New Plusnet Customer - Woeful Speed!

New Customer today - engineer has been and connected up, took a while to get connected for some reason but his line test/txt message came back saying line supports 80m/20mb
Upload is nicely sat at about 18-19mb which is great. Download is stuck at about 12mb which has now stablised....
Should I be worried, or does it really take 5 days for the line to become stable - the box is literally at the end of the street - 200m max!
Any ideas?
Thanks Smiley

If the engineer tested and could see 80/20 then I'd expect you to be getting close to the full speed on your Up to 38Mb product.

Re: New Plusnet Customer - Woeful Speed!

This is what I see in the Router settings:

Your Plusnet adviser may ask you for the following information:
1 - Product name: Plusnet Router
2 - Serial number: N7150281M006371
3 - Firmware version: 7.273.1_F2704N_Plusnet
4 - Board version: F@ST2704N
5 - Mode Fibre
6 - Uptime: 0 days 07:10:43
7 - Data rate: 100M/100M
8 - Maximum data rate: 100M/100M
9 - Noise margin: -
10 - Line attenuation: -
No Line Stats which is a bit odd.....do you suppose there could be a fault Chris?

Re: New Plusnet Customer - Woeful Speed!

Having tested the line I can't see any issues at all. You won't see the line stats in the router on a fibre connection.
Downstream Speed 80.0 Mbps
Upstream Speed 20.0 Mbps
Profile Name 0.128M-80M Downstream, Error Protection Off - 0.128M-20M Upstream, Error Protection Off
Can you ensure you're testing via an ethernet cable?
