Re: FTTC speeds on full sync


[re: deleted] [link to this post]
 
In reply to a post by WWWombat:
While the profile is named "37Mb", I don't think it is limited to that, or wrongly limits things to "35Mbps". Indeed there is an old setting of "20Mb" on the same page that really means "unlimited" (I guess it was, in ADSL2+ days) - this setting was used on the original FTTC trial (and FTTP trial) before a better-named profile could be set up on the management system.

Well, that's interesting, see my latest post on the Plusnet forum. Adam has changed my Plusnet line speed to 20Mb (there may have been other changes made behind the scenes) and I'm now getting 37.5Mbps on speedtest.net.

Unlike you, my PN line speed has dropped from 37Mb a couple of times and on both occasions it did affect my speeds.

OK, I don't know what's going on now. I've dropped to 17M on speedtest.net and mybroadbandspeed.co.uk (fully repeatable) but still 35+ on TBB! Maybe Adam's still playing,

Here's the snapshot of my Speedtest.net results: Rather square-wave!

The graph starts just before the switch to the 17a profile.

Still getting 37.5 this morning consistently on speedtest.net, same after rebooting router, so looking very promising.

That's good, but we'll have to see if it holds. I assume it is still 37 in the Member Centre.
