Slow download

For at least the last week my download speed has been less than half of what I'm paying for.

 

No problems with the upload speed.

Kevin.

Re: Slow download

On a wired connection? It is probably worth running through the checks and logging this as a fault even given the time of year so that it is in the queue for action after the holidays. https://www.plus.net/apps/kbdfaults

Re: Slow download

Hi Kevin.

Our tests are detecting a potential line fault so I've raised that to our suppliers now.
We'll be in touch when we've got more info.

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

No problems Kevin.

Fingers crossed it's fixed soon.

Re: Slow download

Returning to problem as I've just returned from holiday.

 

On the advice of the Open Reach engineer who came to my house I moved the Hub One next to the faceplate using supplied cables. I should add that the engineer was getting full speed on his tests.

Connection information on the Hub show 80 Mbps down  and 20 Mbps up.

Speed tests on 3 different devices using wireless and cable gives 17 to 18 up and 30 to 31 down.

Therefore I can only conclude that the problem is further upstream than my connection.

Kevin.

[Edit] Also I had the same results using a BT Hub 5.

Re: Slow download

The problem still exists.

 

Checked today gives the same results as Saturday.

This has been going on now for nearly 2 months.

Re: Slow download

Sorry to hear you're having issues.

Our tests aren't showing any problems.

Can you carry out a speedtest here over a wired connection?

Once you've done that you'll need to click 'Further Diagnostics' and enter your telephone number to upload the result.

Re: Slow download

Fault raised as requested.

Since then silence from Plus Net.

This has now been going on for over 2 months and needs to get sorted.

Re: Slow download

@MatthewWheeler

 

I don't know what you did but speeds are now back to what I had before the problem.

 

I'll leave it for a week or two and if things are still ok I'll flag this as fixed.

Thank you.

Kevin.
