why slow upload speed?

My upload speed when I first signed up to plusnet was estimated at 1-1.5mbps and 16mbps download. My download speed is exactly correct but my upload speed doesn't even touch 1mbps it just stops at 0.6mbps. I know its only estimated but still it should at least be close to 1mbps?

Re: why slow upload speed?

Hi.
I was wondering why my upload speed is so slow. When I first signed up for plusnet they estimated between 1mbps-1.5mbps but my upload speed barely reaches 0.6mbps. Its disapointing because my download speed is brilliant then my upload speed its just terrible? It can't be my line quality because when I did a speed test it came back with my line quality as B* and it says my line would work great with online applications but its just taking forever to upload stuff onto the internet.

Re: why slow upload speed?

I've just checked your account and your upstream speeds aren't capped.  Can you go to http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ and let us know what speeds and profile you are getting?
Thanks.

I have moved your post and the response by Kelly from the another posters problem thread where you posted it as it was creating confusion.

Re: why slow upload speed?

Is their a reason why upload speed is much lower than estimated?

Re: why slow upload speed?

Is your upload speed lower than you'd expect? Can you give us the results of a BT Speedtest (do the further diagnostics test after the first one).

I went to the website you provided me with but the test comes back saying "system busy, please try again later" I tried it 3 times but it keeps coming back with that

Re: why slow upload speed?

From what I can tell your line is uncapped and syncing at over 800k already, it's possible that over time the DLM will improve that *slightly* but I wouldn't expect big increases.

Re: why slow upload speed?

Post and subsequent answers in another thread split off and merged with your existing thread
This is why you should not post about the same problem in several places as it causes staff difficulty in trying to keep on top of problems

Re: why slow upload speed?

So when Plusnet estimated 1mb-1.5mb they knew they were lying then?

Re: why slow upload speed?

Where did we give the upload estimate? Also remember that it is only that, an estimate not a guaranteed speed.
