Hi Chrissie.

Yes, they could replace the hub but the point is that their hubs can play up. Also, its worth testing the speed via a wired connection. don't test your speed via WiFi because its not reliable enough. Trying a different port won't make any difference if you're already connected via an ethernet cable. Let us know how you get on. What you're aiming to achieve by replacing their hub is control of your connection so you can actually see what's going on with it.

cheers,

Mo.

Hi, before the hubs, thought of changing the channels on which the network
is? I don't know any more, as when I did it Vergin, they did it remotely for
me, but that has certainly fixed things.

Yes I suspect you're right but shouldn't they replace the hub as part
of your agreement with them?  I guess because they're line check says
the line is fine, they're not prepared to admit there's anything actually
wrong.

Hi Chrissie.

It could be the BT hub that's at fault. Try replacing the hub with an
alternative such as the TP-Link TD-W9980 Fiber router which
incidentally BT sell in their online shop! the irony. they're
recommending products from other manufacturers probably because they
can't provide the same quality via their own BT hubs. The interface is
also awful the last time I tried a BT hub. I replace all equipment
from any ISP that i'm with with my own so I can directly troubleshoot
issues.
cheers,

Mo.

Hi,

Plusnet told me, that OpenReach do have lower tolerances.  I think
it's about 5MB.  If you can't get at least 5MB up on fibre, you can
report it to Openreach.

All the best

Steve

Well interestingly enough up till a couple of weeks ago I was
getting
8 to 10mbps but 0.99! I could almost get better rom dialup.  I'll
try your suggestion.  i guess they're only interested in download as
it's often from that people make money, not uploads, or am I just
being
cinical?

Hi, I'll give it a guess, sounds as if the BT cables around your
area, can't handle hier speeds.  I ran a speed test app through my
Vergin, where they say I get 100 megs, and indeed, I got 105 megs once.
Unfortunately, this is where not existing tech support of BT becomes
an issue.  Have you tried searching google, find BT's post code
checker, putting in BT's post code, and find out what BT's web
checker
says about your area?

while we're talking broadband speed, can anyone give me some advice
on what to do next concerning broadband speeds.

I am with BT and have BT infinity 2 which gives me download speeds
up to 80 mbps and I should get an upload speed of up to, though I'll
never get it, 20mbps.  Believe it or not, using the BT speedtest I
get a download speed of
61 mbps which is certainly acceptable, however my upload speed is
0.99 mbps
which certainly isn't acceptable.  I have been in touch with BT and
believe it or not I was told, by their broadband technical team that
they do not guarantee an upload speed and consequently don't appear
to want to do anything about it.  This has gone on for the last 2
weeks going backwards and forwards with them and they don't seem
inclined to
send out an engineer.
I've done the usual stuff like powering off the hubg and the router
and powering back on, plus re-setting the hub with no increase in
upload
speed.
anyone know how I can take this further please.

thanks for any assistance.

Chrissie

Can someone point me to a simple program to check my broadband speed
please.
The ones I've found are far too complicated for me I'm afraid.

Many thanks Roger
