Superfast 900mb, only hitting 300mb!!!!

A little background, I am a computer networking enginer with multiple years of experince.

First got the fibre 900 in and was told it could take a while to hit speeds that were promised. Fair enough.
A week later and i was still getting less than the garunteed Minimum Speed (500mb). So i contacted Vodaphone and after me having to do multiple tests and send screen shots, they said they would look at it and get in touch.

They never did, i got in contact again and again I was told to run network tests (speed tests etc) which i had already done previously and had been keeping extensive logs of tests I would run multiple times a week. They again said someone would be in touch and again no one ever did reply.

Again i contacted, this time i asked if an enginer could come out and try and determine the fault. Instead they said they couldn't do that and they would instead send a new router to see if that was the issue.

 

The router was not the issue, the new one came and i again ran tests and again was barely making it over the 350mb mark (even though i was supposed to be on 900mb), AGAIN i contacted vodaphone and this time I was told that they have ran tests on their end and can connect to over 500mb (the minimum garuntee... funny that), and was practically called a liar by the agent i was talking too, they have now refused to send an enginerr out and have stated that its my devices where the issue lies. It really is not my devices, I have tested out the connection with no other devices attached and the wifi turned off on a device more than capable of gigbit connections and again the service speeds have come up short.

How can i get this issue taken seriously, I have now been with vodaphone around 2 months and have never hit the minimum garuntee of 500mbs.

If i could go back i would never have signed up.

Also just realised I can’t even put a complaint with the telecommunications ombudsman since vodaphone aren’t registered with them.


You can register a complaint with CISAS, but you would need to get a deadlock letter first. You would start the ball rolling on that by raising an official complaint.

@scurrie93  are your speeds 300 when plugged into an ethernet as you won't hit 900 with the Vodafone router over WiFi. Ethernet you will but not WiFi

My wifi speeds improved after turning their wifi boosters off, in case this helps anyone 

@Eyaz786 @scurrie93

That's normal then depending on where his router is placed 

That's correct full speed on ethernet and 300mb on wifi

@Gerry_Atric  I am having same issue - upgraded from 110 to 910 but getting hardly 200 over wifi. Boosters are turned off…

what was the misconfiguration? I would like to avoid Vodafone resetting my router.

can you or anyone else who had same issues can share anything that helped to resolve it please.

Test with a wired connection direct to the router. The Wifi will never reach 900Mb on that router. 

I shall check and get back but what you suggest? 

I suggest doing a speedtest over a wired connection. Right now it could be anything. 

I have not been able to do a wired test.

i turned off boosters and restarted the router/ont box etc which gives me a wifi speed of about 500 near the wifi however going upstairs the speed I get is 100mb white router is in the hallway ie almost centre point of the house.
