Re: Slow FTTC. Profile Half.

Npbody has responed from PN , i remember the days problems were answered within a few hours Sad seems alot of people are getting problems, now im on the TV trail too , thing is if i watch FOX HD i cant browse the internet without having to wait 3 hours for pages to open (over exageration there) , but 16mb speed test in the evening and 24mb in the mornings i used to get over 55mb on Infinity yes it used to slow down abit in the eveningd but not @ 19mb. and these tests are from a wired laptop with nothing connected via any wireless or wired. poor i would say , phone is fine my greenbox is a 4mi walk up the road so im close to fibre box. line is new as when i was with BT they replaced my ali with copper as i was getting lots of problems.
come on plusnet help would be good

Re: Slow FTTC. Profile Half.

I notice from your screenshots your running your speedtests over wireless, are you able to run them wired and post the info needed as per this link: http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,96155.0.html
If you can also try using the test socket that would help eliminate wifi issues and internal wiring issues and help narrow down where any fault may lie! Appreciate it's a bit of a hassle but it's all vital fault finding info!

Ah no problem that's fine! I don't use windows so never 100% sure!  If you can post your router stats that would be great

Re: Slow FTTC. Profile Half.

Hi markeagles1973,
I'm sorry for the late reply.
If you're having any issues with the TV Trial, you'd be best popping a post on the TV Trials board. With regards to the speed of your broadband - I've tested the line the connection speeds are as follows:
Downstream Speed: 37.2 Mbps
Upstream Speed:       7.2 Mbps
These are the speeds that your Modem is receiving from the Fibre Cabinet. There may well have been greater uptake in FTTC since you were connected with BT Infinity or perhaps Crosstalk is interfering with your connection.
Crosstalk: This is where Copper and Fibre may be running side by side for example and are causing interference one way or another which can impact your speeds. BT Openreach are currently in the process in running a 'Vectoring Trial' which should alleviate this problem over the next couple of years.
Do you get these speeds connected directly into your Modem as per this <a href="http://community.plus.net/library/broadband/fibre-help-how-to-set-up-a-pppoe-dialler-in-vistawindows-7/">guide?</a>

Re: Slow FTTC. Profile Half.

At least you have something - i had fibre 'installed' last week and it has never even connected to the internet. My speed is 'not connected'. Using a smartphone just to post on this forum.
