Slow fibre speeds

Hi I wonder if you can help. I transferred to Plusnet Fibre extra on 26th February, so now almost but my speed is so slow, i have run various speed tests always coming out around the same, I think my minimum guaranteed speed is around 60, I am getting nowhere near that. Constant buffering, at the moment I wish I hadnt changed supplier. Is there anything that can be done to enable me to get the speeds I am paying for. I look forward to hearing from you.
Dee

Re: Slow fibre speeds

Hi Dee. Sorry to hear you're experiencing speed problems.

Our tests are showing your router in sync at 73.9mbps and aren't finding any issues.

 

Are your devices connecting over WiFi or straight to the router using an ethernet cable?

If you're using WiFi, would you be able to try a wired connection? This will help narrow down where the problem lies. If your speed is OK that way, then it's likely the issue lies with the wireless signal and further help can be found here: https://community.plus.net/t5/Plusnet-Blogs/How-to-boost-your-wi-fi/ba-p/1450193

If you're still having problems using a wired connection, please can you run a speed test at www.speedtest.btwholesale.com completing the further diagnostics?

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