Poor download speed - East Yorkshire

I signed up for Unlimited Fibre Extra a month or two ago.

I was promised 60-70Mbps which is what have been getting.

today I carry out a check and find 20Mbps download.

upload is normal at around 18Mbps.

 

What is going on ????

Re: Poor download speed - East Yorkshire

Hi @richald,

I'm sorry to hear that you're experiencing slow speeds. I've tested the line today and I can see that the speeds going into the property are running at 73.9Mbps down and 20Mbps up. When you're testing the connection, are you doing this over a Wi-Fi connected device or via an Ethernet cable connected device? I can also see that you started going through our Broadband Troubleshooter, did this result in any improvement to the speeds you're receiving?

Re: Poor download speed - East Yorkshire

I am using a TP-Link TD-W9980 Router connected directly to my pc with an ethernet cable.

I didn't realise that I had started going through the Broadband Troubleshooter

perhaps I should complete the process.

I have been using the OKLA speedtest app and still only getting 20Mbps upload.

Could it be that the Router has failed in some way?

Fix

Hi @richald thanks for getting back to us. 

Looks like there's a stuck profile on your account capping your speeds at a max of 21mbps. 

I've fixed this now, could you reboot your router letting us know how things look after?

@richald Difficult to advise and see definitively why the profile automatically dropped on your account. Hopefully it doesn't happen again. Apologies for the inconvenience this had caused.
