A few months ago I received an email advising my fibre bb speed would be going up to around 50mb. I thought thats great, looking forward to that, well a few months later this has happened as I cant even get the 38mb I should be getting, this actually got worse instead of better. I have raised a issue about it in the chat which plusnet advisor as very kindly end up ignoring after he advised me to reboot my router. Did anyone get this upgrade.
Thanks
Fixed! Go to the fix.

it was changing all the people on the 40/20 package to a 55/10 package.
however you would only see a difference if youe line could actually attain speeds higher than 40Mbps in the first place.
nothing physical was being upgraded, it was simply a package change.
if you were already syncing at under 40Mbps then you would see no speed increase as your line isn't capable of it.
all you would see is a drop in your upstream from 20Mbps to 10Mbps.

You seem to be ignoring the words 'up to'. If your line will not support 38Mbps then I'm afraid it ain't going to go faster just because PN has increased the top limit from 40 to 55Mbps. However if your upstream speed was greater than 9.5Mbps you will see that this has dropped..
Is the limitation to your speed due to your line or a fault. Have you run the BT wholesale speed checker,.

While what the others have said is correcct, that you'd not receive higher than 38Mbps if you line wasn't capable of more, the estimates for your line are over 55Mbps, so I'd expect you to be getting more than the less than 38Mbps you've mentioned. Your sync speed is currently higher than this.
I'm just checking a few things on the account and I'll get back to you.

I must say i got annoyed when PN posted " WE GIVING YOU A FREE UPLOAD "
When in fact they should have told people its a package change , and some would get a increase if their line was capable !
Some customers obviously presumed their DL would increase but in fact all PN did was to cap Upload speed
This was badly handled by PN
Yes some got extra download but ALL got upload capped

16 gig Avexir ram 2400 , water cooling Corsair H100i gtx ,
Corsair 750HXI Psu , Phanteks Enthoo pro case .

@tolmie35 - Could you try a disconnect/reconnect now. the speed profile of 40 has been correctly increased to 55 now.
As you're line is in sync at higher than this, you should now be getting higher speeds.

When you say ALL, that's not really fair.
Yes, some people got extra download and yes a lot will have had reduced upload, but you're missing out the others that were getting less than 10Mbps upload anyway? Their upload was not reduced any further than it already was.

So when are Plusnet going to improve my line and the many others of us that are not reaching the 40Mb that my estimate says I might get?
Also improve so we would get the new version of 55Mb or even so we can choose to pay more and get the up to 80 Mb?
It is annoying we pay the 40/55 Mb prices, no reductions for our poor quality lines.

the line is owned and maintained by openreach.
no ISPs have any control over the physical network.
speak to your local MP if you want to put pressure on openreach to improve the network.

Yes but that is all wrong.
Plusnet take our money do they not and due to Plusnet lack of care for their customers OR get away with murder.
But of course back fires on Plusnet you can see that from customer dissatisfaction shown in these forums.
I wonder what the percentage of PN customers leave at the end of their 18 month contracts?

Thread title is "What ever happened to the speed upgrade" and that is what I'm posting about and the fact I have not seen it as the other posters have talked about and we being told it is our phone lines that are the cause hence my post.

From my past reading in Forums I recall being near the exchange does challenge fibre broadband as lines go into the exchange rather than like those of us with fibre cabinets in between.
Do you think this might be in your case?
