How can I let PlusNet know that my download speeds are much slower than BT Infinity?

I have recently switched from BT Infintity Full Fibre to PlusNet Full Fibre.  The cabinet is still the same distance away - I can see it from the bedroom window; it uses the same copper cable as before - the only difference is I've swapped the BT Home Hub for the PlusNet version.

In the past - when I used PlusNet before - you would raise a ticket - now you have to rely on an online chat or by phone, so sorry PlusNet - its a public question because I can't see another way.

I also have a SamKnows Whitebox - a Broadband monitoring tool - I'm part of the community that measures speed, so I have speed comparisons for the last 365 days in graph form.

 

Download Speed last 365 days - guess when I swapped provider?

DNS response Times - last 365 days - guess where I changed provider !!!

UDP Latency - last 365 days

Sync speeds seem fine, however testing your line shows there may be a problem with the phone line.

 

Just looking in to the phone side of things now.

 

EDIT: I've raised a phone fault for you. The initial test against the phone line found a fault that shouldn't need an engineer to access your property. I've left a ticket on your account regarding this.

 

Just in regards to your comments about raising tickets, you can still raise faults via the member centre at http://faults.plus.net Smiley

You can still raise faults, but nothing else. It is very frustrating.
