Fibre extra slow download speed

therealmadrid — Thu, 16 Sep 2021 09:08:06 GMT

Hi,

My tenant is reporting poor download speeds (max 5mps) to download an microsoft iso from microsoft website using chrome.

Also reporting other slow downloads across the board - never seen a download speed better than 5mbps.

They can a wired test and it said 70 mbps - GREAT
Also ran a wifi test - 6.88 mbps (not good)

Yet absolutely crippled downloading anything when it comes to it, works as a music producer so downloading music, songs, files - from drop box, mediafile, other share, chrome etc.

They use wired connection. Can anyone have a look into this and any ideas - what the point in paying for the top package when none of these speeds are evident when you actually come to want to use them.

Hiya @therealmadrid, I'm really sorry for the issues being experienced with your tenants service.

I have tested the line today has detected an external phone line fault and could be the likely cause of the issues being seen. I have now raised this to our suppliers for further investigation and we can expect to have further updates within 48-72 hours, though it may be resolved before then.

I am very sorry for any inconvenience this causes in the meantime.

I have created a fault ticket here: https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=217999083

This did work for a while - but tenant reporting poor download speeds again.

4.26 download speeds - mostly notable slowness on Ipad and iphones.

Hiya @therealmadrid, thanks for getting back to us. I am really sorry the issues with the service have returned, I have tested the line today and this hasn't detected any faults and we are seeing a sync speed of 76.3mb.

Are they seeing similar speeds over a wired connection too, or is this just over WiFi? If only the WiFi speeds are affected, I can amend some of the routers wireless settings to split the wireless frequencies, to try and help with this for them. Please just confirm if you would like me to do this?

Thanks for getting back to us @therealmadrid

There's loads of factors which can affect the WiFi signal even though your flat is small and you're right next to the router

Can you ask your tenant to give the steps Here a go? As per Lauren's response though if they're happy with it we can make the changes on their behalf, we'd ask rather than just do it because it can cause the devices to disconnect and they'd then need to reconnect to the wireless afterwards.

HI,

Spoke with tenants and passed that information on. They replied they are getting 2 bards out of 3 on their phone when standing right next to the router.

iPad had the same problem, the wifi inconsistent with speed and strength, its not being blocked by any appliances either. Cabled speeds are great still, just wifi issue.

Can someone go round and check?

Hi @therealmadrid,

I'm sorry to hear that there are still some issues with the Wi-Fi network there. I've just had a look at the router settings and it doesn't seem like the networks have been split. I can do this from our end of things if you'd like?

Yes please

Thanks for getting back to us @therealmadrid. I've carried out this process now, so the residents should see their normal Wi-Fi network (which will be the 2.4GHz banding) and an additional one with the same name, but with "_5GHz" at the end of it (this one being the 5GHz banding, obviously). Hopefully this helps improve the wireless experience, but please let us know if there are any issues and we'll be happy to help out.
