Upload speed has halved in recent weeks

I used to regularly get 13-15mb down and 2.2-2.5 up.

 

Download speed is about the same but my my upload speed has halved and is usually around 1.1-1.4 mb.

 

I'm concerned that this will affect my online gaming sessions particularly with Destiny 2 around the corner. I check the speeds every couple of days onboth on my PS4 connection tester and speedtest.net

 

Can anyone check if there's a fault on the line or recommend any measures to rectify this

 

 

I haven't got an exact timeframe but the upload speed has dropped in the last 4-6 weeks

Re: Upload speed has halved in recent weeks

Our tests aren't showing any issues but I can see the upload speed has dropped.

Unfortunately it's just within the low estimates for your line so our suppliers wouldn't accept this as a fault I'm afraid.

Re: Upload speed has halved in recent weeks

I have had a steady speed of 2mb+ since June 2015 so there must be something causing it to drop recently especially as you've confirmed it

 

I am currently out of contract so am prepared to shop round other ISPs if you're not willing to resolve it for me.

Re: Upload speed has halved in recent weeks

Whilst your upstream is within the impacted estimates, it is slightly below the clean range [you can view these at www.dslchecker.bt.com] so we could try to report a fault to BT but it's likely that it'll be rejected as it's not really enough of a drop in speed.

 

Having said that, feel free to raise the fault at http://faults.plus.net and let us know once you've done that.

Re: Upload speed has halved in recent weeks

I've raised a ticket but it hasn't given me a number. I find it quite incredible that you think a drop by over 50% is not really much of a decrease in speed.

 

Considering what I'm paying you monthly I'd expect you to put some effort into resolving this rather than trying to fob me off from the start

Re: Upload speed has halved in recent weeks

We're not trying to fob you off, we're setting expectations that as the *sync* speed is not far below the minimum end of the range this may not be something that is accepted as a fault by our suppliers.

 

Your line is synced at 2.3Mb/s on the upstream.

 

We'll get your fault picked up asap and update you there.
