Using typical out-of-the-box settings, it's of the order of 4 packets per device every 12 hours or so.Ĭompared to the thousands of packet per second your average networking device can shift, even basic SOHO ones, DHCP is almost nothing. If this is an intermittent issue then it may be someone using a device every now and then.ĭHCP generates a trivial amount of network traffic. So if you have a MW radio knocking about turn it on and see if you get lots of “noise” on the line as it were.Īlso mention RAIN interference to your ISP as they may have some form of team that can assist. I was flabbergasted that this could cause so much problems and over such a big area.
They couldn’t tell me which house for privacy reasons, but once they have narrowed it down to a particular property they spoken to the owner, explained the situation and then replaced the faulty power supply and within seconds everyone’s Broadband in the street jumped to 5+ mb/s. It turned out that someone in my Street (small rural country road) was using a faulty step down transformer (for a foreign electrical product I have to assume).

It is actually possible to do a simple scan yourself using a portable MW radio but I had nothing of the sort so had to wait for the results. They eventually sent out a Rain van which scanned the local are for RF interference which can and does play havoc with Broadband. More calls than I care to remember to CS and I was finally given contact details of a dedicated team based in the UK for issues that weren’t being solved with the usual processes.
Speeds of around 1-2 when we should get between 5 and 7. We had real issues with our BT Broadband when we first moved into this house.
