Superfast Fibre 2 Unlimited

Maurice_Moss — Fri, 29 May 2020 21:19:05 GMT

Can someone help or advise me,

I purchased BT Superfast Fibre 2 Unlimited in Feb 2019 for 18 Months and the order confirmation says "We estimate your download speed will be between 60Mbps and 80Mbps, and your upload speed will be between 19Mbps and 20Mbps" and "The minimum guaranteed speed you can expect from your broadband will be 55Mbps." So I used to get around 63mb-66mb but recently I have noticed that my Downstream Sync speed is only 53.54 Mbps on the BT Smart Hub and now my Stay Fast Guarantee is only 47Mb if I sign a new contract What happened to the guaranteed speed BT used to offer?

I've ran the fault tester and nothing is found and if I want an engineer to come out it will be £85 if its my fault. Is there anything else I can do ?

Cheers

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods

in order for the forum members to help please can you post the stats from your router (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser) and if HH5 then go to troubleshooting then helpdesk and if HH6/SH2 then advanced settings then technical log information .

Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal

Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Forget what it says if you sign a new contract. You haven't so it cannot apply. The contract you have is what matters and your speed is below the guarantee.

Report that you are not getting your contracted guaranteed speed.

I haven't signed a new contract but by online billing is showing the new name for my product and not the original Superfast Fibre 2 Unlimited.

The online chat seems to be off-line, is ringing 0800 800 150 the only option?
