Right, then you have a fault that needs to be reported. You are just confusing everything by reference to the checker and renewing contract which is totally irrelevant.
Well I have made 10 phone calls and am told the same thing, if whatever Openreach report as my max speed that is all they can offer me.
The estimates you are getting of 27mb is based on your current connection stats and as @licquorice posted you have a line fault
Do you have a home phone not on digital voice? If so check for dial tone as the reduction in speed can be caused by a wire disconnected in your phone socket
Forget trying to renew your contract, have you reported the fault?
I don't hear any noise on the line, an Openreach engineer came out yesterday said he found a fault at the exchange and fixed it.
He then done a line check and said I should be able to get 85mb.
But like I say I cant get a contract for any speeds over 30mb with any ISP unless I change my flat number to nextdoor.
Yes, BT don't even seem to recognise it as a fault, I am being told they can only go by the speeds reported by Openreach and they cant do anything.
If you don't have digital voice and you cannot hear the dial tone on your phone then you need to report a phone fault not a broadband fault. Get phone working and broadband speed will return to'normal'
There is nothing wrong with the dial tone, not even any noise or static.
Can you post a screenshot of the hub stats?
