kinel Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I used to always use a bt open reach modem with my fttc connection till its speeds and pings droped they used to get 67 download 17 up ana 11 ms ping I was getting those speeds consistantly for over a year now if i use it my ping go up too 20 ms and speeds go no higher than 35dl mb and 5 mb up So i have to use my old router in modem mode and i get 67 dl and 17 up and 11ms ping but i want to use my modem again So the question is Question 1 Is there any way i can get those speeds back on my bt modem also Question2 can a modem pick up a virus causing these speeds drops Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretface Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 that sounds like a firmware issue to me. But I'm no engineer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted November 15, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted November 15, 2015 I don't believe a modem can pick up a virus. I'd suggest plugging it on on your line and leaving it for a day or two and see if the ping settles down and you get the speeds back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_smooch Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Have you had a lot of router restarts in a short space of time? I was told by talk talk a little while ago though so many router restarts within a set period can cause DLM system to kick in, that can affect speed and line stability I believe.

Zennon Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Sounds like it has had its day if when you use the TT router is slap bang where it should be. Bin it, I got a Hauwei on flebay for 17.50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zennon Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 If your cab is a Hauwei cab deffo get a Hauwei modem it means you will have G.inp enabled which is fastpath with on the fly error correction. If you buy a ECI sadly it will give you interleaving if you have line issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir_smooch Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 I got the Hauwei BT Modem. Do they only make the one or do they have a few different ones? Would you recommend it as an upgrade over the H635 hub they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zennon Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 There are two modems ECI & Hauwei I would get the Hauwei if you want a modem as it handles G.inp. If your line is working OK as is just leave it smooch. I like modems as I can power cycle my routers as much as I want with no effect to DLM as my modem is always on.

Zennon Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 cheers zennon i was hoping that my Hauwei hg 630 or 635 super router when in modem mode or bridged mode would do the same as a Hauwei modem and enable the g inp on the line cheers again for the the help Yes they should, they would need a firmware update, as would the modem, the router maybe has not had the update yet. So its up to you whether you want to get a modem or not. I would ask on the TT forum as to whether they can update the routers from their end. Do not bother ringing the script monkeys.
