Sync Speed Dropped again :(

Hey

 

My Sync Speed has dropped again.

Went from 58 to 55

and now

49.00 Mbps

15.66 Mbps

Link to Ookla Speedtest performed over GigE

 

https://www.speedtest.net/result/8880878719

I am using a BT Business Hub 6 connected with an only 20cm long cable.

 

Anything anyone can do to give me a speed boost?

 

Thanks in Advance

Re: Sync Speed Dropped again :(

I've noticed that this particular speed test has dropped a few Mbits/sec - after consistently giving about 70Mb/sec for me.

Strangely enough, it only seems to affect the GUI version of Ookla - the command line version still shows 70Mb/sec.

Why not try https://www.thinkbroadband.com/download as this lets you download a large file, so you could measure the speed if you are equipped with a stop watch. 😀

My Usenet Downloads are are 5.2 Megabytes a Second
5.2 x 8 = 41.6 Megabits real world speed
I regularly used to get high 5's to low 6's

Why not raise a speed fault for Christmas?

Hi @scjgreen

 

Thanks for highlighting this - we've got you in sync at 54mb/s. I've reset your line profile to see if that helps as I can see it was set to 52mb/s.

 

It's worth noting that the minimum guaranteed speed for your line is 40.7mb/s so I wouldn't recommend raising a speed fault at this stage as it's likely that no fault will be found.

 

As always, I'd ensure that you're connected to the test socket of your premises (as shown here)

 

Let us know how you get on.

 

Best wishes

 

Dave

Thanks @RandallFlagg 

 

Seems to have improved, hopefully won't be at this address much longer as i'm moving to a New Build with FTTP & Virgin Cheesy

Re: Sync Speed Dropped again :(

During the last 6 weeks I've seen a modest improvement in speeds.

Here is a graph with a deceptive vertical axis for the last 13 months:-
