Re: Very Slow Fiber speed after upgrade from ADSL

The openreach engineer replaced a 20 year old external junction box and some corroded wiring. After testing the line he said that should be the issue fixed. The line seems to be staying about 30Mbps. Is it possible to run a test on it to confirm the fault has gone?

Disappointingly the speed is back down to 5Mbps.

Re: Very Slow Fiber speed after upgrade from ADSL

Hello @wmackay,

 

I am sorry to see that your issue with your speed has returned. I have tested your line and there's definitely something out of place as your speed is showing 6Mbps on our side. Is there any chance you can plug your connection into the test socket and run a wired speed test with the one device connected?

 

A guide on how to locate the test socket can be found here.

 

If the speed is still below estimates, please can attached the results to the fault ticket and let us know here so we can get this picked up.

The router is now in the test socket. The speed was 30Mbps to start withbut has already dropped to 16Mbps and will probably keep on dropping.

Re: Very Slow Fiber speed after upgrade from ADSL

Hello @wmackay,

 

I am sorry to hear that the speed did not improve within the test socket and for the inconvenience this is causing. I have rejected the fault back to our suppliers and we are currently are awaiting for their response as to how they would like to proceed.

 

It is likely they will want to send an engineer to investigate the issue further and in preparation for that, please can you update the fault ticket with your availability.

Re: Very Slow Fiber speed after upgrade from ADSL

There has been no sign for an engineer today and no change in speed. Still 5 to 6Mbps
