New Fibre Install Slow

I have had fibre installed today over my previous broadband only Plusnet connection.
Initial speed tests thru wireless on the ipad show only 1.5mbps, which is up barely .5 on previous and thru Ethernet other computer download speeds are pretty much maxing out on the same level although uploads are much faster.
Will this improve over the next few days as the line is adjusted or is this it?
Thanks
Mark

Re: New Fibre Install Slow

what does the line speed say here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed
it might be that it hasn't updated to your new speeds yet.  you can look here http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ under further diagnostics for what it should be.
if they are different a call PN will sort it out for you.

That's your issue, unless there is a major problem.

Re: New Fibre Install Slow

Thanks very much for your help folks... After the standard 30 minute wait time on the phone they were able to sort it out there and then.
Thanks again... Great customer service
