internet is working, but slowly, does this mean that this is an ISP problem?
Please help!

Have you tried rebooting the Brightbox and what connection speeds are reported in the routers web interface?
Does the telephone line still work and sound as clear as normal for voice calls?

Thanks for replying so quick!
Yes tried rebooting several times:
Downstream Rate: 283kbps
Upstream Rate: 835kbps
The telephone line is clear, doesn't sound like there is any noise/interference

What are the attenuation and noise margin values.
It may be that EE has applied its mysterious banding of the connection for reasons online. Happens more with EE than any other BT Wholesale ISP

Defect/Failure Indication
Operation Data Upstream Downstream
Noise Margin 5.6 dB 24.9 dB
Line Attenuation 10.1 dB 17.5 dB
If they are banding my connection, how do I get them to stop it?

Friend of mine just switched and suffering same speed, but got to wait the ten days to sort. Also suffered half hour wait to connect to the total incompetence and ignorance of the overseas call centre. Has been a nightmare so far.

Push then to get BT to lift the banding. Email will get a reply from UK call centre and more common sense.

It must be the banding. 283kbps seems to be a magic number.

Noise Margin 5.6 dB 24.9 dB
Line Attenuation 10.1 dB 17.5 dB You should be getting about 21 Meg on a 6 dB NM, but they holding you on the lowest banding with that 24 dB NM.
They need to remove the banding.
