Unable to upgrade to Fibre Extra to get higher upload

6 months ago I moved from BT Broadband to Plusnet.

 

On BT Broadband I was on Infinity 1, and got around 30Mbps down/7-8Mbps up.

 

After I switched to Plusnet I realised that they restrict the standard "Fibre" package to 2Mbps up.

I just got onto Customer Services to see if I could upgrade to Fibre Extra, and they have told me that I can't have Fibre Extra because my line quality isn't good enough.

Is there any way to get around this?

 

(Seriously annoyed, as if this isn't sorted I'm stuck with Plusnet and the 2Mbps upload limit for another 12 months)

I feel your pain because I get 30/7 from Plusnet! I was on a legacy 40/20 product since it came out and am now on 50/10 courtesy or PN but they won't sell it to more recent customers. Crazy Crazy

yes unfortunately you cannot get any better connection than you have now Sad

You could get a better upload but PN caps it to 2 max ,
