Super Slow Broadband

[#1]

Hi Plusnet, I've been using your broadband since the end of October and frankly the line speed has been poor at best. The fastest upload speed I have recorded so far using mybroadbandspeed.co.uk has been 0.6mb. We usually sit around 0.2mb which is pretty much unusable for browsing and neither me or my housemate have been able to stream anything since switching to Plusnet. I have called Plusnet a couple of times regarding the problem and they just refer me back to the online list of possible faults. Having tried all of these to find no improvement in speed I'm unsure what to do now. Our old service with TalkTalk always worked perfectly and we usually sat at around 1.5mb which is more than enough for our house. Hopefully there is a solution to this problem as I feel a bit annoyed to be paying for such crappy broadband.

Please help me Plusnet!

Cheers,

Tom

@chattanavenue22 - You should remove your phone number from this post, it is after all a public forum, you don't want it harvested or start getting silly phone calls.

Hello @chattanavenue22

Sorry to hear you're having speed issues. I've been testing your broadband, which looks like to be banded at 1 Mbps and the last connection was running at 0.7 Mbps.

At the moment, the router isn't synchronising to the exchange. Can you try running through the checks here: https://community.plus.net/t5/Library/Testing-From-The-Master-Socket/ba-p/1322242 and let me know how you get on please?

Thanks.

Hi Anoush,

Thanks for getting in touch. I've tried these check however the internet is now no longer working! I'm having to write to you using my mobile data which is rather annoying. I'm not sure what to do now!

Cheers,
