Drop in speed

Dear Tech support,

 

would you be able to check my line in East Kilbride ( I have two lines under my name - one in Glasgow and one in East Kilbride). My speed sits at 39999 Kbps, and that is after changing the router from plusnet one to Draytek 2860ac. I raised a fault in Broadband section but the BT engineer was sent to Glasgow line (he still found a fault in exchange), but my East Kilbride is preatty slow comparing to the one in Glasgow (70Mbits/s). If you need my phone line number please let me know

Re: Drop in speed

Can you PM me the number of the line in question, I only seem to be able to find your other account. Please send me a private message

 This is above the estimates for your line, so is performing above where expected for the speed.

However it is dropping out a fair bit but seems a lot better since Wednesday. Can you monitor the dropouts and let us know how it's performing.

Re: Drop in speed

HI Chris

 

My router was restarting few times in past few days, I checked the vdsl status today and it says: DS Attainable Rate : 68893820 bps, and I am getting DS Actual Rate : 59997000 bps. Woudl you think the line will allow to have the higher, attainable speed? Since BT did the job on the exchange, this rate indicator went up. I am just wondering if you could upgrade it, but if there will be any issues, I will let you know, and I can stay on the 59mbit/s.

Just in case, this is the East kilbride landline.
thank you in advance
