What are you expecting us to say exactly? What�s the provider? Exchange?
|

Provider: The phone co-op (business) over a talk-talk line.
Exchange SWHV
Connection sync about 6000 Kbps Down and 1000 kbps up
Speedtest results (when able to test) about 2.4 Mbps down and 0.1 Mbps up (ping >200 ms)

Have Co-op spoken to TalkTalk then?
|
|
|
|
That will be my next phone call (It is now after 9 AM)
|
|
|
TalkTalk LLU then?
If so maybe phone coop need to buy more capacity from TalkTalk

The Post Office released me from an ADSL contract because their backhaul via Talk Talk was so bad.
From what I have read Talk Talk business offer a reasonable service.

Whoa.
Ditch them and run!

If it helps, this looks to be provider specific.
Here is a graph from a line we have on that exchange.

The line is quite heavily used and the usage reflects on the latency seen but nothing as bad as your base latency it seems.

I think I may have advised you on these forums about your problem at the time...
The exchange in question has Talk Talk LLU so different .....yes this would be a (Wholesale) Talk Talk business line.
Just been back on site and noticed the incoming line to the master socket is cable tied for a few 10's of metres to a 3 inch square metal duct (mains electric by the looks of it). The building is an ex-agricultural warehouse; I could not find the point of entry of the phone lines, it may be a locked side room (landlords office).

You'd be surprised how many lines run in close proximity to power cables with no noticeable affects. Do the stats show heavy errors ?

Looks to be an issue with coop not talktalk, I can be a pure talktalk line on that exchange is running fine. Coop will have only purchased a very limited amount of bandwidth, this is usually the case with ISPs, but clearly when you are as big as BT, TalkTalk etc you have the customer volume base that still a fairly large amount of bandwidth needs to be purchased.
I would personally get them to switch to an alternate provider, I personally recommend a larger entity, such as TalkTalk business, BT Business etc where congestion is rare.

Just the man...

Errors
No significant errors although it looks like DLM is increasing the upstream margin and upstream is where the error seconds are occurring.
I did set the modem to ADSL2 mode to see if that was more stable but I reverted (first Sync on the graph) to ADSL2+ at about 11:00 this AM.
I wonder if there is more that one factor at work here congestion and REIN or SHINE

My thoughts as well talk talk business all told look very reasonably priced for static IP, call features and call package, I would personally switch to them if available on my exchange. (BT businness on NON LLU 20C exchange)

I'd agree that there doesn't seem to be too much going on there .......
I'd *possibly* (grand order of [censored] covering by the boy Zarj as ever) go with your first hunch and think congestion .....
Not much help, sorry.
|

go with your first hunch and think congestion
And if a member of openreach were to attend the property.....connection speeds are fine..... could that be the prognosis of these dedicated members of society? or would/could they investigate further?
|
|
|
You got it .......
Most unusual for them to investigate throughput issues .... Though not 100% unheard of.
Lots of new boys on the park. PQ test and be damned I'm sorry to say. Still a few old timers out there, but they are thinning out.

For ADSL Openreach ends with the copper loop, so all they can test is that the loop is working, congestion is down to the DSLAM owner and backhaul network owner as your phone line is dedicated capacity.

I presume an upgrade to FTTC may not improve the situation...its all about purchased bandwidth.I am due a phone call from a higher level tech support today.
I am working on a "not fit for purpose" and being released from any exit fees

If the exact same provider then likely to not improve much, but depends on how they buy from their wholesaler.
In short if everything points to congestion a provider change is usually a good start.
