Speed downgraded instead of upgraded after 15 months of solid speed

    When e fibre was first installed the profile was 40/10, 2 days later it was upgraded to 50/15. This was July 2015 and it has worked fine ever since. Speedtests are usually 47/14.

    My f2000 is in bridge mode so I don't have access to the F2000 stats page unless I run a long wire. I Did this the other day as the net seemed a bit slow. The stats page said:

    Upstream line rate (kbit/s):
    15360
    Downstream line rate (kbit/s):
    50176
    Maximum upstream rate (kbit/s):
    24176
    Maximum downstream rate (kbit/s):
    67005

    So I rang up last Thursday and was told my line could be upgraded to 60/20 within 48 hours. 

    Still on 50/15 today so after 10 mins on hold I started a webchat with "tech support" :rolleyes:

    long story short after about 90 mins chatting with 3 different agents I was downgraded to 40/10 then 30/8 then I had to ring to get back to even get put back up to 40 no matter how much I protested. This is ridiculous. until 3 earlier today I had been on a 50/15 profile and it has been fine for 15 months. Why the downgrade instead of upgrade?

    Can somebody look into this please?

    Hi  dk4545,


    Thanks for getting in touch.

    I'm afraid I would be unable to amend a speed profile from here and I would reccomend contacting the technical team directly. You can contact them directly on 1890260260 or freephone 1901 option 2.

    Hi Pamela an news on this? You're PM's said you would get the technical team to look into it. I know it can take up to 48 hours for a profile change that's not the issue. The issue is I was downgraded (instantly) and they refuse to upgrade to 60/20 as promised or even revert back to my old profile of 50/15 suggesting they were waiting on more test info.

    I am still on 40/10 at the moment. I don't see the issue as the f2000 shows the stats are identical on 40/20 as 50/15?

    It's been well over 48 hours since this was downgraded. Almost 2 weeks and nobody has a proper answer for me? Ridiculous

    Hi Pamela, I saw your pm this morning. Is this a new request or related to Reference 2367757 because that was requested on Thursday 6th October and totally screwed up by the webchat tech support.
