Re: my worst speed ever

Hi Deadonaslab,
I can see that you have commented on a support ticket with details on setting yo your router, would you be able to raise a fault for us here so that we can have a test of the line and investigate the problem please?

Re: my worst speed ever

speeds are still low not getting over 1400kbps. I know it does not look like its a big deal but when you only get 5500kbps or on a good day 6200kbps  it is a big deal so come on plusnet get it sorted
