Upgraded from 500 to gig1 last week and my download speeds were 450-520 on 500 now on gig1 hub 4 Ethernet download speed is 50meg and Wi-Fi speed is max 450 down to 200 any advice cheers

Wired tests or wireless?  VM do not guarantee wifi speeds.  What does www.samknows.com/realspeed show ?

However, please post your power levels and network log from the Hub.

Setup a BQM to monitor your circuit,  www.thinkbroadband.com/ping

Once done we can comment.  Thanks

So guys I went from 500 to 1gig fibre on Wednesday and speeds have dropped I’m getting roughly 117mbps wired and 400-470mbps wireless virgin techs are baffled I’m constantly having to reset router for them upload speed seems fine roughly 52mbps any other suggestions tried different ports on router tried different Ethernet cables I’m sure it’s not my end

Hello Lordlinley

Thanks for your post 

I have checked a few things from here and can see we have a Technicians visit booked in 

Can you please let us know how this goes

Hi @Lordlinley,

I'm really sorry to hear that things haven't really improved for you following a technician visit and replacement router being provided.

Can you run a Speed Test and confirm what results you're currently getting on a wired connection?

Thanks,

Engineer came out yesterday swapped hub 4 for hub 5 and said there was a fault on the line now download speed of 850 on Wi-Fi upload of 50 so I’m happy with that 👍👍

If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to post again in the community forums. 

All the best,

Hi I have upgraded to gig1 from 300 and I’m getting speeds from 100-300mbs wired and it’s pretty ridiculous this needs sorting out and is definitely not the speeds virgin promised.
