Fibre speed issues

Hi All 

 

I'm looking for some help with my fibre speed.  When i first joined PlusNet and previously with BT I was getting 70mbps and above however now i'm getting low 40s.  I've tried using the BT test socket and even another router without success.  I do have a fault open however there doesn't appear to be much progress being made.  According to the DSL check this has been going on for some time probably over a month.

 

Any help would be appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Re: Fibre speed issues

Hi @MatthewWheeler my issue was fixed for a couple of days however an OpenReach van turned up this afternoon, presumably fixing someone else's issue, and now I have no connection at all! So I'm actually worse off than I was at the beginning of this thread!

Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Fibre speed issues

Hi @OskarPapa and @MatthewWheeler I've also got to phone line either so this is quite urgent.  Also how do I go about being reimbursed for this loss of service?

Thanks

Re: Fibre speed issues

Thanks for your post @1rtomlinson.

 

On checking the Openreach fault, we're still showing an estimated response time of by 23:59 this evening and so as yet, have no further update to give you aside from that they're currently implementing a solution.

 

We're sorry for the continued inconvenience.

Hi @OskarPapa @Beyhive @MatthewWheeler 

 

It actually says today at 7am on the ticket.. 


"This Question is now on hold until Monday 30th September at 7:00am."

 

Please see attached message from OpenReach Twitter help team sent today. 

 

"Thanks Ross, I can see that your provider have been given an update on your fault today and they're now aware of what's happening going forward. If you speak with them, they'll be able to advise further on this. ^Frazer"

 

Can you confirm that I will be due £8 a day will be paid to me as per the Ofcom automatic compensation scheme? 


Thanks
