Hi all
I have noticed for might have been the past few days sluggish responses on web page access and a tad of buffering watching youTube.
I checked the BT Wholesale speed test and got this:-
D/L 2.58 (used to be >3)
IP Profile 3.47 (fairly sure this was a little higher) NB on PN my current line here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed speed is 3.4 !
U/L 0.29 (this for sure was higher!)
IP Profile 0.83
My Router reports connection speed 3936 kbps i.e. 3.9Mbps
The Gateway has changed (sorry did not record what it was) and is now one I have never heard of gateway psb-bng04
So what gives........................I have had a very long period of decent >3Mbps connection but not by comparison for me bumping along on something like 500 to 700kbps less.
Not good
Any insight and feedback would be much appreciated
PS not a most recent BT test but this is the sort of level I have enjoyed:-
- Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
Download Speed |
|
3.55 Mbps |
|
0 Mbps |
4 Mbps |
Download speed achieved during the test was - 3.55 Mbps |
Upstream Test: -provides background information.
Upload Speed |
|
0.67 Mbps |
|
0 Mbps |
0.83 Mbps |
Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.67Mbps |

Looking over your line, the profile dropped down towards the end of November. This may have been due to a few disconnections or errors on the line, it increased again on the 16th however as you've been connected continuously since before this increase the speeds haven't come through to you yet.
Try a single disconnect/reconnect of the router and you should see an improvement.

Hi Chris
Thanks for the reply and checking my connection
I will do a discon/recon later today and post back with the results.
Edit ~ looks like there was a reconnection sometime since I posted the OP as now on gateway psb-bng01
Edit2 ~ FWIW I have rerun the BT speedtester and now I get:-
D/L 3.54
U/L 0.83
I wonder if as the system did a discon/recon whether I need to do one (again) myself as these figures are much more like I was getting & should be getting Oh, no idea why but I could not get the BT speedtester diagnostics to show!
Though my IP profile on PN still shows as 3.4Mbps.............so a mismatch from actual speed vs IP figure, a PN reset perhaps???
