Re: Slow Fibre

Any speed results? Have you test via wifi or ethernet? Double checked any random background programs etc?

Re: Slow Fibre

Hi Katief,
Can you run the same speed test via ethernet cable to the router please. Could be a potential wireless problem.

Re: Slow Fibre

Is says the acceptable range of speed for my line is 7.72 Mbps - 11.03 Mbps
When our fibre was first installed we had faster!
Upload is 0.71 Mbps but it says our upstream rate  is 20mbps !
What is going on?

Re: Slow Fibre

No news and tonight I am thinking of getting a 3G dongle as I am now under 1mb! So slow it's painful!
Certainly not receiving the fibre broadband I am paying for!
