EE Smart Hub question

I'm on fiber plus but for some reason the router stats are showing low sync speeds.  

 

Data rate:15.00 Mbps / 20.00 Mbps
 

 

Maximum data rate:16.44 Mbps / 56.71 Mbps
 
Do I just ring the number and ask a techie to fix it?  Or is there something I can do at this end. 
 
Contract promise:

Minimum Fibre Download Speed is 46.2 Mb/Sec

Welcome to EE's Home Broadband Forum.

How long has it been like this? Has any  work been going on in your neighbour hood recently

If you would like help with your BB speed or connection issues, please would you carry out the following steps for starters, which will enable us to diagnose the problem and advise you further. Do not restart your router to do these tests:

1. Post your full router stats:

  • For a BrightBox: login and go to Advanced Settings/ System/ DSL Status. Also post 'System Uptime' from top of System Log page.
  • For a SmartHub: login and go to Advanced Settings/ Technical Log/ Information. Obscure your names & any numbers in the BB Username & also the SSIDs.

Full router stats are key to any speed & connection issues.

2. What does BT Wholesale Broadband Availability Checker estimate for your phone number? Post just the whole table and the line above it, blanking out your phone number. If it doesn't recognise your phone number or you don't have one, use the Address Checker, not the Postcode Checker.

It will need mod approval before it shows.

 

Meanwhile, check you have a dial tone and check for noise on the line 17070 option 2.

Thanks pip11

 

Dial tone and noise checked. No noise and dial tone is there.

 

Here is the screen shot, hopefully...

 

 

 

The DLM system has put you on a banded profile in response to past errors on your line, at the top of the up to 20 Meg band of these VDSL Banded Profiles. You need to give the DLM time to relent & remove any banding. If your sync speed at the test socket remains stuck at the same speed for 10 days you should ask EE to investigate the underlying fault. If a fault is found and fixed then the OR engineer may request a DLM reset. However should significant errors persist the DLM will reapply banding.

Thanks everyone

 

Had EE engineer out yesterday and now the OR engineer is coming on Monday.  Hopefully he can fix the problem.

 

The speed reduction happened suddenly and I guess DLM could well have kicked in.  Fingers crossed it's a fault that's relatively easy to fix.
