Slow Broadband Speeds

Hi, I am experiencing slower speeds than advertised. I have 'Faster Fibre' and the 'Fibre Speed Boost' yet my speed has never been higher than 24.9Mbps.

Checking the router information page shows this for the Maximum Rate - is there anything that can be done to improve this? Currently I am receiving less than the minimum quoted speed for my package.

An engineer came on Monday but seemingly they just fitted a new socket+faceplate (nte5c mk2 & vdsl/adsl faceplate mk4), with no improvement in speeds.
I had a long conversation with the Live Chat but they were unable to give any useful advice unfortunately.

We can send a router to test with, would you like me to arrange this?

Do you have another router that you can test with?

No, it's plugged straight into the wall with no other devices beside it

Is your router situated close to other electrical devices that could be causing interference or is it connected to a multi-socket electrical extension lead shared with other devices?

OK thanks, do you just have the one telephone socket in your home?

Hi Al-Stew,


Are you experiencing any problems with your telephone service, any noise on the line?

Hi, the minimum guarantee from my contract is 27.6 Mb.

 

The speed is consistently lower than this.

 

Please advise on what can be done to resolve this.

Thanks.

Hello,

 

I've run a test on the line now which hasn't detected a fault. Just to confirm, were you provided with a predicted speed range including a guaranteed minimum?

 

Thanks

It's worth checking in Speed Centre for the minimum guaranteed speed for your line,  @Al-Stew.

 

Follow up the information under Speeds to your Router.

 

Staff will not be back on here before Monday now.
