Re: slow speed

At one time Plusnet used to impose its own speed cap.  This was meant to mirror the one used by BT's equipment but if the process went wrong (which was a rare event) you could find your speed unnecessarily restricted.  I haven't paid much attention to these issues for a few years so I may be out of date.

Re: slow speed

If you could show that small(ish) blocks of data downloaded at a high speed, but larger blocks downloaded at a significantly slower speed then there is some artificial limiting going on somewhere.

Re: slow speed

A capped upstream speed for an ADSL2+ connection on a line that's so short it's getting pretty much the maximum possible downstream sync speed, seriously?

Uncap the upstream.

I'm not sure the capped upstream speed will be limiting the downstream throughput speed as measure by speedtests, but it's not going to be helping anything.

Re: slow speed

It requires someone from Plusnet to uncap (increase) the upstream speed for you.

Would they not of done that in the last three months they have been trying to sought it out and not send out 4 engineers to try and tell me that the 6 routers that I have tried are all faulty they are in the process of doing what they called a type m let's see how that goes

Re: slow speed

I don't know the history of the issue and what has been done previously to try and fix it. Someone might have capped the upstream thinking the problem might somehow have been due to the originally uncapped upstream.

All I can see is the stats in the image you posted, the downstream rate was 24333k and the upstream rate was 446k. There's no good reason for the upstream speed to be restricted like that. It should be over 1000k. Whatever else gets done, you will still need the upstream uncapped.

Re: slow speed

I have tested your line and found that there is excessive data being transferred on your upload stream at the time of your speed test. This is not a cap that has been applied its the bandwidth being consumed by something such as high definition streaming (multiple sources) file sharing programs or backup software - including mobile phones (being the most common 3 things). If your upload is maxed out then information requests will struggle to leave your router to the outside world and the small data packets used to confirm data has been received will not be sent to the outside server making it look like speed problems. This will therefore cause speed delays or even terminations preventing access altogether.

I don't know what happened to your lengthy post but how was this bit resolved?  It seems obvious from this comment that your upstream rate should be uncapped.  Also you should run speed tests with all devices that could possibly access the internet switched off - except the one you are using to run the test.  If possible test with several different devices in case one is using bandwidth unbeknown to you.

Dear Mr Bush,

Having tested your line today it appears the instability of the connection may be due to a setting being incorrect for the line.

The signal to noise ratio (SNR) is too low for the length of your line. The SNR helps the broadband to remain stable and unaffected by noise or interference on the line. The higher the setting for SNR, the higher the level of noise can be tolerated.

The SNR for your line was set too low for the amount of interference we'd expect to see, so by increasing this we expect the connection to now stabilize.

Please monitor the connection over the next couple of days, and reply to this message should the connection continue to drop.



Kind regards,

Dear Mr Bush,

I have tested your line today and the results indicate a potential issue with the equipment connected to the phone line.

Our tests show a loop on the line, which is a short circuit on the line. This could be a faulty piece of equipment or something breaking the loop such as something going through the line.

To rule out your equipment as the cause, we would like to see if the fault is still present with your equipment disconnected from the line.

Please contact us when all the phone sockets in the property are unplugged and if possible please remove the faceplate of the master socket which will disconnect the internal wiring. We can then retest your line and proceed with our investigation.



Kind regards,

Dear Mr Bush,

I tried to call you today but there was no answer. To progress this fault, we would need to request another engineer to visit your premises and to diagnose the fault on the line, I can see the line is stable, however the speeds are lower than your estimates.

Before we book an engineer to investigate and try to fix your issue I need to make you aware of the following information and you will need to accept before we proceed.

If the engineer finds the fault to be with one of the checks we have asked you to do, you miss the appointment or you cancel the appointment within 48 hours of the engineer visit time we will add one off fee of £50 to your bill. This charge will appear within 90 days of the engineer visiting your property and the engineer will demonstrate to you where the problem exists.

We are very stringent on accepting and passing on these charges and protecting both you and us from paying a charge.

In order for us to book an engineer do you accept the possibility of a charge to your account?

Please reply to this message with your agreement to the statement and with 3 available timeslots for an engineers visit. The available timeslots are weekdays either between 8am & 1pm or between 1pm & 6pm.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

Dear Mr Bush,

Thank you for your patience and apologies for the delayed response.

The line has been tested again and we have identified a possible cause of the connection problems.

The signal to noise ratio margin on your line has dropped below target which can lead to slower throughput.

In order to improve performance of the connection, we have increased the signal to noise ratio margin on your line. This will increase the buffer applied to protect the broadband signal to accommodate slight increases or spikes in noise on the line without affecting the connection.

Please continue to monitor the connection over the next few days and get back in touch should you experience any further problems.

If you are still having issues with your broadband speed then we would need you to perform some further diagnostic testing from your end by following the on screen instructions at:

BT Wholesale Broadband Performance Test.

To ensure the speed test results are uploaded and sent to us, please click Further Diagnostics after you have run the initial test, enter your Telephone Number and then click Run Diagnostic Test.


If you require any further assistance, please follow the guide using the link below:

Again currently running at 171mb, well below 203mb threshold

(10:51:17):
Yes, unless other VLANS are built here, increasing VLAN size will be their only option

I'll email capacity advising of customers speed, all I can do is make them aware and recommend increase in VLAN size

Dear Mr Bush,

Thank you for your time on the phone.

As per our conversation, we have identified high utilization at your exchange as such this is why you may be experiencing throughput issues at peak times. Our suppliers BT Wholesake have emailed the Capacity Management team to investigate.

I will now place this ticket on hold for 7 days and we'll be in touch when we have an update for you

Please do not hesitate to get back in touch online at http://portal.plus.net/wizard or by phone on 0800 432 0200 if we can be of further assistance.

Dear Mr Bush,

Thank you for your time on the phone.

As per our conversation, the capacity report is now showing that bandwidth utilization at your exchnage is performing within thresholds. therefore we should now notice improved throughput and performance of the connection.

As discussed, if you are still experiencing issues please test the connection with alternative device, router and Ethernet cable to try eliminate an issue with equipment and also test the connection at different times of the day to see if if the issues replicate at off peak times. Please continue to monitor the connection and get back in touch should you experience any further problems.

Please do not hesitate to get back in touch online at http://portal.plus.net/wizard or by phone on 0800 432 0200 if we can be of further assistance.

10:36am, Tuesday 30 Aug 2016
Dear Mr Bush,

Thanks for your patience,

I have tested your line and found that there is excessive data being transferred on your upload stream at the time of your speed test. This is not a cap that has been applied its the bandwidth being consumed by something such as high definition streaming (multiple sources) file sharing programs or backup software - including mobile phones (being the most common 3 things). If your upload is maxed out then information requests will struggle to leave your router to the outside world and the small data packets used to confirm data has been received will not be sent to the outside server making it look like speed problems. This will therefore cause speed delays or even terminations preventing access altogether.

If you close down whatever is causing the problem eg. Vuze, BitTorrent, KnowHowCloud, Cloud Sync for example and re-run the speedtest you should fine that the speed increases to its normal level.

If after closing whatever is consuming your upload doesnt resolve the problem please get back to us with any information which may be beneficial and we will continue investigation.

Please do not hesitate to get back in touch online at http://portal.plus.net/wizard or by phone on 0800 432 0200 if we can be of further assistance.

Dear Mr Bush,

Thank you for your time on the phone.

As per our conversation, I'm very sorry that your fault is still ongoing.

My testing today indicates that the issue is no longer there but after the conversation with yourself and seeing your speedtest results I would have to concur that the issue is still present.

I have now raised an escalation through to our suppliers for this to be assessed more thoroughly for you. We will hear back from them in the next 24 hours and we will get back in touch with you as well at that point.

I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you

Please do not hesitate to get back in touch online at http://contactus.plus.net or by phone on 0800 432 0200 if we can be of further assistance.

I hope this helps

Plusnet staff may respond to posts on this forum but probably not to a direct question like "when did you test my line".  Provided your router was switched on the line can be tested and it's better to leave the router on all the time than to switch it off when not in use.
