Hi all, my go live with Fibre 1 was today I was looking forward to it but all that has now changed, the speedsI I was expecting and promised have not been supplied I have 0.4 upload and less than thirty download. I did phone in and there was an immediate increase but short lived the smart hub 2 started to drop out every few minutes untill the upload speed was reduced to where it is now. Can anything be done about this situation Please.

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

Since making this post I spoke to a lady on the help line who straight away got Openreach involved they came this morning and all is now well, there was a fault on the line but his equipment would not show where it was just high resistance, he had a good look around but in the end put me on a new pair this solved all the problems and I now have a quite land line and my broadband speeds are up where they should be. Over the moon with the service I have received I had these problems for months with my last ISP.
