Will it improve?

[timcooper111]

Morning all, hope you are safe and sounds at the moment.

We we're connceted to our fibre package on the 20th this month by Openreach. We were quoted as having a minimum 25 mbs connection, which would be spot on for what we use. I know that it has only been a week since our connection and that the line might not have settled yet, however we are currently, both on one wired and one wireless connection, only recieveing a 6.5 mbs download speed.

After doing multiple speed tests it says we have a steady 50mbs download speed yet no download that I have tested has gone above 6 mbs. Can I expect it to improve to our minimum in the next few days?

Below are our router spec and a download test.

Any help wouldbe appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Tim

Are you confusing MegaBYTES/S with MegaBITS/S

6.5 MegaBYTES/S = 52 MegaBITS/S which is quite close to the 51 MegaBITS/S that the BT Speed test is returning?

Check the site you are downloading from, and see what it says, as its probably saying MB/S, notice the capital "B" meaning Bytes.

The Data Rate from the hub stats says 1000Mbps / 1000Mbps, so is this FTTP? If so, is the minimum quote of "minimum 25 mbs connection" very low?

Or am I getting confused?

Believe I was getting confused between the two! Thank you for the explanation!

Have a nice day !

That would be the Ethernet connection speed between the modem and the home hub, and does not reflect the actual package that the customer has ordered.
