900mb FTTP capped at 50mb upload

[ShavedApe]

So as the subject says I recently moved to the 900 service and the first few days it was 110 pretty much every time I checked. I was having issues with the hybrid connect so I did a factory reset of the hub and it dropped to 50. I was then sent a new hub and that's also stuck at 50 up

I tried calling BT but got the "we don't guarantee upload speeds" I appreciate that but when you say it will be 110 in an email that says how fast will it be and then simply by resetting a router it looses 60mb something is clearly wrong somewhere.  

The level of customer service at BT amazes me, keep you on hold for 30 plus minutes then shut you down with statements like we don't guarantee upload speeds despite a quick read of this forum making it clear its not about the guarantee the smart hub is clearly not performing as it should.

I was even asked where my router was placed! how is that relevant to a problem with the upload speed oh and can I send you a speed test link so I can get an idea of the speeds on the device your using....  Its not a wifi issue and the speed my phone gets isnt the issue either.  

is the current firmware v0.27.07.07281-BT ? Or should I wait to see if the hub updates?

I did use the search but as you said there is a very large thread. So large getting an answer might take a long time. Thanks for you input though.

The issue is now fixed I contacted BT again and got a different advisor who was able to help which makes it yet more clear how poor the customer service at BT can be.

Hi @ShavedApe,

Thank you for posting back to update the thread. I'm glad you were able to get this sorted.

I'm just sorry you had to contact BT more than once to get this fixed.

Thanks,

Paddy

Who did you call to get it addressed? Do you have a number 

Thanks

[ShavedApe]

I just called the normal customer service number but its definitely luck of the draw when it comes to how helpful they might be.

hi, would it really not be helpful if you actually stated what the solution was? when talking to them?

You are responding to an 18 month old thread.

A brief search of the forum would reveal that the necessary update to the hub to increase upload speed doesn't always happen automatically as it should and requires manual intervention.

Hello, sorry but alot of online search can be misleading and confusing, i did explain this to BT today, any idea who we actually speak to? Is it a firmware update?
