Re: Slow broadband

Hi, I also have the fibre extra service and find that fairly regularly I have to reboot the router to get a half decent speed. I mostly use WIFI and have devices on both 2.4 and 5 Ghz. The speed seems to deteriorate over the day and by the following morning I am down to 1Mbs with lots of latency when I do a speed test. By rebooting the router it snaps back to a more acceptable performance although I have rarely seen anything above your speed. It is very frustrating to be sure!

@craigszxtt

Keeping opening a new topic relating to the same issue is counter productive.

In this post  https://community.plus.net/t5/ADSL-Broadband/Slow-promised-speeds/m-p/1601713#M329433 you say your speed should be between 37 and 47 Mbps. This seems very marginal with respect to paying for fibre extra. Have you considered downgrading to the 40/10 service?

Re: Slow broadband

Hi @craigszxtt 

 

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing speed problems.

 

Our tests are detecting your circuit is on a hot VLAN. This basically means that the part of our suppliers network your connection is routed through at the exchange is congested and having capacity issues.

 

I've discussed this with our suppliers and they've informed me that they are migrating you to a cooler VLAN - we expect an update within the next 48 hours on this. 

 

I have raised a ticket to your account as well containing information and test results.

 

Kind Regards, 

 

MoR

Re: Slow broadband

Hi @craigszxtt,

 

I'm sorry that our faults team haven't been in touch with an update yet. I've checked and our suppliers have moved you onto a cool (uncongested) VLAN on the 13th of February.

 

Your connection is looking better from here, with just one drop since you were moved onto the cool VLAN.

 

 

Testing your line isn't picking up any issues at the moment and the line is currently syncing at 46.7mbps, which is within the estimates.
