Upload suddenly dropped from 10mbps to <2mbps

I switched to the Unlimited Fibre package as soon as it became available in my area, at the beginning of August 2015.

I think the 40/20 product had already been superseded with 40/2 by then. However, from day one, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had 10mbps upload speed, which continued until a few days ago - since when it suddenly seems to have dropped to ~ 1.5mbps.

To be clear - this is not a complaint, as I know I've been getting more than I was entitled to for the last 10 months. My only reason for asking is that I just want to check that this decrease is because my upload has been changed to what it should be, and is not due to a fault.

Download speed seems pretty much OK, tested at 33-34 this morning, although I usually get 36-37.

If the <2mbps is what I'm stuck with now, I'll probably upgrade to Fibre Extra, as it feels too sloooow having got accustomed to 10mbps Smiley

Fix

Plusnet are going through an exercise and correcting those mistakenly given 40/20 see https://community.plus.net/t5/Fibre-Broadband/Re-Upload-speed-reduced/m-p/1343134#M40105

 

Just a shame that they didn't notify people first as it is causing lots of new topics in the forum.

Re: Upload suddenly dropped from 10mbps to <2mbps

Not an issue, I just picked one out that had an official response. I knew the topics were being discussed so I thought I would help. Hope the text didn't come across as too abrupt. Please never feel that you have to apologise for asking a question here.

Even if you had searched I doubt it would have come out at the top of the search results. The search system on the forum is hard work.

No worries, your post didn't come across as abrupt at all.

I see others are kicking off about the change - fair enough if you signed up before the cutoff date but, if not, ejecting toys from pram seems rather pointless and unnecessary.
