VDSL reporting – we need your help

| April 15, 2020

In many areas of the UK, all of the HF amateur bands up to and including 20m are being blighted by interference from VDSL. This is the most widespread means of providing residential broadband internet services in the UK. Ofcom, which is responsible for investigating radio interference, says that it receives, on average, only six complaints per year on the topic and won’t take any significant action.

The RSGB President has written a letter in the May edition of RadCom asking every radio amateur who suffers from VDSL interference to submit a complaint to Ofcom so that we can demonstrate the size of the problem.

In addition to the full RadCom feature by the RSGB’s EMC Committee, we have created a special web page that outlines the process for identifying and reporting your VDSL issues and also offers guidance and software to help you do so.
