My home network keeps going down. It's been happening a lot in the past two months but this week, and especially today, the connection got lost several times. Is there a fault? I am in Amsterdam West

Bekijk origineelHi,
I've instructed Ziggo to cancel my TMobile thuis subscription. With cable there should be no DSL issues. I have a month to try it and see how it works.
I understand that it's TMobile policy/agreement with the network provider and not your lack of will, but by doing so TMobile lost a client.
Best,

Hi
To explain a bridge tap more clearly: early on there were analog telephone lines and often more telephone sets were connected to them.
A line typically had a "connection factor" of 5 and a telephone usually a connection factor of 1.5 (eg T65), an additional bell: 0.5 (if I recall correctly).
All were usually "knotted" together; all devices on a line so that you could listen / talk on each (i.e. devices such as the T65 had the possibility to work together via a 4-wire connection that only has the first recorded connection).
Getting rid of the tap itself is quite easy, however you do need to identify where the tap is located, otherwise you'll be cutting wires which needn't be cut.
Try the following please: the two wires of a (thick) cable that merge into your two wires (four core wires of which two are used) in the ISRA-point. There is a "tap" on it; a branch (second telephone)
Find the "tap" and cut it off. Good luck!
Can anyone reply? Network keeps going down and we can't find the loop.
Can we have someone coming over or call?
It's been going on for months now and we need proper support.
The picture I sent is the plug the engineer sent by TMobile has identified as the entry point of the phone cables. My understanding is that this is what you call the ISRA point, please confirm. He has done an extension (see pictures previously sent) so that we could plug the modem.
Now, I've been asked to plug the modem directly to the ISRA point: can you let me know how do I do that? Can someone call and guide me through?
Also, is the message sent by Brian implying that the engineer has connected the wrong cables?
I am fed up with this: I don't have the time or the wish to start fiddling with cables also considering there is someone paid to do this.
My contract expires in July I am thinking to change provider and pay one that has support available.

Just one more thing.
If you look at the attached picture you'll see that there is no connection between the plug and the cables to which the extension is attached. That's why I don't understand where the loop is.
Thanks

Not sure the picture was actually attached
Hey
Neither blue nor green cables are connected.
Hi
Have you tried to remove the power from your modem and media converter?
There doesn't seem to be a problem.
Hi, yes I have tried that but with no luck. The network keeps going down, twice today so far.

Hi
First off, I'm on your side, I want to help you fix this situation and keep you as a happy customer. Please be aware if the ISRA is not fixed, you'll have issues with every other DSL provider there is. The best way is to make an appointment with a certified mechanic to remove the bridge tap. Another way could be is to place pictures in this thread (as detailed as possible). Then I or another Community user could assist in the situation. It is, however, outside the service reach of us as a provider, so help here is not guaranteed. But don't let that stop you, I'll use my network to the best of my abilities!
Local network meaning WiFi and local cabling is working fine so no prob with the router.
Internet and WAN led lights are off when disconnection happens. Local devices can access WiFi but there is no Internet.
I assume it is a street level issue or something related to the street cabling?
Thanks
HI
Hi, sorry for the late reply.
"So basically your Wifi disconnects several times a day and the Internet and WAN leds are off when the disconnection occurs, is that correct?"
Yes, that is correct. It started happening a couple of months ago -no issues before.
"I didn’t quite catch whether you have a desktop computer or laptop that’s connected via ethernet-cable or not."
No we do not have a device connected via ethernet cable.
A week after I first messaged here, the network has been reliable again but started going off and on again last week, worsening from Thursday onwards.
I would appreciate your feedback as this issue is disrupting our work a lot (we have video calls etc).
Thank you!
Fran
Update: I have connected my laptop with ethernet cable and there was no internet access while the network was down. So it's not just wifi
Hi
Hi,
Pls see pictures attached.
The router is plugged into the white socket. However the entry point is the round green socket (ancient phone copper wire). The white socket extension was installed by a T-Mobile Engineer.
Disruptions are more frequent during peak times but randomly in the evenings too.
Thanks,
Fran
Sorry, pls see photo of the white socket
Hi
Hello,
We have switched the router on and off a few times in the past two weeks and we only had a couple of disruptions.
However today it's been really bad and the internet dropped several times already despite the router been switched off twice.
Can we get someone to come over and have a look whether the issue is on your side? It's been a long time now and it's disrupting our jobs :-(
Thanks

Hi,
Any news on when we can get someone to have a look or call?
Any chance the problem could be the router and you could send us a new one?
Internet keeps dropping, now also in the evenings.
Thanks,
Fran

Hi Jason,
Can you please book a technician to come over and fix this issue?
The disconnections are more and more frequent and are affecting our ability to work, there's no possible action on our side as we do not have access to any connection outside of the apartament.
When will you be able to send a technician to fix this?
Thanks,
