Hi,

I feel confused. I pay for 80mb but get 1-10mb
Please fix.

Hi,
thank you for your reply.
Could you specify which stats are you interested in?
I connected a month ago.
So I have the sagecom plusnet hub one which is the latest one I assume.
All settings are at their default values.
Kind Regards,
Evald

Hi there. You'll probably find this thread moved to the Fibre board at some point by a mod. (Don't get excited about that).
Using the Hub One if you go to http://192.168.1.254/ and click the <Troubleshooting> Tab, then <Helpdesk> it should prompt you to login - the password is on the plastic card and is case sensitive.
Copy and Paste the page into a post, BUT redact the serial number, broadband username, SSIDs and the MAC Address.
If you can also run the BTw Speedtest and go to the Further Diagnostics at the bottom of the first run page. Ignore the red pre-amble - DON'T REBOOT (except make sure nothing else is using the connection). The diagnostics is to get the IP Profile. Copy and paste the output to a post - no need to bother with the graphics.
Also check to see what it says for Current Line Speed don't post your phone number.
Also check Which Gateway you are on

Current line speed:77.4 Mb
"Also check Which Gateway you are on"
You are currently connected to gateway ptw-bng02.
This is located in Telehouse West.
Current speed according to speed.test is 14mb. at 12:31:25 it was around 55mb (I was checking all day)

Those throughput speeds are truly bad and clearly indicative of a problem which looks like congestion - assuming you didn't do them over a wireless connection. The Tap3 test suggests this could be somewhere on the BT Backhaul routing rather than in the Plusnet Network. By dropping the PPP session - this disconnects your routing to Plusnet - but NOT your connection to the Cab, which is fine. On establishing a new session, the routing can be different and that may improve the situation. But read on.
As mentioned your connection to the Cab is fine, you are obviously close enough to it to be connected at full speed and the Profiles and Current Line Speed are correct.
If you carried out those speedtests using a wireless connection rather than ethernet connection, this could be a wireless issue. Please repeat the tests with an ethernet connection and the wireless turned off. If you are unable to use an ethernet connection, then repeat the test with you device close to the Hub One, say about a metre to minimise the risk of interference to the wireless connection being the cause. Make sure no other devices are using the connection.
If the tests were carried out using an ethernet connection, then goto the Hub One home page http://192.168.1.254/ click <Advanced Settings> and login. Click <Continue to Advanced Settings> then select <Broadband> and then <Internet>. (Make a note of your IP address and Gateway address) You should see a <Disconnect> button on the bottom RHS. Click that. Wait about 30 seconds or so, if need be refresh the page, then click Connect. You should notice you have a different IP address and probably Gateway and hopefully your routing will also be different that you aren't suffering the issue.
Repeat the Speedtests and see if the issue is currently resolved.

I would suggest that you log a fault at https://faults.plus.net

You need to log a fault as suggested by SpendLessTime. Make sure that you have run the BTw Diagnostic Test with a bad result as mentioned previously.
I assume your BT IP Profile is still OK. Out of curiosity which Gateway are you now on?
Edit: just cancelling your contract could get you into all sorts of hot water and financial penalties - unless perhaps you are still within a 14day cooling-off period IIRC BUT I would read all the Legal Stuff and Ts&Cs very carefully before contemplating such action and make it very clear to Plusnet your reasons - but again don't "cancel" as such if you go down that route - MIGRATE to another supplier otherwise you could lose not only the broadband but the phone line and number!

I am paying for service I am not getting, isn't that stealing?
Edit: Not trying to be cocky, I know it's a rhetorical question.
But you could guess my frustration.
I will log the fault, thanks
