Re: slow fibre speeds

My speeds tend to alter within that range, not really a problem for me.

I suspect the time of day along with various other factors cause this.

More important for me is a stable connection with no drop outs rather than changes in speed.

If it dropped much below 30 then of course I would be concerned

Re: slow fibre speeds

I would be happy to get close to 30 so far since joining on Unlimited Fibre the fastest I have had is 18.2 with the slowest 5.7, wish I had never left BT.......

Re: slow fibre speeds

What is your phone like? Is it quiet if you dial 17070 option 2?

It looks like DLM has reduced your speeds, possibly due to a noisy line.

Re: slow fibre speeds

@gleneagles I've read plusnet stopped doing traffic management on their lines?

Re: slow fibre speeds

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing speed problems

Testing your line is showing your router in sync at 35mbps. Whilst it is banded at that:

Profile Name 0.128M-35M Downstream, Interleaving Low - 0.128M-10M Upstream, Error Protection Off

as the speed is within your estimates there isn't much we can do to further investigate.

 

If your speeds drop below the estimates I'd raise a fault to us at http://faults.plus.net

From 31st October 2022, I no longer have a regular presence here as I’ve moved on to a new role.
