Hello,
This is my first post, so hello everyone. I've actually been on Plusnet for years but because I've never had any issue I had no reason to post.
Well today I had an openreach engineer come and install my full fibre 300 and to be honest I'm very disappointed.
I've had unlimited fibre extra for years and been really happy although I never used the plusnet router, instead I had a
TP Link AC1750 which gave me good speeds.
I'm now using the plusnet one hub and despite my laptop being less than 3 meters from the hub the maximum speed im getting is 38mbps, which is less than what I was getting before. Is this normal?
Is there a settling in period?
Does full fibre start as soon as the the engineer installs it or do I have to wait until my next billing period?
Thanks in advance
Fixed! Go to the fix.

that doesn't sound right. You should have been sent a Hub 2

@coleman83 It could be that Plusnet have not yet completed the account change to FTTP (Full Fibre) . It should happen overnight but you should only test your speed with a wired ethernet connection as WiFi can be so unpredictable. If the wired test is ok then try the wifi.

Hi,
Yes I've been trying wired today, it's giving me about 97mb/s which is faster than I had before which was about 76 but nowhere near what I had hoped for. Wi fi seems to have settled at about 44mb/s which is what I had before.
My plusnet profile is still not showing full fibre 300 just what I had before so I'm assuming I haven't been switched over yet.
I'm hoping that's the case.
Thanks
Chris

That sounds like the account change hasnt completed fully yet.

Hi @coleman83
I'm sorry to hear your speeds haven't improved yet.
@MisterW has guessed correctly that things aren't fully complete on our side yet
I've given everything a kick for you now and if you reboot the router hopefully you'll see an improvement
Let us know how you get on

Hi Mathew,
Thanks for the reply, im now being informed that the transfer is complete. It's showing Full fibre 300 on my account.
Ive also rebooted the modem about 20 minutes ago and i'm now testing with a wired connection.
So far i'm seeing no change to what it was yesterday, its maxing out download at 98mb/s. Nowhere near where it should be.
I'm going to turn off the router and leave for 10 minutes and come back
Thanks
Chris

that sounds suspiciously like you. might have a cable or a network card that's only 100Mb capable rather than Gigabit.

Hi,
Yes you are right, my laptop doesn't have a gigabit connection, nor does my other mini pc.
So I tried a wire connection on my PS5 which does have a gigabit network card and....300mb/s!
Which is pretty tasty.
So speed wise wired everything is okay. I am still disappointed with the wifi speed of the hub2.
Using my phone 1 meter away i'm getting 18mbps, I can get 20 mbps on 4G in an area that's notorious
for poor coverage.
Thanks for all you help.
Chris
