plusnet online chat not working.
any way of checking the router has been sent.
BT have confirmed they will be here tomorrow afternoon.
I have a BT hub 4 which i could use,
but i will need a long Ethernet cable,
i was told my router kit was to be supplied with a 10m cable.
will the BT engineer have any long cables with him.

Quote Still no sign of router
Sadly not an uncommon occurrence these days as PN customer service goes from bad to worse. Obviously the router could still arrive tomorrow but your HH4 will be OK & the engineer will have plenty of cabling.
Good luck.

I can see it was ordered yesterday but doesn't show as dispatched.
Ordering another now
You can use your HH4 in the meantime but would need to source your own ethernet cable if a longer one is needed.
UPDATE: Due to the timings involved this should reach you tomorrow, please PM me if not.

To me this is a real anomally with PN whereby so many errors can only be rectified by the PN staff who man these forums. Nice one Adam.

so set up first on bt hub4.
then plusnet router arrived.
thanks to Adam.
so we set up on that one.
very poor download speeds on both routers, under 6mbits/s.
upload speed as quoted for the 40-2 package
will this settle down to a higher speed or do i have a fault

You can check what Plusnet have set your line speed to at https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed . it will ask for your Plusnet username and password.
Once it shows a higher speed, you will need to log on to the router and perform a disconnect /reconnect to get the higher speed.

As Plusnet staff have not commented on this thread, then you need to get Plusnet on the case. There is a sticky on this forum called "Fibre Fault Guides" which will point you to http://community.plus.net/library/broadband/broadband-faults-guide-fttc/ .
Follow the section marked "Speed Fault (EPP)" and then log the fault at http://faults.plus.net/
Or you could wait for a Plusnet staffer to see this thread and hope that they take pity on you and check out the system for you.

I moved the modem and router to the loft next to the bt mastersocket.
so short cable only needed.
I tried with my laptop plugged in by Ethernet
the speeds are sill the same 5mb.
how long do i have to wait before an engineer call out.

Sadly that is the case. I've replaced mine with an Asus.
