Unlimited Fibre Plus upgrade - slow speed

Hi,

I was upgraded to fibre on Monday, but speeds didn't increase above 18Mbps, so I chatted with a Plus Net adviser who reset something and it improved to 45mbps. Now it is down to 27Mbps, and an IP profile of 77Mbps. Something isn't quite right. Can you take a look please?

 

Thanks

Re: Unlimited Fibre Plus upgrade - slow speed

The thing they altered is the Plusnet line Speed which you can find here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed ( Login required) I would bookmark this link as Plusnet removed it from the Member Centre last year and it is handy to have to check against.

 

If that has been changed back down, then give them a call/Chat and get it changed again to the correct value. Once set correctly, then you will need to log onto the router, click "Disconnect", wait a minute and then click "Connect" to get the new speed values.

Can you try a single disconnect/reconnect and then try a wired speedtest to see what it's looking like now.

Re: Unlimited Fibre Plus upgrade - slow speed

Was the test done via Wi-Fi or Ethernet cable ?,

the BTW IP profile is as it should be and the plusnet profile matches so that isn't slowing you down.

If your using Wi-Fi have you tried manually setting the channel 1,6 or 11 are the best ones to use, the problem with Wi-Fi is it's prone to interference from many things which can lower the speed especially the further away from the router you are and if brick walls ect are involved.

The speed test was executed on my PC connected via Ethernet plugged direct to the Home Hub

Re: Unlimited Fibre Plus upgrade - slow speed

Still no better! Can I downgrade and save £10 a month for the sake of a few extra Mbps
