line speed dropped to 21 Mb

Is there a particular reason why my line speed has dropped to ADSL values or is it just another bug in the PN system?

 

 

Estimated line speed:There's no speed estimate currently held on your account.Current

line speed:21 Mb

Another bug is very likely.

 

Give Plusnet a call or Chat or hope a member of Staff picks this up.

Re: line speed dropped to 21 Mb

Hi rhohne,

 

Diagnostic tests are indicating a fault which is likely to be causing this.

 

I'd head over to http://faults.plus.net for troubleshooting advice, this will also allow you to report the fault with us if you're unable to resolve the issue yourself.

If this post resolved your issue please click the 'This fixed my problem' button

Re: line speed dropped to 21 Mb

Don't worry about reporting a fault. Just try a disconnect/reconnect now and see what the speeds are like.

Re: line speed dropped to 21 Mb

Current line speed bumped to 37Mb between 12:00 and 12:25

Dropped back to expected 33.8Mb at 18:30 on disconnect/reconnect as requested by Chris

 

Estimated line speed still missing

Is there any further info on "Diagnostic tests are indicating a fault which is likely to be causing this"

Re: line speed dropped to 21 Mb

I'm not sure what Adam was referring to, the problem was that the profile on our side was set incorrectly at 21Mb. I fixed this and you saw an increase in speed.

 

The estimated speed being absent from that page is going to cause zero issues.

Re: line speed dropped to 21 Mb

Your's doesn't seem to be the same issue, the profile is set correctly. Can you run a BT Speedtest and do the further diagnostics after the first part completes please. http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/

Re: line speed dropped to 21 Mb

Currently out but I'll do this asap, but various speedtests at random times have gone from ~50/25 originally to as low as 15/8 u/d with extreme variations in ping, anywhere from 10ms up to 300+

Is there any difference in the BT boxes (the 'modem' part as it were) as we have the same old one from when fibre was first available. It seemed to be fine at 40mb at my old home tho. It then links into a very high end Asus router so everything should be dandy in that sense.

This thread is going off topic. It has nothing to do with speed tests but with the following four fields been removed/incorrect

    Telephone number:

    Phone exchange:

    Estimated line speed:
