No speed difference from 500Mb to 900Mb service

ufo_IV23RU_1 — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 13:22:08 GMT

Hi, I've just updated my 500 service to the 900 service and there is no noticeable speed difference in my connection at all. I've received the email from TT announcing my 900 service as live but nothing has changed.

Just completed a speed test using OOKLA and getting 515Mb down and 259Mb up. This doesn't equate to agreed expected speeds for this service upgrade.

Updated the Eero Pro 6 last night after fitting it in place of my Sagecom router and my computer is WiFi6 enabled although I'm using it cabled direct to a gigabit switch to router.

Any assistance welcomed as I'm not sure all is setup as it should be but was done according to the install instructions on the Eero and Switch.

What speed is the eero Pro 6 showing? In the app expand the Internet section from the Home tab and it is in there.

I'm using Cat5E ethernet cable from my main computer to the gigabit switch but that should be capable of up to 1 gigabit transfer. Think this is maybe a separate issue to the Eero speed though.

Your full fibre is still only running the fFf500 service. Turn the ONT off for at least 30 mins & it might pick up the 900 service.

I think you're going to need the support team to investigate, bear in mind that they won't be back online until Monday.

Sorry to hijack (I have the same issue) What does turning off the ONT do? When I upgraded I was not told to do this and I remember on setup the installer told me never to turn off that box.

@AndyAces1

It gives the session a chance to reset, but you need to switch the ONT off a full 30 minutes. It does looks like the support team are already progressing your case looking at your own topic. Are you on a City Fibre circuit also?

AndyAces1 — Fri, 10 Jan 2025 19:24:06 GMT

Yes, city fibre did the install I think.

OK, which matches with this case. Have you tried the switch off? Otherwise wait for a further response from Chris or another member of the team next week. But please make any further comments on your own topic.

@ufo_IV23RU_1

Your situation does seem similar. As I mentioned earlier, wait for the support team to pick this up.

In an hour can you switch off the ONT then switch it back on and check the speed again. Please let me know how you get on

Just turned off the ONT. Ran a speed test before and after but still showing the 500 service. 537 down and 538 up.

Chris-TalkTalk — Mon, 13 Jan 2025 15:29:17 GMT

OK thanks. I've checked and the speed upgrade has been requested so it should go through some time today so I'll check again with you in the morning, hopefully the speed will have increased by then
