We upgraded from adsl too fibre broadband and took out the 80mb dl / 20mb ul package which was installed 12/03/2015. We were told that it could take up too 10 days for our line too stabilize, so over the last two weeks I have been running speed tests multiple times a day everyday. So far the highest peak download we have seen has been 15mb and upload has been 17mb. The download and upload speeds have gotten worse and for the last few days have been lower than our old adsl package!
Date Download Speed Upload Speed
Today 14:49 1986 kbps (248kB/s) 813 kbps (102kB/s)
This was todays using plusnet speed checker.
Can anyone explain how upgrading too a faster package has given me a slower overall speed?

Hi chloebull,
Sorry to hear of the problems.
Are you ok to let me know what speeds you are getting through a wired connection on this site?

Ok, So did what you suggested and my download spead was 37.15mb upload 15.5mb
I'm not a computer wizz but why is the wireless so slow? We haven't change anything but the router and are using a 100mbs wireless card, seems odd too be getting such slow speeds over wireless with full signal strength.

It could actually be the Plusnet speed checker producing funny results, which has often been discussed here.
There are a whole bunch of variables to take into effect when looking at wireless signal strength. My first suggestion would typically be changing the wireless channel.
What speeds do you get on the second checker wirelessly?

Your best bet it to take a look at Matty's link. In it, you can find details about the channels which may help. Of course, if the router is a long way from the device you are using this could be the best you'll get (but this seems unlikely).
