I've tried the modem and connected laptops directly to it out.

I've checked all the cables and they're fine.

 

No changes have been made in my flat - the internet was fine from April till the start of September. 

 

Using  https://speedcheck.vodafone.de/ I generated the attached screenshot of speed tickets.

Hello Jameswberlin,

 

since your are not the owner of the contract, we will need an authorisation before we can give you any information on the contract. Please send me the filled and signed form in a private message and leave a short reply here.

 

Kind regards

Hello Jameswberlin,

 

thank you for sending the authorisation. The source of the low bandwidth is a high utilisation of the downstreams in the evening hours. Unfortunately, according to the plans the net expansion won't be finished in the next month, so the limited speed won't be corrected soon.

 

Kind regards

Claudia
