VERY SLOW speed after installing my Fibre Broadband

As in the topic I have very very slow speed of my fibre broadband. An engineer told me 1 hour ago that I'll have nice and fast connection because I live 10m from the Fibre Cabinet. Plusnet advisor told me that I will get speeds as follows :
Estimated download speed: 79 Mbps
Estimated upload speed: 19 Mbps
While I'm getting only 4Mbps..
Is it normal ?

Plusnet probably need to update their profile manually. Sometimes their profiling system doesn't catch up with BT's.
I'm sure someone will be along soon to take a look.

Re: VERY SLOW speed after installing my Fibre Broadband

I've just changed you over to the Fibre Product and your speeds should now be sorted.
Please restart your Plusnet Router (not the Openreach Modem) and the speeds should be much improved.

Yes. It is much better now Smiley BT Wholesale Broadband Performance Test shows 36Mbps. Now I can calmly wait to get full power with 78Mbps.

Did you run the further diagnostics from the BT performance test? We'd like to see what it says for the IP profile both up and down.

Re: VERY SLOW speed after installing my Fibre Broadband

I've got an order in place for you to be moved to 80/20 as there was a mistake with the initial order that was placed. You should notice full speeds to be restored by the early hours of tomorrow morning.
I've provided feedback on the agent who placed the order.
