Broadband too slow for share play??

evening everyone,
I'm a gamer and spent a lot of my spare time on consoles especially PS4.
I have been fairly pleased with my broadband service so far but have recently attempted share play and it appears my upload speed is far too slow to establish a connection!
I have set the console on the DMZ, restarted the router and also changed face plate to try to squeeze as much out of the line as I can but nothing I do this end is making a difference.
Can plusnet do anything about this?
Thanks

Re: Broadband too slow for share play??

please post the stats from your router as it may be that the upload can be uncapped

Of dear - it looks as though this could be expensive
If you put your phone number in http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/ what does it say about WBC on 21CN
I suspect it says it isn't available and in which case the only option is Max Premium which will increase your upload to 832kbps

It looks like the exchange has skipped 21CN - but is childed to Downham Market for FTTC.

Re: Broadband too slow for share play??

I'm not certain. The bt engineer said it wouldn't come to us as we don't have a cabinet near us? All I know is We're directly fed from exchange at Marham

You can double check from http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/ - if you put in your number it won't give you a cabinet number if you're on an exchange only line.
