New set up

Hi,

 

I know that I should give it a couple of weeks before raising concerns about speeds etc, but after plugging in my router and setting it up, I'm only getting around 15mps speeds.

 

I've signed up for the fastest speed, so would expect speeds of at least 45mps - even as a new set up.

Tried all of the usual troubleshooting approaches and my router is connected to the only phone socket in the property.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: New set up

Thanks for getting in touch.

I'm sorry to hear that your speeds are below expectations.

We've tested your line and it's not showing an exact cause for this but we can see that the speeds are well below your minimum guaranteed line speed.

I'd recommend raising a fault here and posting back here once you've done so. We can then get this picked up and passed to the relevant team.

Re: New set up

Thanks @jamesjoc1971, I've responded to the ticket, however I'm afraid we're only able to book appointments for either an AM slot (Between 8am and 1pm) or a PM slot (Between 1pm and 6pm) Monday-Friday (With saturdays being available on rare occasions.

 

If you could response to the ticket confirming your availability for an appointment, then let us know here once you've responded, we'll get that picked up and booked in as soon as possible for you.

 

I hope this helps.

Re: New set up

Hi, the Openreach engineer attended and established that he issue was with the wire. He did something at the exchange and speed went to 46Mbps. Checked speedtest after he left and it was consistently around 29-30Mbps. If the speed does not increase, will I be able to downgrade my package to the plan that it more suited to those speeds?

Re: New set up

Hi @jamesjoc1971,

 

I'm sorry to hear that your throughput speed is still poor following the engineer visit.

 

I've tested your line and the test indicates that your line is now syncing at 53.5mbps:

Start Time Stamp 2019-03-05T14:01:04Z 2019-03-05T14:16:04Z
Ingress Code Violation 0 0
Egress Code Violation 3 0
Errored Seconds 3 0
Severely Errored Seconds 0 0
Unavailable Seconds 0 0

 

However, the connection profile on your account has not increased back to where it normally is and this appears to be what's restricting the speed on your side. I've adjusted this now and your speed should be back to normal once you've rebooted the router. Please let us know if this doesn't resolve the issue.

Re: New set up

Hi, speeds are back to around the 50Mbps mark now. Thanks for your help on this. Shall I leave the ticket open for another week as I’m still technically in that ‘new set up’ mode and need to let the line find it’s best speed?

Hi James,

 

You can leave it open for the time being - it will auto-close after a period of inactivity, or you can close it at a later date once you're happy that everything is running as expected.

 

Let us know if there's anything else you need.

 

Best wishes

 

Dave
