Check the conf settings on the Hub. It will show what speed has been provisioned.
It's Configuration tab - Primary Downstream Service Flow - Max Traffic Rate.

Hi Dinger, 

Thank you for your post. I'm very sorry to hear about the unexpected change in speed. 

When you upgraded your package you should have been sent a contract that details the package. 

What did that advise your broadband speed would be?

^Martin

Volt M500, was on 600 before renewing 

Sorry to hear this, what does your paperwork suggest you should be on? 

With the 600MBS, its only upgrades to 500MBS to 1GB we don't sell 600MBS this was most likely a free speed upgrade.

Do let us know.
