That may or may not be the case but the fact that MAAF customers can't see their profile on the MAAF website may have something to do with it.

They do not iomplement thier mirroring of the ip profile on the maaf system so each time my ip profile is updated on the bt system speed tests show instant rise or fall in throughput.

That is interesting as posts on the Plusnet forums implied the opposite http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,8514... as does this http://forums.thinkbroadband.com/plusnet/t/4155036-r...
Of course one possible explanation may be that your profile is stuck at a high value as no Delta reports are being received

It has luckily never affected madasafish customers

It has for my connection (20CN)

If you are on 20CN then the current debacle hasn't affected you - you are still on the "BT will drop the IP profile immediately but will think about it for 3 days before raising it system"

It's not BT's profiling that's causing the issue, it moves up OK after a sync increase but the throughput doesn't it still remains as though it was on the previous/lower BT IP profile.

So are you saying that PN doesn't have their own IP profiling for 20CN connections?

No I am not. The current problem with the Plusnet profile not updating is 21CN specific.
The 20CN is still working as it always has - Plusnet updating within 12 hours of the BT profile changing

Ok that's fine, I'll just have to keep a written note of changes in case I'm not giving BT's system the full 72 hours it needs after a higher sync rate + new higher IP profile to then increase the actual throughput.

That was replaced by 4 hours to 5 days in August 2008, see this page.
