Request to PlusNet to adjust my line please

Hi PlusNet Staff,

 

Can you please increase my line speed back to normal because its around 2mb slower than normal as mentioned in this thread post 22:

https://community.plus.net/t5/My-Router/BT-Home-Hub-5-Type-B-on-PlusNet/m-p/1342108#M481

 

Also what profile am I on at the moment? I like to be on a profile best suited for online gaming.

 

Thank you,

Hi very452001,

Thank you for getting in contact with us over the forums. If you are looking to game online I would recommend looking at upgrading to one of our fibre packages which are available to you.

Re: Request to PlusNet to adjust my line please

Your line is syncing lower than I'd expect, it's also erroring quite frequently.

 

Lowering the SNR or removing interleaving really isn't an option with the line performing so poorly.

 

It's currently well below the estimates so I'd advise reporting a fault.

If you go through https://faults.plus.net - go through the options for slow speed.

Strangely after reporting the fault as advised my phone line is not even working. Not even a dial tone and my internet has gone way slower.

 

Please help Sad

OK from checking the fault there is an estimated response time from our suppliers of the 29/06/16. We will have an update on the fault on the 30/06/16

Ok cheers for the update, however in the meantime how come the problem got worse straight away after the 1st fault was reported and fixed resulting in me reporting this 2nd fault.

I have unfixed the thread as the fault has not yet been resolved.

Re: Request to PlusNet to adjust my line please

Engineer came earlier today to sort out 2nd reported fault outside my house. So far the phone line has come back and I got the dial tone however my Internet speeds are still super slow at 4mb instead of the usual 13mb I use to normally get.

 

Why is that?

Re: Request to PlusNet to adjust my line please

As I suspected, we just needed to reset your line following the engineer visit. If you try a single disconnect/reconnect you should see an improvement.
