Broadband down ?

Hi, I've had no connection for the last 2 hours, is there any maintenance going on in the hd1 area ?
I've reset the router numerous times, no light for Internet.

Re: Broadband down ?

It looks like the order for fibre that should have been cancelled has actually completed. Can you try using the new router we sent and I'll go get an order placed to move you back to ADSL.

What?? You've got to be kidding me..I sent the router back as requested.
How long will the move back to adsl take ?

I'm afraid it's a 1 week order, so it won't be until the 11th. I'm really sorry for the problem and I've made sure that the advisor who should have cancelled this order has had feedback passed to their manager.

I'm finding it difficult to formulate a response without the use of expletives.

Re: Broadband down ?

I am sorry this has happened, however this isn't an order we can speed up I'm afraid.

Re: Broadband down ?

Thanks to a helpful guy on chat my issue has been addressed, considering the circumstances, he applied a little brain power with common sense and came up with the best solution.

Re: Broadband down ?

I was sent the new Hub one on Friday which supports both adsl and fibre, I'm assuming I'm on fibre until I get switched back to adsl,  but my download speed has remained the same as adsl.

Should this be the case ?

What speed does the Plusnet Line Speed show at https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed

 

This is the ceiling to the download speed.

Re: Broadband down ?

It just confirms what I already know :

 

Estimated line speed:5Mb (This may vary between 4.5Mb and 6.5Mb)

 

Checked on 2016-04-20 12:35:01

 

Current line speed:5.4 Mb

 

 

Fibre should be quicker than this, I'm supposed to be switching back to ADSL today, would have been nice to see what my line was capable of, my upload speed has increased to 16mbs.

Re: Broadband down ?

Well the 16Mbps upload speed indicates a good FTTC link. Check it against the BTW estimates at the DSL Checker at http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/ to see the range of speeds. You do sound fairly close to the cabinet so a reasonable expectation would be a high download speed.

 

I guess as Plusnet are switching you back to ADSL they felt no need to alter the line speed.

Re: Broadband down ?

Yeah thanks, the cabs a mile away, must be Plusnet...who knows what's going on Crazy3

 

Thanks for that link, very useful, I'll bookmark it in case PN start to offer shorter contracts (or are forced to by Ofcom).

it's the main reason I cancelled the fibre, 2 year contracts are no good to me.
