Thought I would get better than this

When I signed up to come with PN I thought that I was going to get better speeds than this, now thinking seriously on going back to BT Broadband

With PN    
With BT Broadband  
What a difference Cry

Re: Thought I would get better than this

have you triend running the speed test on PN against mybroadbandspeed - to give a fair test.
also posting any line stats from your router may help to give an indication of any issues.

Re: Thought I would get better than this

another thought, you might have been put on ADSL2, that will drop your speed if you synch below 4M, I think that PN can switch you back to ADSL, your BT & Stats will show what you are on

Yep, the best thing to do is raise a fault here: https://portal.plus.net/apps/kbdfaults that will allow us to gather the information we need, run some diagnostics and work towards a solution with our suppliers.

Hi Adam
If you think I may have a problem then I will raise a ticket, don't want to waste peoples time, but everything seems so slow to what I have been used to.

Re: Thought I would get better than this

Right, we've noticed that you've been online solidly for 8 days now and your sync speed won't improve without a reboot.
I'd recommend restarting the router during daylight hours for the best chances of your speeds improving. Smiley
