Was with 2degress in a previous residence on their 1Gb connection - speeds were fine and normal.

 

Moved house and my new fibre connection was finally installed on 15/12 (after months of waiting)

 

Testing over the last few days have seen download cap out at 100 Mbit/s but my upload range from 200-400 Mbit/s (via multiple sources)

 

The was the same over LAN or via 2.4 and 5 GHZ wireless (with upload fluctuating).

 

------------------------

 

I'm using the same hardware/software/cables from previous residence

 

  • Router : Fritzbox 7490
  • Cat 6 cable directly from router to laptop with 1 Gbps enabled ports (as used previously)

Router was factory reset during Chorus setup, on latest firmware and settings looks correct (power saving, login etc).

 

  • Manually changed the downstream/upstream to 1000 Mbit/s

ONT is Chorus Model Type 300 - all important lights are green.

 


Tested a direct connect from ONT to my laptop and it's showing a 1 Gbps connection in details (same as when connected to router).

 

Completed multiple power cycles of router and ONT with no change to speed.

 

Spoke to 2degress earlier and then confirmed I'm on the correct plan (900/400).

 

 

 

Any ideas? I'm thinking it's QOS limiting my connection but wanted to check here for any ideas before going through the fun with 2Degress support.

It’s entirely common that the speed boost doesn’t work until the job is closed and billed. That should be pretty quick but this time of year, I would call them and get the QoS profile updated manually - that will increase the speed immediately (may require the modem to resync).
Note, this only impacts download speed - the upload should be at your maximum.




Any comment made here is my own and should not be taken as that of my employer.

Seems to be a common issue with 2degrees. I was with them on the 100mbps plan and upgraded to gigabit. Was notified that the upgrade was complete. Like you, I was getting great upload but limited to 100mbps download.

A call to 2Degrees support, and the flick of a button their end, gigabit down almost immediately.
