Fibre upgrade

Hi
Today I had my broadband upgraded to fibre. My upload speed has increased to 7Mb but my download speed has remained the same as it was. Is there a problem or do I just need to wait a while for a speed profile change to kick-in at plusnet's end?
Thanks
Colin

Re: Fibre upgrade

I've just updated your profile on our side, this should cause a brief drop in your connectivity. If not and you don't see a speed increase within a few minutes you'll need to log in to the router and press disconnect and then connect.

Re: Fibre upgrade

Thank you very much Chris.
Download speed has now increased to 18Mb (18.37Mb sync according to the BT test). This is quite a bit lower than the estimated 35Mb though. Does it take a while to reach its potential or is it more likely a line quality issue? With DSL my downstream was 8000Kbps+.

Re: Fibre upgrade

Your line is connected at a lower rate than I'd expect based on the estimates. Is everything connected as the engineer left it? If so can you go through the steps at https://faults.plus.net so we can have a more detailed look.
