Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

Hello,

 

I have tried to contact you by chat (I can't stand to wait 15 minutes or more by phone) but it's two days that the chat is unavailable.

I'm a new customer with Unlimited Fibre Extra and I switched from BT Infinity 1.

First of all, I still don't understand why it took almost 5 hours to switch the broadband from when I have received the first email that you have switched my phone line.

My secondo concern is that the download/upload speed profile seems to be unchanged and it's now over 24 hours that the change happened.
I'm not expecting a big change in the download speed (even if I have seen better speeds earlier with BT), but 5 Mbps is a very poor upload speed and half of the estimate low bracket on your website.

 

Could you please check and let me know?

Thanks.

Hi , unfortunately the Chat has been turned off Angry by Plusnet to allow more staff on the phone lines .

Hopefully one the the forum staff will see this and check your profile , it may have not been set correctly Thumbs_Up

You could try to reboot your router as it may help Smiley

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

Hi rongtw, I have read after posting about the chat, I can't really wait too much time at the phone while at work.

I have tried to restart the router a couple of times but no joy (not today to be honest).

I would prefer to have confirmation I'm on the right profile first Smiley

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

I have just raised a fault in the end as nobody contacted me.

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

Apologies for the delayed response.

I've checked and you've definitely been moved onto the 80/20 service but you may have a fault as the sync speeds are lower then expected.

We'll get that picked up as soon as possible.

Thank Matthew, could you please let me know how can I check the fault that I have raised earlier? I can't find it in the portal, I would appreciate if you can provide me directions on the menu. Thanks!

Thank you Terranova667, that was it! I didn't expect to see a fault as a question so I didn't check that out Smiley

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

Hi @MatthewWheeler, I have noticed that my line is going up and down a lot now, I understand that you're testing my line however I would like to check with you if you have any updates for me and when the tests are going to end. I have also updated the fault with this information.

Thank you!

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

The drop outs aren't caused by our testing.

I'll reply to your fault ticket in a mo

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

Thank you @Gandalf for the information.

 

I have updated the fault with some more tests.

In particular, I have reached out the connector underneath the Openreach MK3 socket and applied the filter included with the Plusnet One Hub, unfortunately the sync speeds are almost the same 😐

BT wholesale speed test shows:

Download: 38.88

Upload: 4.08

Ping: 50

 

 

I really hope we can get this fixed as soon as possible.

 

Thank you all.

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

Have you done a quiet line test with a corded phone? More info on the help pages.

Re: Upload speeds on Unlimited Fibre Extra

I don't really use the phone, so I don't have one right now to make a test. I need to see if I have an old corded phone somewhere but I'm unsure how reliable it would be.

I'll try to see if I can make that test too, thanks!
