Re: First Connection

That looks fine to me, the downstream speed is a little below your estimate but the connection is subject to a 10 day line training period so you should see that improve a little.

Re: First Connection

A Little disappointed with speedtest results so far. Struggling to get over 14.8Mbps, when I was always getting over 16Mbps with my old ISP. Upload is even worse, speedtest was always over 1Mbps, but is now struggling to get over 0.35Mbps.
Is this likely to improve after the training period or do I need to get a different modem/router?

Was told the TG587N v2 I had was better then the TG582n, but wouldn't know what to get at a reasonable price.

Re: First Connection

I believe that the upload speed for new ADSL2+ connections is capped at 448 by default - but you can ask for it to be uncapped (at the risk of a slightly slower download speed).

Re: First Connection

We can certainly get the upload speeds uncapped for you?
Once the initial training period has completed, I'd be more than happy to take a look at things for you?

Re: First Connection

Not sure at the moment that I want to sacrifice download speed for upload.  Probably just need to get use to it  Undecided
Would have preferred to use my TG587n v2 as it seemed to have better wireless signal but all the options to set it up mentioned my old ISP.

Re: First Connection

It's unlikely to have much of an effect on your downstream speeds to be honest.
It's completely up to you of course, it can be added (takes 24 hours) and removed(further 24 hours) if you just wanted to try it Smiley

Re: First Connection

May be worth a try then.  I know I am waiting on static IP as well.  A couple of games I play online are easier to set if the IP is static.

I assume the uncapping will happen after the training period?

Re: First Connection

Hi there,
We'll uncap it as soon as the phone order has completed, unfortunately we can't place any further orders while that's ongoing.

Re: First Connection

I've placed an order your upload speeds to be uncapped.
I should have posted earlier as Matt had seen an order there and wasn't aware it was an order I'd already placed for you!
Should all be sorted for you tomorrow morning Smiley
