→Things to test and try

# Try a '''laptop/PC plugged directly in to the ONT''' instead of using your router - set up a new network connection of type PPPoE and use your xxx@a login and password to connect, and run a speed test. see: [[PPPoE_on_a_Computer]] for more help on this.
# Try a different computer/device
# '''Check/swap the cable''' between the ONT (The Openreach/CityFibre unit that the fibre connects to) and your router - ensure it's a '''8-wire''' CAT5 or CAT6 cable - not one with 4 wires as these will run at 100M and not 1G.▼
===Actual tests to run:===

# Check the '''CQM Graphs''', via the Control Pages, to see if it is slow due to lots of traffic.
# Ask us about testing with ''''iperf'''' - as this is generally better than http speed test websites. See: https://support.aa.net.uk/Windows_iperf3
