Fibre Speed Very Slow!

Hello all.
Just a quick question for Tech Support.
I am on the 'Fibre Essentials' package and live no more than 200 yards from the 'Green Box', but my speeds seem very slow for what I am paying for.
I have done various speed tests and the fastest download speed recorded is 2.83 Mb/s. Upload is in the high 9s but that is not what I am paying for.
Can someone please look into this for me as I am not that happy paying for what is touted as 'Superfast Broadband' with download speeds from 38 Mb/s, just to get 2.83 Mb/s.
Thank you.

Re: Fibre Speed Very Slow!

Anyone from TS going to reply, or should I just raise a ticket?

So much for the "community", not a single reply... oh well.

Did a disconnect and tests now show 37 Mbps to 40 Mbps so I'll see how things go.
Thank you.

Re: Fibre Speed Very Slow!

Still showing the same speeds in tests to-day.
I can't say that I am impressed by this...
Time to look elsewhere I think, which is a shame as I have been with PlusNet since 1997.

Has this been done?
If it has, and the speeds I'm getting are the best you can offer, I'm disappointed.
Will I get a reply to this I wonder.

Re: Fibre Speed Very Slow!

Everything is showing fine on our end.
Are you running these tests over a wired or wireless connection?

You may need to repeat your disconnect/reconnect of the router (NOT modem) if you haven't done this since Plusnet's last changes to your line.
