Slower than BT Connection

Hi

Migrated from BT Unlimited Fibre to Plusnet business unlimited fibre.
No issues and everything is working well.

Just curious why when it's the same line and same hardware ( modem and router ) are my speeds around 4 - 5Mb slower.

Speed tests on BT were always 74.5/18
On PlusNet 68/17

The one I've just done now is :
65.73 Mbps 65.05 Mbps 18.11 Mbps

Any way I can get this back ?
Thanks

Firstly, check your IP profile - BTwholesale speed tester. Follow the Further Diagnostics option.

Secondly, check your Plusnet Current Line Speed. It should match the IP profile to within 0.1

Thanks for the reply

The BT speed tester always fails when I click for further diagnostics.
Its been doing that for the last few months.

I'll try again in the morning and see what happens

Thanks

U will get less speed with PN rather than with BT. If u getting 74/18 with BT then u more likely to get less with PN.

But my speed is fine with PN getting 74/19 http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/3503296231 the upload is slower because I watching streaming uploading

Was your phone number originally issued by Sky or TalkTalk? I'm wondering if numbers that started off as LLU, as opposed to ones that went LLU from WLR and returned to it, don't get recognised by the Further Diagnostics.

My line has always been BT
I'll do the check in a few minutes and see what happens.

The test actually worked this morning.. Here are the results :

On BT I was getting a similar speed to you.. how do I do that now with PlusNet ?
As I've said it's not a problem, but it would be nice to get the most I can, which on BT was faster.

Have you checked your Plusnet Current Line Speed, as suggested by Jaggies?
