ADSL to FTC switchover *finally* happened - upload speed now 18Mbs but download still stuck at 4Mbs

Hi all,

After a long wait, the switch-over from ADSL to FTC happened sometime in the past 12 hours  24hrs**
The Hub One is now reporting

Downstream: 79.9 Mbps
Upstream: 20 Mbps


Huzzah!

 

Unfortunately,  according to both speedtest  and  broadbandspeedchecker, while we're now getting a whopping upload speed of ~18Mbs (~20x faster than yesterday 😁download is still stuck at 4.6Mbs. 😕

I gave the hub one an extra reboot for good measure, but to no avail.. 

 

Is there some other setting that can be adjusted to release the brakes?

 

Thanks

S


** Update:  The hub ones' log says...

08:35:37, 16 Feb. (1211994.030000) WAN operating mode is VDSL

 

... so it must have changed yesterday, a day earlier than expected.

Seems like the profile on the PN side needs a kick.
Hopefully one of the staffers will pick it up soon Smiley

<Bump>

Nothing much seems to be happening. I guess none of the staff saw this. There seemed to be relatively little commentary on the ticket when I raised it.

 

I must say I certainly seem to have an ironic form of  Asymmetric DSL with upload being 5-6x faster than download!

It’s possible the product change to fibre hasn’t completed on your account yet, what’s the ‘current line speed’ show as on the broadband tab in your account online?

Essentially, it's been saying the following since at least the 1st of Feb (including the guaranteed part)..

  • Product: Unlimited Fibre Extra
  • Estimated Download Range: 67 - 72Mbps
  • Estimated Upload Range: 17 - 18Mbps
  • Minimum Guaranteed Speed: 60.9Mbps
  • Current Line Speed (Download): 5.1Mbps

 

It's just perplexing that the upload rate has definitely gone from its ADSL rate of ~0.5 Mb/s to (testing this morning with BTW) 19Mbs, which closely matches the modem's reported rate, yet the download rate seems capped at 5, while the modem says it should be going quite a bit faster.

 

I really could do with the faster downloads - had to transfer some big files off a work server earlier this week and it took  h..o..u....r......s

So, right in the middle of a business meeting the connection dropped out because the hub one disconnected 😳

09:47:04, 18 Feb. (92254.700000) PPPoE is down after 1535 minutes uptime [Disconnected]
09:47:00, 18 Feb. (92250.810000) PPP LCP Send Termination Request [PPPoE PADT received]

 

On the upside, it BTW speed test now says 70Mbs 😁 !!!

On the whole: 😊

Sounds like you were capped at ADSL, this type of profile generally only affects download speeds. At least it’s sorted now and you’ve got a big increase even if it did cause a bit of hassle during your meeting.
