Fibre slower than my previous non-fibre broadband

I should apparently be getting 37mbps, but I'm getting awful speeds, generally between 3 to 5 mbps. This is slower than I had with Sky, on non-fibre broadband, before I switched to Plusnet Fibre at the end of December. I raised a fault with Plusnet, who emailed a few days later (on Friday) to say that their 'supplier' had fixed the fault. However, the fault has not been fixed, so I updated the ticket yesterday to say this, but have heard nothing since. Slow loading of web pages and buffering is not why I joined Plusnet.

Hi Bluepanido,

 

Sorry to see you've been having problems with connection speeds.

 

Before we look at progressing the fault can I just double check with you that the latest set of speed tests were done over ethernet?

Yes it was over ethernet. Just tested it now and got 3.37 mbps.
