Ordered Unlimited fibre extra getting only 38mb download

I recently upgraded to Unlimited fibre extra upto 76mb download speed but i am only getting download speed of 38mb. Before the upgrade i was on unlimited fibre and i was getting 52mb.

 

When i spoke to the person in sales he said if i upgraded i would get speeds upto 71mb.

 

By upgrading my speeds are now slower than what i was on previously. I would like to be put on the service which i am paying for.

@MasterOfReality

Is the customer on the right profile? I notice that GEA test shows a profile of 0.128M-49M Downstream, but @Kulj1982 says that he has recently upgraded to Unlimited Fibre Extra which surely should be a profile of 0.128M-80M Downstream?

If he is only able to get a max of 42.7 Mbps, surely he should have been advised that there was no point in upgrading?

And if that is his max speed, why was he told that he could get up to 71 Mbps?

Re: Ordered Unlimited fibre extra getting only 38mb download

I was also wondering what product is the OP is on, it  doesn't look like fibre extra. The profiles are strange, downstream is 49 Mbps which would appear to be a banded profile and the upstream is 10Mbps but should be 20Mbps unless it is banded as well. These GEA tests are not very helpful when checking lines as the time stamp is the 24th of April so maybe the upgrade had not even happened then. Also when Retransmission high is active the sync speed reported in the test is significantly lower than the actual sync speed reported by the modem leading to more confusion. 

Unfortunately the OP will never get 71Mbps so I don't know how sales came up with that figure.Huh

I feel that my speeds are now slower than before. Have plusnet put me on the wrong ip profile or was i upgraded to package where speeds were not available. I should be on 80/20 profile but i am on 40/10 which slower then my previous speed of 52/10.

For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (VDSL or G.fast) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage.

This line is on a Market B Exchange.

For VDSL or G.fast Ranges A and B, the term "Clean" relates to a line which is free from any wiring issues (e.g. Bridge Taps) and/or Copper line conditions, and the term "Impacted" relates to a line which may have wiring issues (e.g. Bridge Taps) and/or Copper line conditions.

 

In order to be eligible for handback, downstream speed should be less than Downstream Handback Threshold values.

 

Throughput/download speeds will be less than line rates and can be affected by a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises.

The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2014. The Stop Sale date for IPstream is from 30-Nov-2012; the Formal Retirement date for IPstream is from 30-Jun-2014.

If the End User wishes to migrate from their current Broadband supplier they will need to contact the Broadband supplier they want to take service from to arrange for the service to be migrated.

 

Please note that postcode and address check results are indicative only. Most accurate results can be obtained from a telephone number, NAD, UPRN or Access Line ID (ALID) check.

Note: If you decide to place an order for a WBC fibre product, an appointment may be required for an engineer to visit the end user's premises to supply the service.

 

 

Thank you for your interest.

Re: Ordered Unlimited fibre extra getting only 38mb download

I agree it looks  like you have gone from 55/10 to 40/10. Hopefully someone from Plusnet will come along and sort this out. It looks to me that the promise of up to 71Mbps was a con as I doubt that you will get much improvement on your original 55Mbps download. If you are happy with 10Mbps upload I would suggest that you ask Plusnet to put your service back to where it was as you have been given an over optimistic estimate of the advantage of upgrading.
