Re: Using a very old router

@vertex1 Your results do not make much sense, to be honest. The download/upload speeds suggest - to me - that you are on an 80/20 FTTC connection, but the download suggests there is a fault. If you can get 16.2 on upload, your download should be in the 60/70 range.

You can use the following to see what speeds OR expect you to receive.

If you don't understand the results post a screen image of the results after hiding your details.

... or that the speed test was done over WiFi or via powerline adaptors ?  (which would also explain the 43.6 ms latency)

@vertex1 

Thanks for the information.

 

It shows you should be getting between 80 and 65.2 down and 20 to 17.4 up.

Re: Using a very old router

Interesting. Thanks. Im happy with the speed TBH, it was more the security that I was concerned with. But, after reading the posts, seems like I should be worries about the reverse!

As you are below the hand-back threshold, you have a right to raise a speed issue via https://www.plus.net/help/report-a-problem/@vertex1
