Upload speed change after moving to unlimited....


After I received notification of my "user allowance nearing it's capacity" recently, I decided to switch to the unlimited package. This turned out to be £5 per month cheaper than my inferior current  "old" package... Thanks PN..  Roll_eyes
Anyway, since the changeover, I've noticed that my upload speed has dropped off on several occasions. Coincidence?  Doubtful.....

Re: Upload speed change after moving to unlimited....

Our testing isn't showing any issues and your current upload sync speed is around 6mbps.
What results are you seeing and is this over a wired or wireless connection?

Between the 3rd and 9th May, I was getting upload speeds of between 3 and 4.3mbps. In March I was consistently achieving over 6mbps. Just checked, and it's about 5.5 today.  Wired connection.

This evening (17/5) I am getting 2.5mbps upload speed consistently, which really isn't good enough....

Your upload sync has dropped down to around 2.9mbps.
I'd recommend raising a fault here.

Re: Upload speed change after moving to unlimited....


Finally got a reply today, and the result is nothing can be done. This is despite the fact that I was achieving upload speed of nearly 6Mbps all of this Year until this drop off....  I would imagine something has been changed somewhere....

Re: Upload speed change after moving to unlimited....

I have a similar issue. My upstream varies between 900kbps and 5.5mbps. With an unlocked modem I've traced sudden rather than gradual jumps and drops. Various engineer visits found nothing wrong here but indicated excessive RFI. Finally one engineer tried at various underground distribution points and  narrowed it down to a length of cable between two; either a bad buried joint or split pairs.
However, getting it fixed is another matter, PN have tried their best but BTOR's excuses are becoming farcial.

Hmmmm.... There's been a fair bit of BT activity around here recently..  I suppose I should be thankful that I'm getting 2.5 Mbps..  Tongue

Apparently I need an engineer's visit... Just the "small" matter of providing 3 available time slots (ie: half days!!) for their convenience...
