Upload Speed

normantcroft — Wed, 05 Aug 2020 11:06:25 GMT

I am on BT Fibre, which is actually fibre to cabinet. The speeds I normally get are 15MB download and 0.4MB upload. When the speeds vary the upload can reduce significantly, which causes problems when I am speaking on Zoom calls. The upload speed BT state I could get is 1MB. I know this is not guaranteed. 0.4MB will work, but when this degrades it makes Zoom unusable.

Is there any solution? Or is the only solution to look at Virgin Media, as the house did have a fibre connection in the past?

Thanks

Norman

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

enter your phone number and post results remember to delete number https://www.broadbandchecker.btwholesale.com/#/ADSL

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