I hope one day you can get it sorted. We will still be here on the 21st dec, so don't worry.

You need to hit the button on the bottom of that page, and then report back all the text - particularly the ones that mention IP Profile

OK thanks. Thought I heard on PN forum that wholesale will discontinue a few of them and stick to the higher ones.

You can't win them all.

1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.

Download Speed
44 Mbps

0 Mbps 0 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed

Download speedachieved during the test was - 44 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 16 Mbps-0 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 45.33 Mbps

2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.

Upload Speed
8.32 Mbps

0 Mbps 20 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed

Upload speed achieved during the test was - 8.32Mbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 20 Mbps


We were unable to identify any performance problem with your service at this time.
It is possible that any problem you are currently, or had previously experienced may have been caused by traffic congestion on the Internet or by the server you were accessing responding slowly.
If you continue to encounter a problem with a specific server, please contact the administrator of that server in the first instance.

I want to check something. Now I always turn my router off to save power and for security. Never had a problem with my old LLU.

If I leave the modem on but turn the router off, is it correct it won't show up as a drop or mess my line speed/profile up? I was told you can turn the router off but best to leave the modem on.

That IP profile value shows your maximum downstream speed - 45.33 Mbps, including some of the overheads.

You will be synchronising at 46.8Mbps

With those speeds, you can expect to download content at a maximum of around 43-44 Mbps (ie Megabits), which means you got a very good result from the tester! That would be equivalent to around 5.3 MBps (Megabytes).

If you are really sync'ed at 20Mbps upstream, that's a pretty slow result. I wonder what your real sync speed is?

I would leave both on for a couple of days, as that's the Openreach settling in period on fibre. After that I think you are OK to turn off the router at night, unless BT Wholesale really do have something checking for the first 10 days - the idiots - as their system will recognise the router being off. But! That shouldn't matter - I'm just being overcautious for you.

And dammit man ! . Another americanism - it's "fibre" not "fiber". Grrrrr .... (Edit - just seen that you had already corrected it ).

The upstream profile on 80/20 is always 20, independent of sync.

I think my brain filled up on other stuff. I had to pop *something* off the stack

Thanks. I just realised I the speed test you gave is the same one as I used yesterday. I followed a link on another forum. The results seem to contradict what I got tonight. Something don't seem right.

I took a screen grab at the time
