Upload speeds dropped

Hi all.
It seems my upload speeds have dropped about 5Mbps since last night.
Normally I get just short of 12Mbps. This morning it's just over 7Mbps.
Anyone else getting this problem?
Cheers
Nathan.

Re: Upload speeds dropped

Everything normal here on 80/20 FTTC (17.88Mbps upload measured just now).
Do you get the same results on the BTW speed tester?

Hi Blight
I'm on FTTC too. I should of added that. I just did the BT speed test with the following results.
Download: 50.98Mbps
Upload: 6.93Mbps
Further tests showed : Upload speed achieved during the test was - 6.93Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps
I miss my 12Mbps upload Sad

Re: Upload speeds dropped

Hi Cubey,
Upload speeds as with downloads can vary but given the amount that's decreased by I'd best advise you to raise a fault:

Re: Upload speeds dropped

But your download speed and download BT IP profile are the same as before?
As Adam says, it does sound like a fault...

Re: Upload speeds dropped

To rule out any problems at your end you could (via your router) disconnect and reconnect, or even, reboot your router.
I say this because I loose speed up & down periodically and that's how I get back to normal!

Re: Upload speeds dropped

The profiles are the same as before as far as I know.
Thanks for the advice. I have started the fault report process and I shall start the three BT tests tomorrow.

Re: Upload speeds dropped

Thanks Geoff. I tried that earlier but no difference. But I will try again a bit later just to make sure.

Re: Upload speeds dropped

Good luck Nathan!
I have to say that since joining PN my connection has been rock solid. The odd times the speed has nose-dived (to less than 5meg!) a reconnect or reboot cures it!

Re: Upload speeds dropped

Sadly in this case a reboot and disconnect didn't solve the problem. I've filled out the faults form so hopefully it will get fixed soon.
Thanks for the help Smiley
