▲# '''Ensure the router is capable of the speed''' of the circuit - eg, maybe you have a 1G service but an older router? - let us know the model you are using
# '''Different computer/devices''' <br> Always worth trying different computers just in case one has a problem.
▲# 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.
# '''Check/swap the cable''' <br> 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.▼
