Slow upload speed

Hi, my upload speed is very slow at 0.29 Mbps. I heard on this forum that you could get it uncapped, how would I go about doing this? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Slow upload speed

It depends upon whether you are on a 20CN or a 21CN exchange - on 20CN it is chargeable, on 21CN it is free.
If you post your router stats we should be able to tell what your situation is. If you are using a Plusnet supplied router this will give the required information: http://192.168.1.254/cgi/b/dsl/dt/?be=0&l0=2&l1=0

Re: Slow upload speed

That looks very much to me as if you are on 20CN - faster upload costs £7.83 a month on 20CN. What does http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome say for your available options? You are looking for WBC ADSL 2+ being listed.
What is a little odd is that 0.29 Mbps is a bit slow for your current upstream sync. Is that using a wired or a wireless connection to the router?

Re: Slow upload speed

For some reason, it won't show the upstream line rate. Using a wireless connection.

Re: Slow upload speed

Does it list WBC ADSL 2+ or does it just list ADSL Max?

Re: Slow upload speed

In that case your only option is Max Premium which costs an extra £7.83 a month. More details at http://trials.plus.net/
Other than that you will have to wait for the exchange to be upgraded to 21CN or Fibre to the cabinet to become available. http://www.superfast-openreach.co.uk/where-and-when/ might have some information about that.

Gone for the Max Premium option. Never even knew there was such a thing. Thanks for your help!

Re: Slow upload speed

I think you should be able to get a little bit more out of your current connection. Try running the Thinkbroadband speed test using both a wired and a wireless connection to compare - I suspect the wireless may be affecting it.

Re: Slow upload speed

I was hoping one of you would pick this up as I know that pool isn't checked that often!
