Speed

Since installation on June 14th, my speeds have been less that 2MBPS, but I was guaranteed at least 11MBPS

its never improved, and is still extremely slow, can someone please get back to me about this, as it’s not what was promised.
Thanks.

Hi @Lcfclad05

Please can you add your name and TalkTalk landline number to your Community Profile, we can then take a look at this for you.

Thanks

Debbie

I believe I have now done this. At the moment, I cannot even use it, and I’ve already been charged for it as well and it’s unusable. Thanks.

Hi Lcfclad05

Thank you. I've reset the data port and optimised the connection and the line is in sync at just under 3.5mb.

The predicted speed range for your line is showing between 2.8 and 1.7mb.

Did you receive an email with predicted the speeds? Is the router currently connected at the test socket?

Yes I received an email saying I’d get guaranteed 11MB, which is why I chose TalkTalk in the first place. I also got billed £35 today when Ive only had it for about a week. Yes I believe it’s in the test socket as well.

Hi Lcfclad05

Would it be possible to send me a photo of the email with the predicted speed via Private Message?

I have just gone onto the TalkTalk website and put in my address to check packages and this is the exact package I bought attached below, which says 11MB download and 1MB upload and I’m not getting the 11 MB download. Thanks

Hi Lcfclad05

That is the average speed not guaranteed speed range.

On the email you received there should show a minimum range for your line.

I don’t have anything on email that shows what I’ll be getting, I only have emails saying when it starts, when my direct debit comes out and what my Housephone number is.

Hi Lcfclad05

The speed you receive is based upon your line length/quality and how the line is routed.

The speed advised is an average and the predicted speed for your line is showing - between 2.8 and 1.7mb.

Sorry to jump onto this thread, but out of curiosity, why would the speed be so low anyway. Given that the predicted speed is 11mb. That seems low.

Would a higher speed package from Talktalk, increase there speed?

There are areas where FTTC is not available, @tsmiggy.

People are only on this slowest package (Fast Broadband) from Talktalk where there is no other option.

It is actually among the more expensive options at the bottom end of the range, when out of contract. Customers don't opt for that unless they have no choice!

Hi @tsmiggy

Only if FTTC or FTTP were available would the speed increase.
