Hi,
since I have had my fibre installed (Roughly a year) I have not achieved the full speeds advertised and in fact no where near. On top of that, my download will consitantly sit below 1 mb/ps. I purchased this internet package for reliability and speed second. I don't have the reliability or speed that is advertised. I can't even play the simplest of games due to connection or stream things from YouTube as they buffer stutter or fail to load.
I would use the online chat but it isn't available so I have resorted to this. I know no one who is having a good experience with Plusnet and especially their fibre which is becoming a staple of the consumer. If they can't get this right, I may as well move providers, AGAIN.
File attached is the best speeds I have had in a longtime. That is with everything that uses bandwidth closed and as much shut down as possible, including other devices. Again, those are ridiculous speeds for fibre optic, especially the top package.

Hi, I moved providers originally from BT to Plusnet in hopes of more reliability. BT's speeds were always above 70 up and 20 down which is perfect for me, but, they had a lot of downtime in my area so I was left with nothing rather than slow internet. Once I moved to Plusnet, I had an initial couple days of great speeds and low ping but since then I have had nothing but ridiculously slow speeds which is putting me in the position to move provider again.
Short answer, I moved from good speeds but a fair bit of downtime to terrible majorly sub-par speeds and also, again, downtime.
Attachment: I used Steam to demonstrate what I get currently, no matter what I do. With BT and for a VERY short period after having Plusnet installed I was reaching around 12.5 mb/ps on Steam and now I am below 1 mb/ps.
Cheers for the reply.

I was told I would get up to 76 mb/ps as advertised online. Obviously I expected a little leeway whether that be up or down, but to be getting only 5 up and 5 down is ludicrous and a joke.
I am testing wired, currently have my PC connected to the router directly by ethernet. I have also tested many other devices this way and still get the same results.

Are you able to log into the router and post the details from the Helpdesk tab in the advanced section, making sure you hide any personal details such as your username?
