Can I get a better upload speed?

Hello, I was wondering if its possible for me to get a better upload speed.
I currently get about 11.8 down and 0.8up.
I would really like to try and achieve 1.5up if possible?

Unless you move house nearer the exchange or get fibre, no

Our premises is one street away from the exchange.
0.1 miles on google maps. I could throw stones at the exchange from here if i tried hard enough..... of course I wouldn't do that.
No FTTC on our streets cabinet so no Fiber.

That is a straight line distance, but phone lines aren't straight.  You could be unlucky and it goes around an estate before it gets to you.

Its a town centre property. But still, are you a PlusNET employee that can give me definitive answer and look into my connection?

The only way to get the upload speed you want is Annexe M and that is only available on a Business Line with a significant charge

I am a business customer and would like to discuss with someone, I did make a support ticket but nobody answered.

So am I better off calling in?
I thought support tickets and forum contact would have been preferential to phone calls.

Sorry I did not realise there was a business user forum.
I have indeed been in contact via phone and resolved this issue.
I would like to thank your team for being so helpful.
Your doing a great job.

Re: Can I get a better upload speed?

Hello again.
I did end up ordering Annex M for my account. I have been advised that Annex M has been added and is now active.
I have done a full reset of my modem/router and have seen no increase in line speed.
Could you advise further please.

Any chance of someone replying to this thread, or my ticket without me picking up the phone?

Re: Can I get a better upload speed?

Sorry for not replying sooner, there were some other posts I needed to reply to this morning too.
I'd advise allowing our business support team to investigate the issue you're having with the upload speed not increasing on Annex M. I see you've already got a ticket open on this and they'll respond there asap.
