Slow Upload Speed

Hello Everyone,

Signed up to Plusnet and got going a couple of weeks ago.  I've noticed that my download speed is 10 Mbps (BT Wholesale) or 24 Mbps (Speedtest) but they both agree that upload speed is slow at 0.0Mbps and 0.26 Mbps respectively.

How can I have good download and bad upload?  Surely the wiring is OK to be able to get a decent download !

 

Thanks for any pointers

 

Matt

Re: Slow Upload Speed

Hi there, 

 

I'm seeing the low upload reflected on broadband diagnostics so reporting a fault would be a good idea. 

 

I'd run through the checks here first: https://goo.gl/tu2WWu following that you can report it at http://faults.plus.net 

 

Do let me know when you have.

Re: Slow Upload Speed

Hi Adam,

Fault reported.   I plugged into the Master socket and added a new MicroFilter.  Exactly same results as I get using extension lead.  Strange that Download is fast, but upload isn't.  Thought everything went through the same bits of copper wire.

 

Waiting with baited breath

Re: Slow Upload Speed

Hi Matt.

Would you be able to try plugging your router into the test socket without any extension leads?

If your upstream speed doesn't improve there we'll need to arrange an engineer visit.

Re: Slow Upload Speed

Hi Gandalf,

NORMAL SET UP is Master Socket - Phone Extension cable to phone socket - Micro Filter - lead to Hub - ethernet to PC

 

TEST SET UP  was Test Socket (opened master socket) - New plusnet Microfilter - New Plusnet lead to Hub - 5m Ethernet cable to PC

 

The test socket is too far away from the PC.  I suppose I could try Speedtest.net on my mobile (using the Test Set up and check it over Wifi) and see if that gives me a different reading 

 

Both ways I get the good Download speed and poor Upload speed

 

Many Thanks

Matt

Re: Slow Upload Speed

Thanks for doing that Matt.

We'll need to book an engineer visit to further investigate.

Can you reply to this ticket with your availability or the text I'm about to send?
