Re: Decreasing speeds

Please can i have my upload speed back?  Can anybody offer an explanation?  It's still running at 50%.  How can I open a ticket for this issue?  I can't seem to find it via the pn site.

Re: Decreasing speeds

Switched to a HH5 Type B  Speed is still creeping up.  Download is about max now.  Upload is still shy.  It was a solid 19 for months after my initial install. Sad

Re: Decreasing speeds

Spoke too soon.  Almost 15 meg lost, back to square one.  I do get a nice red bar on my download profile now though.  Does that qualify me for a fault?

Re: Decreasing speeds

Yes, red line equals put in a fault.
Do not run any further BTW tests as Plusnet can only see the result of the last one.

Re: Decreasing speeds

Nothing from plus.net support.  4 days?

Speedtest still slow (well slower than what it should be).  Nice red bar Smiley

Stats before a reboot:

Interestingly after the reboot it took over 8 mins for the connmection to come back, not seen that before?

Stats after a successful connection

Re: Decreasing speeds

The download speed may have decreased due to more people being added to your final cabinet.
If that's the case I would suggest like what I did was downgrade my package to 40mbps and get borderline 40mbps (I get roughly 38mbps) I don't notice any different when web browsing on the internet etc.

Re: Decreasing speeds

I happened to wake up over night and noticed the BTHH5 was glowing orange rather than blue.  Looking this morning the connection was down for approx 10 mins.  The new connection has improved slightly.  Best upload i've seen in a long time.  Still down from the initial 19 I got in the 1st few months after installation though.


Oh, plus.net have updated my support ticket.  There is lots of sexy testing stats on my fault ticket Smiley  At the end it says this:
Quote
Summary
Potential Performance issue has been identified related to Packet loss on VLAN.
Resolution/Recommendation: Please pass to BTW for further diagnostics.

Re: Decreasing speeds

yet again my unlimited fibre is down to 37MB now from 60mb. This happens every couple on months, so I get the job of complaining to plusnet, who after running tests and delaying a response for up to a week, end up getting BT on the case who admit eventually) its because they have profiled down the connection. They then reset the profiling and all is well again for another couple of months.  Oh well here we go again. Such a waste and inconvenient.
Why? I pay for unlimited, so why should it ever be acceptable to deliver a speed of 37MB. Surely BT/plusnet could take corrective action when speed drops BEFORE I get the ob of reportng a fault, waiting etc.  Sad
