Hi,
Open reach  installed fibre today when the engineer tested connection it was syncing at 55 down and 15 up.

Give me 5 minutes then log in to the router, disconnect and reconnect. Try a speedtest again after that.

Chris,
I have been having exactly the same problem since being upgraded to fibre last week. I'm syncing at 80Mbps and only getting 23 when connected directly to the router. Do you have a magic fix that would also work for me please?

Re: Fibre installed today - slow connection

Keep in mind that although you're syncing at 80Mbps, the product you're on is only a 40Mbps service so you won't see more than this.
I can't see any issues with your account, I've moved our profile down slightly and then back to the full 40Mbps just to make sure there were no problems with that. It might be worth a disconnect/reconnect to see if that's helped at all.
The issue is with our faults team so they'll get back on this.

Re: Fibre installed today - slow connection

Don't mean to hijack this thread but I have had the exact same problem since switching over to fibre over a month ago. Modem syncing at 55Mbps but only managing to get 23Mbps downspeed when connected directly to the modem.
Can you try the same sync speed adjustment on my connection and see if that straightens things out?
I already have a ticket raised (no 102299054) but they haven't been able to get anywhere yet but I don't think they have tried this particular fix yet.

Yep that's sorted it. Unbelievable, it's just took you 5 minutes to sort out a problem that has been with Plusnet technical support for 6 weeks and counting.
Much appreciated. Thank you  Cheesy

From what I gather that was just the cherry on top of a much larger problem, glad you're back up to speed now though Cheesy

Re: Fibre installed today - slow connection

Well done plusnet team for sorting problems in this thread.
Shouldn't things be fixed though so it stops happening in the first place. Not really acceptable for a known problem which has been in place for at least a year is causing someone not to have the correct speed for weeks on end.
