Download speed not quite right?

When the service was initially provisioned there was a fault on the line that was capping the download to around 34Mb.

 

Since then the fault has been fixed and when the engineer was onsite he commented that on his test he was getting a full 80/20 connection.

 

Now the upload is fine, but given the line length and what Plusnet are reporting the download speed seems a little low.

Re: Download speed not quite right?

As the fault we recently resolved was due to disconnections this means speeds were lowered deliberately by our supplier's DLM systems (dynamic line management) this does work in reverse when a connection has re-stabilised but can take a couple of weeks. Personally I would give it another week to give this a chance and failing that we would then need to arrange an engineer visit so they can initiate an SNR reset at the cabinet.

Re: Download speed not quite right?

Hi there, 

 

No change on the download speed so maybe time for an engineer kick?

Re: Download speed not quite right?

How do I escalate this to get an engineer visit?

 

Thanks

Re: Download speed not quite right?

Hi Furrball.

 

I'd report the fault to us at http://faults.plus.net but from testing your line I'm seeing your router in sync at 69mbps and there's no banding applied.

 

Sync Status In Sync
Downstream Speed 69.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed

20.0 Mbps

Profile Name 0.128M-80M Downstream, Error Protection Off - 0.128M-20M Upstream, Error Protection Off

 

As your sync speed falls within your speed estimates it's likely that our suppliers wouldn't accept this as a fault.

Hi, 

 

So looks like the line has sorted itself out and now connecting at full speed.  However profile seems to be 'stuck' as actual speeds still seem to remain the same

Re: Download speed not quite right?

Cheers for coming back to us.

I've bumped up the speed profile on your account now. If you can do a single disconnect/reconnect of the PPP session you should see an increase in your throughput.
