Slow Weekend speed Fibre broadband

Here we go again!

Nearly every Friday night through Saturday, download speeds plummet from the promised 35mbps to under 6mbps. The reason I'm paying for a seven-day-a-week fibre broadband service is that I need it. Fine all week until the weekend then everything falls apart. Who do I need to speak to sort this out? it's getting ridiculous!

I bought a film on iTunes at 9.00PM and so far, I have managed to watch about 10 minutes.  The rest of the time I was checking my equipment.  Finally ran a speed test, 1.25Mbps down.  That's a fibre connection, 100m from the cabinet.  Appalling.  And yeah, we have to pay good money for this frustration.

@MatthewWheeler  Can this case be added to the HOT SVLAN investigation please.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

@Bobbymax42 Sorry to hear you're having issues.

Our tests are showing a capacity issue at the exchange.

We've raised that for further investigation and we'll update you when we know more.

Thanks, it's become very frustrating and has been going on for a number of weeks. I've got various screenshots of speed tests run if it helps.

We don't need any data from yourself as our tests are showing there's definitely a issue.

It's been passed to our suppliers complex faults team and we'll have a update by the 1st of March.
