Poor speeds and cut outs

My fibre connection is problematic lately,my minimum estimated speed is 42 but the best i can get is about 38 and thats on a good day.Myself and my kids are experiencing problems with the connection cutting out and speeds just dropping to snail pace,there was BT guys doing work on our road recently but unfortunately i cannot get full fibre yet according to the checker

Re: Poor speeds and cut outs

I just txt my number to the fault checker on plusnets website and it says it cannot find an account for my phone number?

Is your mobile number registered against your account? If you log into your Broadband account you can check or add it then try again.

Re: Poor speeds and cut outs

@slinkywonka10 - Sadly there is something wrong with your connection and every time I run a test I get an error. We could do with reporting the issue to BTW to investigate. You never know, could have something to do with the speed issues. Before I do that I could do with seeing a picture of your setup, just the front and back of the router and phone socket to make sure we're likely dealing with Openreach issue and nothing internally. 

 

Can you also run a speed test using ethernet and not WIFI please? Thanks

@slinkywonka10 -With SOGEA, you don't have a landline service anymore. Are you able to send over those pictures?

Re: Poor speeds and cut outs

I don't know how to add pictures? My routers not a Plusnet one I'm using a tp link modem router,have used it the whole time I have been with Plusnet and it's been great.

But now my speed is always around 30,when I first moved here 7 years ago I got 60

Re: Poor speeds and cut outs

Cheers, seen them. I'd unplug the phone from the socket as this isn't needed anymore although I can't see that causing the issue with speed. I can't tell you much about your connection stats I'm getting this error message.

 

"Internal test system processing error. On first error please check and then resubmit test request, on subsequent errors please contact the SMC"

 

Because of that, I've raised a fault and you can the history here @ https://www.plus.net/wizard/?p=view_question&id=645294203 .

 

You get an update in then next few days.

@slinkywonka10 

When you reply to a post you have two options to include images.

 

The first is to post "in-line" - above the text box is this icon Image.JPGClick on this and then navigate to the image you want to share.

 

The second option is to attach an image - click on the paper clip below the text window.
