Slow Upload Speed

Hi,
My PlusNet broadband was activated around 3 weeks ago and the download speeds are fine at around 10mb/s but my upload speeds have always been low at around 0.3 mb/s and it causes some issues for gaming online on the PS4 / uploading files to Dropbox etc.
I raised an issue with PlusNet who found a fault on the line and had it fixed on Friday 28th November but nothing has changed with respect to my broadband speed.
Any ideas what could be the issue ? I'm plugged into the master socket and have tried a different router and different filters and have no problems with my download speed, just upload.
On speedtest.net I once saw the upload spike to 1.5mb/s for a moment and then swiftly drop back down again.

Re: Slow Upload Speed

You need to raise a ticket asking for the upload to be uncapped - it may be picked up here tomorrow which may be quicker

I've just placed an order to request that your upload speed is uncapped, this should complete tomorrow.

Re: Slow Upload Speed

Could I also have mine uncapped? I've only been with PlusNet a number of hours and a bit disturbed to see that uploads are capped. Dropbox upload is more or less non-existent at the moment

Your forum account doesn't link to your account username. For this reason, can you raise a ticket on your account for me and post the ticket number here - i'll then get it sorted for you if I can (by which I mean if you are on 21CN not 20).
