===Diagnostics you can run from a computer:===
These are tests you can from your computer, some of them (eg the ping) will need you to use a command prompt or terminal to enter the commands. Do get in touch if you need help with how to do that.
* '''Run a BT diagnostic test:-'''▼
*# Always worth running a test, even if LOS light is off - there could be a problem further upstream and Openreach may already be aware or we'll need to report a fault:▼
*# Our Control Page will allow you to run an 'End to End' test, this may if Openreach's systems detect a fault, in which case, do get in touch. eg: <tt>GTC_FTTP_SERVICE_1005 Possible fault in the Openreach network.</tt>▼
#'''Ping tests:''' <br> running ping tests from the 'command line' can help see if there is any strange loss or latency. <br> ''Expected results'': The ping results should show 0% loss and the latency should be below 20ms, any thing else would need further investigation.
## '''ping your router:''' <br> This will test your local connection. eg, if your router (gateway) is 192.168.0.1 then run this to send 100 pings: <syntaxhighlight>(on windows) ping -n 100 192.168.0.1</syntaxhighlight> <syntaxhighlight>(on Mac) ping -c 100 192.168.0.1</syntaxhighlight> and let us know the last few lines containing the results, which show any loss, the latency and jitter, eg:<syntaxhighlight>
## Search Youtube for a '4k test' video, and see if that streams smoothly - there are various nature/landscape videos that are high quality and should stream nicely
