Just connected new router - disappointing speeds

Hi all, just received my new fibre router which promised speeds of 35mbps+ but a speed test has shown speeds equal to my old service of around 2.5MBPS! Have I missed a step or have I been duped?

@MissMunro

Welcome to the forums.

Have Plusnet told you that the service is live ?

the Plusnet Hub One works on ADSL as well as FTTC so you might be seeing ADSL speeds as you are still on ADSL.

 

Log onto the router (details here https://www.plus.net/help/broadband/router-user-guides/ if needed), go to the Helpdesk and click on troubleshooting to get a list of details.

Check what does it say for 

23. Modulation: G.993.2 Annex B

If it contains "G.992." then you have not yet been upgraded to FTTC. If it says "G.993." then you have an issue as 993 modulation is FTTC but 992 is ADSL

Thanks, no have not had confirmation of new connection so possible it hasn't been activated yet. Will try to log in and have a look Smiley

Ok so the Modulation says G.992.1 so I'm guessing the service hasn't been activated. Will keep an eye on it and get in touch with them if I don't hear soon. Thanks again
