Just done some speed tests and the upload is about a quarter down on normal Used to be consistently around the 18.5mb/s mark but currently seem to be languishing in the 13-15mb's on all the sites I've checked. Download speed is reasonable i.e. 60mb/s plus. Congestion?
Fixed! Go to the fix.

It can do, depends on how many photos I'm uploading - sometimes hundreds - 12 mb each photo. Time is of the essence 🙂 I see I'm still stuck in the slow lane this morning, so not congestion at this time in the morning. I had a quick peep at the modem stats last night and it was syncing at 13mb as well. 5db both up and down. Considering I'm on 78/20 something seems to have fallen down - again. While the download has varied and slowly crept down over the past year, upload has always been solid in the high 18mb/s

I'd expect your line to be syncing higher based on the estimates:
Featured Products |
Downstream Line Rate(Mbps) |
Upstream Line Rate(Mbps) |
Downstream Handback Threshold(Mbps) |
WBC FTTC Availability Date |
WBC SOGEA Availability Date |
WBC FTTC 18x2 Provide Availability |
WBC FTTC 18x2 Sim Availability |
Left in Jumper |

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
High | Low | High | Low | |||||||
VDSL Range A (Clean) | 80 | 69.1 | 20 | 20 | 60.5 | Available | -- | -- | Yes | -- |
If you continue to have issues I'd advise getting this reported to us as a fault at https://faults.plus.net

Thanks for the reply Chris. I will do. Looks like the gremlins have resurfaced on the line (OR had a couple of goes resolving it only a couple of months ago.
2 speedtests just done (different websites similar results) ..... upload down to 6.8mb 😞
Worse, I see DLM has kicked me into the long grass....47mb/s. I suppose you don't do FTTP in my area yet?

While I doubt it as you have FTTC, you can follow this guide to find out for yourself:-
First you must be an existing Plusnet broadband customer
Then, check with BT if you are able to get FTTP using the BT Broadband checker at http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome?
The results will need to look like this
If the first line of the "Featured Products" says "WBC FTTP" then you can apply for the trial at http://trials.plus.net/
Another way is to go to the BT Retail website and see if you can buy Infinity 4 from them (FTTP at 330Mbps download). If you can then you can also apply to join the Plusnet trial or use BT or even Zen (the latter 2 offer FTTP as a product not just a trial)
Finally Plusnet only offer 2 speeds for FTTP, 40Mbps down/2Mbps up or 80Mbps down/20Mbps up. Use BT if you want faster.
There is a complete list of all FTTP providers at
Openreach Ultrafast fibre suppliers
Finally VirginMedia are installing some 2 million FTTTP connections via their Project Lightening before 2019 so it might be a consideration if they are planning to install in your area.
