New EE Customer paying for 76Mbs.... Not even close.

[BigIFFY]

Have EE/OpenReach forgot to flick a switch .?? 

Will it speed up after 7 days "Settling Period" .??

Hi @BigIFFY

Welcome to the EE Community,

It's up to 76 Mbps it depends on the quality of your line and the distance from your local cabinet to your house.

[BigIFFY]

Thank you for the welcome. 

According to the engineer, should be getting 60+ Mbps no problem. 

In the Modem Log it says Max data rate = 41.96Mbps

Welcome to EE's Home Broadband Forum.

What upgrade have you done? If it was to Fibre Plus and OR had forgotten to flick a switch you'd still be syncing at the cap  40 Meg  

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.

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

2. Try a wired speedtest, using an Ethernet cable supplied with the router, here http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html . Click on the "Results Page" button at the bottom of the graph you first see and then copy to here just the "Link to this result:" link that you see below the next main graph.

3. What exchange are you connected to? If you don't know use: http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search and post the URL of your exchange page.

4. What does BT 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, use the Address Checker, not the Postcode Checker.

Your sync speed is below the Handback Threshold.

Reboot the router & try plugging it into the hidden test socket that is revealed when you remove the bottom half of the split faceplate (2 screws or press tabs) of your master socket. Only do this if you have a split faceplate. Do you have any extension sockets in the home even if unused? Are there any wires connected to back of faceplate of master socket?

Try the BT Quiet Line Test (dial 17070 Opt 2), preferably with a corded phone, in the test socket with the router disconnected. If there is any noise, report it to your landline provider as a voice fault (don't mention Broadband). Often sorting out voice faults will fix the Broadband as well.

Post the full router stats  when plugged into test socket.

Is the issue any better?

Had a BT engineer out. Line was faulty. 

Thanks for your help XRaySpeX
