Broadband absolutely crawling!!!!

Hi,
My broadband is absolutely crawling. I normally get 33-35mb down and 6-7 up and I'm getting 4-5mb down and 3-4mb up. Its been like this since dinner time. Ive reset my router twice to try and resolve it but no joy. The plus net service status is showing nothing wrong. Any ideas?

Re: Broadband absolutely crawling!!!!

Unfortunately at this time of year there tends to be more faults due to the wet and windy weather causing problems on the network, it's the same with any ISP. Have you all reported your issues to us?

Its back to normal speed now. I think it was slowed down on purpose tbh as its always at night it happens. Can you tell me the link to file a report as can't find it on the website.

Re: Broadband absolutely crawling!!!!

SAME AGAIN!!!! This is unacceptable. I NEED my broadband, hence why i paid the extra and went fibre. Its currently downloading at 2.3mb , a far cry from the 47mb i was promised , and the 38mb I've had to settle with. Despite me complaining, despite promises galore at sorting it out , its just not stable.
I was told its not the speed that they promise , but the service. Good honest broadband??? NOT EVEN CLOSE!
