Fiber estimate

[#1]

Hello
I have now 40mbit fiber and after chat with eneginier who setup it and plus net chat on website test says I can go up to 76mbit but when I take "product change"
estimate shows up to 54mbits..
If I take this 54 will my speed be caped at 54 or this speed is just minimum plusnet can guarantee and it can go higher?

Hi,
With 40Mb fibre are you getting the full 40Mb or only 27Mb which is half the 54 estimated for the 80Mb product?

Good morning @samgo5 and welcome to the forums
There is a tolerance on the estimate and it can go up or down but it is a good indication what to expect. If you check other threads there is a general drift downwards as other customers connect to your cabinet.
So if you change product with that estimate you should see an increase to something like but the guarantees are hedged round by the upper and lower limits given in your actual speed tests. The product would give just under the 80Mbps on a perfect line next to the cabinet but your line must not be perfect and that limits you to the 54Mbps

The speed estimate is just that, not a cap, you may get more than 54Mbps but don't expect to get speeds in the 70+Mbps region that require 80Mbps sync.

If you run the BT Speed Tester and Further Diagnostics, this will tell you your IP Profile which will confirm the speed you can get if you change to the Up To 80Mbps product.

I got an estimate of 60mbits, but I'm connected at 78...

If you do decide to change, just raise a ticket or give us a quick call and we'll sort it for you.

Open Reach engineer told me due to my wire length from cabinet result of both Up to 38 and up to 76 would be the same.
So sounds you would do better than I if paying for the faster as you would get some increase I would pay but no increase.
