Would I benefit from Fibre Extra

Can anyone from PN tell me if I would benefit from upgrading to the Fibre Unlimited Extra package? Smiley

What results do you get from entering your phone number in the DSL Checker?

Re: Would I benefit from Fibre Extra

Thanks for getting in touch.

As your speed estimates show a high value of 45mbps it's unlikely you'll see a great amount of improvement by upgrading to Unlimited Fibre Extra.

 

However, our tests are showing your router in sync at 27mbps which is below the low value of 32mbps so I'd recommend looking at some troubleshooting here then progressing this as a fault here so we can further investigate.

Re: Would I benefit from Fibre Extra

Thanks for the information!

Sorry I am currently on Fibre Unlimited but assumed plus net would know that Wink

 

Would upgrading to the fibre extra increase me upload speed at all? Currently get around 4mb

 

Will give the troubleshooting tips a try and raise a fault if it doesn't improve. 

Also BT have been installing new boxes down the end of my street, is there anywhere to find out what they are for>?

I'm not finding your account now via the usual means, but if you put your landline phone number into the BT checker at www.dslchecker.bt.com what are your upstream estimates?

You could try raising a query with Openreach here.

This is the result. How do I know if I am classed as Clean or Impacted?

Re: Would I benefit from Fibre Extra

Cheers for that. We'd go by the clean rating.

From those estimates, upgrading to fibre extra may improve your upload speeds slightly.
