The actual wording - if I remember correctly - is may affect download speeds.

You're right !! (couldn't find an "embarrassed" emoticon that works here).

Apologies to Plusnet and WelshWarrier.

Plusnet's reply:

I can confirm that you are still in the 10 day training period, your upgrade to the ADLS2+ service completed on the 25th January.

We can uncap your upload speed, but I will have to make you aware that this can impact your download speeds. I would advise to wait for the end of the 10 day training period before making the decision to go forward with uncapping the upload speed as it will impact the main download speed.

Suppose I'd best wait til after the 10-day training period then??

Probably wise to do so.

But it would be useful if Plusnet could explain why it is necessary, in these circumstances, to endure a "10-day training period".

What's going on? Even though I havent replied to their message, they've placed the uncap order anyway:

Dear Mr James,
Thank you for your patience regarding this matter. I can confirm I have now placed an order to uncap your upload speed on the line, this may have a slight effect on your download speed as we move allocation on your line for the two.

Due for completion: 30/01/2012

Looks like a case of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing.

Be interesting to see what happens on the 30th.

Apologies, that was my bad - I placed the order intending to respond but then an issue popped up requiring a service status post which distracted me.

It should complete tomorrow though, I'll look at why the 30th was stated and feed back.

So does that mean this uncapping won't affect my 10-day training period then Matt? Jade seemed to think it would in the ticket reply and advised not to do it during this time!

It shouldn't do, no - though as DLM is an ongoing process anyway it shouldn't matter whether it is affected or not. It might make a difference to the line profile (hopefully a positive one) but it shouldn't make any difference to the training period itself.

got a pretty decent increase from my previous 6Mbps.

In reply to a post by WelshWArrior:

Seem to be constantly sync'd at 15,026ish now so should be fine.

In reply to a post by WelshWArrior:

My current attenuation is 29.5 (actually down slightly from ADSL at 31) so should this be ok?

Interesting. I get 6.5 Meg, with 30.0dB attenuation, so can I expect 12 Meg at least? Lovely!

Not necessarily so, Cam. The best I've been able to achieve is 11.7 Meg with a line attentuation of 22.0dB.
