Right, signed up to Plusnet the other day after moving into a new house as one of the better reviewed service providers out there, and now being limited to FTTC.
Was quoted c. 63 down
When the router first turned up, I was getting about 63 via Ethernet (basically not complaining), and 5-20 depending on where in the house I was over WiFi (shock as yet another ISP provides a bad router). Additionally however I was getting kicked off the internet, and the connection itself seemed really shaky. It wasn't so much the speed, but it wasn't connecting well.
Immediate thought was this was probably a router problem. So grab the old trust ASUS AC88U that I had in my previous flat, stick it in AP mode, turn the wireless signal off of the one hub (or whatever it's called), and now I'm getting 63mb pretty reliably over WiFi around the whole house.
Except, the connection is still really shaky. It feels like the time to physically resolve the address is super slow, and this is definitely much worse at peak times.
The previous owners of our house were in their 70s, and tbh, I'm not sure they ever had internet, although they do have an open reach socket and I did find an old BT home hub router in the pile of crap they left us (has, perhaps unfortunately, now been thrown out).
Anyone have any inspired ideas for this? Got a Vigor 130 on its way to take the plusnet box out of the equation entirely and resolve the slightly questionable WiFi system, but I'm not sure/not convinced if that's actually the issue.
