Line running at half speed. Help Please

This sort of thing is out of my comfort zone but I know enough to know that this isn't right, does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on this?

BT Speed Test Results

My router and modems have been up for 15 days if that helps and these are the sync speeds.

Vigor 130 Modems Sync Rates

After tweaking the router to I've just done another test on the other line with these results:

Second Account Test

Your input is appreciated.

Re: Line running at half speed. Help Please

Hello there. Are you running the test wired to a PC or wireless? If it's via Ethernet I'd recommend raising a performance fault at http://faults.plus.net
Hope this helps

Anoush, any history of disconnections on his line?  What's his Plusnet profile?

Re: Line running at half speed. Help Please

Sorry, I'm not in the office this weekend. Sad I was just providing general advice.

[Edit]

@Anonymous I'm assuming you're on the Unlimited Fibre Extra package? If not then that explains the cap at 38 Mbps.

Re: Line running at half speed. Help Please

@Anoush - I'm running Ethernet but I don't think it's a fault, I suspect it due to a CAP on the account both of which should be Unlimited Fibre Extra. It work for now, so I can wait to raise a fault until either another member of staff checks and replies or Monday comes which ever is sooner.

 

@aesmith - Is this something I can tell you?

Re: Line running at half speed. Help Please

The one piece of information which seems to be missing - I didn't see it - is the Plusnet Current Line Speed https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed

Apologies for the delay @Oldjim but I didn't realise that you had made a post. I this what you're meaning?

Estimated line speed:80Mb (This may vary between 75.3Mb and 80Mb) - Checked on 2016-04-25 15:04:37

Current line speed:40 Mb

Re: Line running at half speed. Help Please

That is exactly what I meant and this tells me that it is Plusnet slowing it down either because of a glitch or because they have moved you to the 40/20 product

Unless it is picked up here you may be able to sort it via Chat unless it is that you are now on the wrong product and I am not sure Chat can sort that

Thanks for that @Oldjim, could maybe @adamwalker, or @bobpullen or maybe @Anoush take a look at this for me please as BOTH lines should be on the Unlimited Extra product.

It is @Chris, both lines running at ±75Mbps, as always your efforts are appreciated, so thank you for that.

@Oldjim - Not in this case, my modem detected the change about 20 mins ago and re-sync'd automagically. Wink
