Firbe is so slow it is unreal

I am really not happy with the speed I am getting on your fibre, I have tried everything to improve the speed including buying a new router and moving the router to different connections throughout my house. However the speed has steadily decreased over the months to a point it is barely usable. I now find myself paying for a service that I cannot use, the speed is now down to unacceptable 6mb. Might as well go back to dial up. I have attached copies of  speed tests including your own. They all ask if I wish to share my results...... I would be too embarrassed to tell anyone else.

Re: Firbe is so slow it is unreal

The fact that the upload speed is far in excess of the download speed would suggest a fault condition of some kind.  Have you raised this with tech support?

Re: Firbe is so slow it is unreal

Hi Jamie,
It looks like there is definitely something wrong here. I've run a quick test and a fault was instantly found on the phone line.
I have raised this with Openreach, and they expect it to be resolved by 15/01/15 23:59:59. I am hoping that this should improve things on the broadband side, but if not we will look into that next. Sorry for the inconvenience  Embarrassed

Re: Firbe is so slow it is unreal

I appreciate you looking into this, I upgraded my Internet to fibre as I like gaming and streaming, however over the last three months this has been mostly impossible. Lets hope it can be sorted.
