Still no phone, no broadband

[#1]

I have rather long outstanding ticket relating to getting a phone line and broadband up following moving house in mid-July.

Speaking to someone from CSC on Friday, openreach were supposedly going to complete the fibre order on Monday (yesterday). As of this morning I still have no dial tone and the plusnet router is indicating a problem with the line. Seeing as phone lines seem to be down for anything useful at the moment I'm having to post on here in an effort to work out what's going on now.

Related to this I've just been billed for August which I'm not particularly happy about given that Plusnet aren't actually providing me with any service at all at the moment.

Thanks for the update on my account. Following a visit from an Openreach engineer last Friday I now having a working phone line and broadband which is a great improvement.

However, I'm not seeing download speeds beyond 6/7mbps on what is meant to be a 38mbps fibre package. Oddly upload speeds are fine and can reach up to 9mbps. Why are my download speeds so poor?

Hi @waynec

Glad to hear you now have a working phone and broadband service.

After testing the line, I have identified the speed coming through to the router as 40Mbps. However, the connection profile on your account did not match the speed of your service. I have increased the connection profile to match your speed, please turn your router off then back on and let us know if you see an improvement.

Thank you.

Thanks for that @Jubby! Latest speed test now shows 30mbps down and 8mpbs up, so looks like you've sorted it.
