VERY bad upload speed - can't use internet properl...

Hi
I am having the exact trouble talked about here:
https://community.bt.com/t5/ADSL-Copper-Broadband-Speed/Slow-upload-speed-but-download-fine/td-p/419...
my download speed is between 3-5mbps my UPLOAD is 0.2mbs and this is causing me to get timeouts on pages around the web and in general internet use.
This has been ongoing for a few weeks and i need to try and get this resolved.
Please can someone from BT help.
Thanks
Dave

welcome to the BT community forum where customers help customers and only BT employees are the forum mods
in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router you may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or if HH4/5 then go to troubleshooting then logs and you are looking for 2 line together when hub last connected to internet and they will show your connection speed and noise margin or if netgear enter 192.168.0.1). Then run  btspeedtester  (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results ( do not reset the router).
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

  • Very slow upload speeds and packet loss

    I have the exact same issue as the following threads.

    https://community.bt.com/t5/BT-Infinity-Speed-Connection/extremely-low-upload-speeds-and-high-latenc...
    My download speed is around 36M and my upload speed on speed tests either fails to connect or I get around 0.5M. Pinging google leads to frequent none responses, probably on average 1 in ever 8 pings fails.
    I have rebooted the router, reset the router to factory settings and disconnected all devices apart from 1 clean CentOS desktop pc to do the speed test and still get the same results. Could someone please give me details so I can get this investigated properly and soon as it is effecting my work.

    Still experiencing unusable upload speeds, can someone please help me with this? Below is todays test.

  • Very slow upload speed via infinity 2 (business) u...

    Very slow upload speed via infinity 2 (business) unlimited after phone line fix (street cabinet) ?
    Had my line fixed today by engineer (no dial tone).
    Download rate near normal but upload = 0.73Mbps!?
    I reset modem and router after he left and appreciate my profile is probably in need of some TLC after a weeks line fault, but is this normal in this situation? I heard it can take some time to reprofile my line and before it was fixed it was even worse at 0.10Mbps
    Just seems very low considered the line is now operational again.

    48Hrs+ on from residential line reconnection my business infinity 2 broadband upload speed is now approaching normal speed levels.
    What a 10 days that was all because some ass disturbed the cabling in the street cabinet!
    Yes I'm aware I have business broadband and am talking about it in a residential based forum, but my actual phone line is still residential that it is supplied over and the business broadband product is much the same animal as that supplied to residential customers i.e. Infinity 2 Unlimited. Only the mail and option of static i.p. appear different - that is all.
    Jeez.

    You might be able to use your iPhone sim. FaceTime calls are only possible over wifi or you can get something like the Skype For iPad app from the store if you want to make video calls over 3G - but you can't do 'normal' phone calls with the iPad.

    When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS.  Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

  • I have a US iPhone 3GS made in 2011. Now in the Philippines I had it unlocked. Now Internet is turned off and no technician can turn it on. I can only use Internet when I have WiFi access. Any ideas?

    Please define "I had it unlocked".
    If it was not unlocked by AT&T, then it was hacked. Hacked and jailbroken phones can not be discussed here per the TOS.

  • Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through  my iPhone 3GS?

    Can I use internet tethering to link my iPad 3WIFI to the internet through  my iPhone 3GS?  My provider O2 assures me I can with the tariff I have for my iPhone.   If so, how do I do it???
    Thanks!

    Nope.  Tethering isn't an option until iPhone 4.  My wife has the 3GS and not an option.  Sorry. you need to update your phone, but wait a few months for the iPhone 5 or discounted iPhone 4S.

  • Can't use internet when I'm not connected to Wi-Fi

    I can't use 4g even when my phone tell me that I'm connected. So I can't use internet when I'm not at home. I never had that problem with my Lumia 925 just with my 930 and it's frustrating that I can't find any information on why.

    What did your carrier say about this?
    Where are you and your carrier is who?
    Did you make any changes to the accesspoint settings?
    Has it ever worked?
    If it ever worked, what changed?
    Are you on you own network or happen to be roaming?
    Have you tried a new SIM?
    In short..
    provide more details and information

    Then Restore your iPhone Firmware with iTunes on computer. See if better. If not, talk to Verizon and see if they know of the problem and if there is a fix. If not, then make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution under Warranty.

  • Very low Upload Speed. How can I increase this?

    Hi there, new to the forums with my post.
    I'm a frequent online gamer and have the Bt unlimited package as a result. However over the past month I've been experiencing high latency spikes or just high latency in general upward of 1000ms. Naturally this makes any form of gaming impossible. During this past month I've conducted many speed tests and only recently discovered that my upload speeds are ridiculously low, ranging from 0.02mbps to a maximum of 0.06mbps. I believe this is what is causing my lag issues.
    My question is. What can I do to resolve this and raise my upload speed to an acceptable standard?

  • Very Low Upload Speed

    I wonder if anyone can help, as the BT helpdesk have refused to acknowledge that I have a problem. My BT Infinity Download speed os very good, around 30 mbits/sec. My Upload speed is very very poor, if fluctuates between 0.3 and 0.5 mbits/sec. If I use wireshark to capture the packets used when the BT Wholesale test is running I can see that I have a high packet loss rate for outgoing packets. So something is wrong. I remotely control the PC in my office from my home PC and the performance of this is definitely a lot poorer than it was recently. Kids have also complained about Itunes and stuff. Loss of packets on the outgoing link will damage download performance as the TCP ACKs are not getting back to teh data sender. Any advice on howe I can get BT to accept I have some kind of fault and do something about it? Their recommendation was that I get Business Broadband!!!! 

    Hi coullyhomeip
    I am sorry you are having trouble with your broadband.  We can not guarantee upload but I will be happy to have a look at this for you and see what we can do.

  • Very Slow Upload Speeds on Infinity

    I've been using Infinity for a couple of years now, in the last 2-3 months the upload speed has dropped from a consistant 4 - 6 mbps to an average of 0.3 - 0.5 mbps. The download has also dropped but not so much, we used to get a good 30mbs most of the time and now it's averaging 20 - 25mbps.  I've phoned to see if there's a fault to be told it's an acceptable speed for Infinity and BT cannot and won't ever guarantee a 6 - 8mbs upload speed.  Even though the engineer that installed it a couple of years ago wouldn't leave until he got the 6mbps upload speed and a 35mbs download speed. 

    Can you run this checker and post back a screen shot of the results
    http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/adsl/adslchecker.welcome
    and use this speed tester then carry out the further diagnostics and post back a screen shot of all the results including your IP profile for up and down. This test must be done with a wired connection.

  • Very low upload speed or long response times

    Hi,
    Just connected my Airport Extreme. Unfortunately, the upload speed appears to be extremely slow. Checking my connection using Speedtest.net reveals that it takes very long for my workstation to connect to the Speedtest server via my APExt, before it starts uploading the testpackage. I've also tested the performance of my ADSL connection by directly plugging a workstation into the DSL modem and retesting the connection via Speedtest.net. This shows a normal response between the client and the server.
    How do I further diagnose this problem? I didn't have this problem before a replaced my Sitecom wireless router with the Airport Extreme.
    Thanks,
    J

    And all that took was a firmware upgrade to version 7.6
