My upload speed appears to have been capped at less than 2Mbps

Have been getting more buffering when using Iplayer etc so carried out a speed check.

Not saying this is the reason but it highlighted the speed reduction.

Can someone at Plusnet  check this out for me please.

Thank you.

Hello,

 

Can you confirm what package you have? Unlimited Fibre or Fibre Extra?

Re: My upload speed appears to have been capped at less than 2Mbps

Looks like your upload speed has been dropped in error, as you upgraded before we stopped selling 40/20 but the order didn't complete until after we stopped selling 40/20.

 

Leave that with me and I'll make sure that's corrected for you. (Should take 1 working day for the order to complete)

Hi HarryB

If we'd left it at 40/2 it would have stayed on 40/2.

Re: My upload speed appears to have been capped at less than 2Mbps

that doesn't answer the question though, does it ?
it's going to be on 40/20 once you fix the mistake that was made.
so, can you answer the original question?

At a guess, everyone on 40/20 is going to be moved to 55/10, by moving the OPs connection to 40/20 it puts it in the crosshairs (or the mop up list) for that regrade.

Fix

Hi HarryB

Just checked and now tested at 18.9 so appears to be back to normal.

That should now put me on the list when it is changed to 55/10.

Thanks again for all your help.

Re: My upload speed appears to have been capped at less than 2Mbps

Hi

I had buffering problems with Iplayer yesterday and on checking today my speeds are 51.7 down and 3.9 up.

Have I been put on the new 55/10 early, which is fine by me, but would expect higher than 3.9 up.

Will someone please check this for me.
