Re: Big drop in Fibre line speed

Re: Big drop in Fibre line speed

Engineer has changed faulty pair and hub is showing
6. Data rate:                 19999 / 74006
7. Maximum data rate: 26273 / 74021
BTW test still showing 41Mb download with IProfile of 71Mb. Does it take time for speed to recover after a fault?
