Upgrding To Fiber

Hi Every one

I am new here

I have recently change from standard broadband to fiber

 

On the 15th of July I received a email saying that my change had been completed.

On the 22nd of July I received an email saying that my upload speed had been completed. (It has been change to 2mb)

 

 

 

My Question is

I am still on standard download speed of just over 7mb. Instead of the 30mb to 40mb I should be getting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Check Current Linespeed here https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed

If it is still the ADSL number try Chat to get them to fix it

So after spending 30 mins on the phone to get through to someone.

They say I have got to play with wireless channels to get a better signal.

Re: Upgrding To Fiber

Ok what does it say via the link that Old Jim gave, also run the BTW speed test ignore the red writing, once it's finished pick Further diagnostics and post the results.  http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/

this will show if your actually getting the speed you should be getting and we can go from there.

Re: Upgrding To Fiber

The link Jim gave me says

Estimated line speed:40Mb (This may vary between 73.4Mb and 80Mb) - Checked on 2016-07-09 19:46:59Current line speed:38.6 Mb

I have tried 3 times to do a further diagnostics test 

It said that it timed out 2 times and that there was a error on one of them.

 

 

Thanks

Re: Upgrding To Fiber

Your connection hasn't dropped since the profile on our end updated.

Can you reboot the router or log into it to disconnect and then reconnect?

That should sort it.
