I am only getting half of the reported speed. Done various speed tests and shown below. Spoke online to someone on the chat which is awful btw. Suggested I change my package to pay more for a different internet speed? No help.
my router is located in living room and I can’t even get a good connection to my ring doorbell which is less than 5 metres away
what can you do to help? New router a booster ?

Hi @ocasaenva
Please can you create a new topic on the Community, we can then take a look at this for you.

@ocasaenva, you must return to the message board and click on start a topic to post your own thread.
To complete your community forum profile details, go via your avatar/name; settings; personal information. SAVE CHANGES.
You will need to check your current minimum guaranteed speed for your contract. It may be that starting up a new contract in the new property, the capacity of the line was different from your previous home. Staff can look into this for you.
However, if your line is not capable of handling Fibre65 speeds, and if you should have been set up with Fibre35, there's usually very little difference in price, if any.
Speeds are specific to your line and advertised speeds reflect an average, not your specific line's capabilities. Upload speeds are also not guaranteed.
In the Service Status Dashboard, you should be able to find your way to check your speed and your Minimum Guaranteed Speed via My Connection.
By taking out the new contract you also saved yourself a £60.00 Home Move fee. Check on My Account for the end of contract date.
Take care to post accurate dates etc. on here. In the above you say you were put on a 12 month contract in August 2021. If that is the case, it would mean that you are currently out of contract anyway.....

As far as I understand it, with a home move you normally have the option to either pay a fee or else start a new contract.
If you want staff to help you with your issues, you really need to start your own topic on the forum. It would probably also help to update
your forum profile with your personal details and your TalkTalk landline number in order that they are able to access your account (don't post personal details on the thread though).

Will keep this as short as possible!
Currently with Talk Talk on their Fibre 60 and have been since March 2019. The speeds are absolutely shocking and way below what they advertise and what we pay for (£29 a month just for internet) We moved house in August 2021 and was planning to leave Talk Talk due to the rubbish service we get. But when we moved they automatically locked us in to another 12 months just for moving. Is this right and a normal thing? On top of the rubbish internet speeds which max out at 6 upload speed. What are my rights to either cancel early or claw some money back for not receiving the service they are saying they provide?
Appreciate all your time on this one x

2 sockets only the router connected to the master socket

OK. How many telephone sockets do you have? Do you have anything connected to your telephone socket(s) other than the router?

I do not use a home phone broadband only

The speed you actually receive vary depending mainly on the length a quality of the copper cable from the street cabinet to your home. Are you experiencing any problems with your telephone service, any noise on the line?

It states the average is 77 on your website so I am only getting less than half of the average?
on 27-02-2023 11:55 AM
Thanks for updating your profile. Line test is passing and your router is in sync at 33.8Mbps. The speed test results that you are seeing are within the range that we would expect for the sync speed. When you say you are only getting half of the reported speed what do you mean by 'reported speed'?
