Slow FTTP: Difference between revisions
|
If your FTTP service is slow, eg a speed test is not reporting expected speeds, then try these:
# Use our '''speed test''' and some other 3rd party ones to check up and download speeds: https://speedtest.aa.net.uk https://www.fast.com- try tests at different times of the day as this can help track 'peak time congestion' - note - many http speed testers are not very good for testing 1G connections -
# Try a '''wired connection''' from your computer instead of WiFi to rule out any WiFi problems.
# '''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.
