Constantly slow broadband

Hello,

 

Have tried contacting the support team more than once now, but giving it a go here hoping it might get fixed this way.

As title suggests, our download speed is nowhere near to what it should be about 99% of the time.

I think the attached will explain it better than I will.

Router, PC, etc. have all been rebooted multiple times. Have tried Ethernet connections, no wi-fi repeaters.

 

Thanks

Re: Constantly slow broadband

Edit- sorry misread the post.... have you tried connecting the modem router directly to the BT test socket to carry out speed tests?

This is with it plugged in to the test socket.

Just to eliminate more questions - master socket with face-plate removed. Single filter. Has been the same setup for years.

Re: Constantly slow broadband

Can you do a 'quiet line' test 17070 and listen to the line to see if it's noisy?

Do you have a spare modem router to try? - unless under contract, Plusnet would only issue a replacement if you sign up to a new contract it seems. What type of modem router is it?

Sch4bik you might want to create your own post so responses don't get mixed up with the original poster.
