speed problem

[#1]

I have just joined plusnet but only getting 90 up and 90 down. I have signed up for a 900 plan. Have i been put on the wrong plan?

How is the download speed being measured? By an Ethernet or Wi-Fi link to router?

All ethernet I have not set up wifi so I cannot use this.

With the download and upload being limited to around 90 Mbps with a wired connection could suggest the cable being used between the router and ONT is cat 5 4 wire (two pair).

If this is a Hub Two logon to the Hub and check the ->Home -->Status --->WAN Link Speed. should be 1000Mbps

Thanks for reply. The cable from the ONT is the same one I used on last ISP which I got a download speed of 924. I going to try a couple of thing plus I will look at router stats.

I have sorted it. Don't know what caused it but I dissconected Plusnet router and put my own in. Same cables and now 936 down to the router. Thanks for help but i'm sure I will be back.

The Plusnet router is perfectly capable of handling 900Mb wired.

I wonder if you've got a slightly dodgy cable somewhere ? A disconnect on one core of the eight can result in the cable still working BUT at 100Mb instead of 1000Mb.

You definitely could be right but I am leaving well alone. I have put router back into the box till needed. I will change all the cables if it comes back tho.
