reduced fibre speed

Has anyone experienced sudden drop in fibre service to less than half speed in the last 24 hours?

Re: reduced fibre speed

There's no issues we're aware of.

Are the speeds still poor?

Re: reduced fibre speed

If you try a reboot of the router the speeds should go up.

Re: reduced fibre speed

There isn't any issues with the exchange I can see so I'd recommend raising a fault here

Hi Paul, yes mine dropped by more than half yesterday evening and it's still running slow, been fine for a few weeks. I dont understand why this happens.. very erratic.

Re: reduced fibre speed

yes Matthew I have. This happens quite a lot. It's never been a stable connection, when I first changed to Fibre last 15 months ago it was great at first. I was told by the Engineer the speeds were capable of reaching 80 megs.. Was told I should expect 38 meg. Can you check my profile and ensure I am getting my correct speeds please?

Re: reduced fibre speed

@patti You're on the old 40/20 package so if you wanted more speed you could upgrade to the Fibre Extra package.

The connection looks fine from what I can see.

Are you connecting over a wireless or a wired connection?

Re: reduced fibre speed

No, the pro add-on and Fibre Extra are completely separate.

 

Fibre extra allows speeds up to 76Mbps.

Re: reduced fibre speed

Line seems to have settled back on 10 mb

Extra would be of no benefit because service is not available as I am 3km away from exchange
