We recently had great prompt support from Vodafone when suffering from regular disconnects on our FibreX/HFC connection. A tech came within 24 hours and replaced our modem and carried out some maintenance on the street side of our cable connection. All good when he left but about 12 hours or so later our upload speed dropped from 20mbit/sec to under 2. Despite a call to the Ninjas and some tweaks applied from their end this has persisted. I'm wondering if it is a network problem.

Anyone able to assist?

Many thanks.

How are you measuring this speed? Are you using an ethernet cable or over WiFi? Using a computer or a phone/tablet?

Speedtest on a windows 10 machine with Ethernet connection directly to system router. Vodafone cable modem connects to an Amplifi mesh router. It's been like this for over 12 months. Only in the past couple of days as stated has the upload speed been compromised

Here is a speedtest just now. This should be a 200/20 connection.

Have you contacted Vodafone about this?

@GazzaGazza The issue is not fixed so call back again and insist a fault ticket is logged and don't hang up til you have that fault ticket number written down

Many thanks to Nick. Vodafone handled this promptly and the problem came down to a coax connection that had recently been replaced (up the pole) not making good connection. With that fixed we are as we should be.
