Thanks.

It's already been left on for a few nights. I could switch it off later and call PN tomorrow, to see if it caused any problems.

In reply to a post by superspeed:

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

Yes - your downstream sync speed has reduced since this test was performed. Here the sync speed is approximately 51Mbps.

That *might* be expected behaviour, due to DLM intervention and the addition of interleaving + error correction.

Can you tell us, with a fair amount of precision, what date & time your new 80/20 package was activated (by BT, not Plusnet), and what date/time both the first and most recent speedtests were done?

I'd recommend that you keep an eye on the downstream profile value, and see if it changes any more. If it does, and changes often, it could be a sign of problems with your line.

Well don't forget I was on 40/2 but PN told me that I was regraded about 4am Monday morning to 80/20.

The time I took that snap shot was 11:24am on 17 dec. That would of been within seconds of the test being done. It was hours after the regrade. Connected on 14th but not sure on the time. That was on 40/02 though.

Thats all I know.

Just done a quick speed test on TB.

Date 19/12/12 00:55:35
Speed Down 40652.89 Kbps ( 39.7 Mbps )
Speed Up 9151.69 Kbps ( 8.9 Mbps )

DLM would normally act after 48 hours, but can be earlier.

For now, just keep an eye on the Profile values from the BT Speedtester. It doesn't have to be too regular, but just watch to see if it changes much.

Well roberto I switched off my router last night and called PN this morning.

The PN TS confirmed it did not affect my speed or profile. He could see I switched it off. The modem was left on. I am also still in the 10 day training period.

I will be swaping over a modem and some routers soon though. I bought the buffalo and another router cheap off ebay. Saved myself £10 with the buffalo.




Yes it's a habit using american words as we were brought up with it, but is correct now. Lol

Thanks. PN told me that DLM stays on the line all the time, which is stupid but that's not PN fault.

PN could only see my last BT speed test not the one I did on the 17th. So I am going to take screen grabs now of all my speed tests from BT, if I don't forget. LOL

Lucky me, Plusnet fault team had disabled DLM for me and fixed SNRM. Yep it was stupid DLM put me SNR too high at 18dB with stable line. Every few days it kept pushed the SNR from 3dB to 18dB and lowest sync speed. The fault team had a word with BT via echat and BT agreed to disabled DLM and fixed SNRM of 3dB at the local exchange and it staying there for a month now

WWWombat as your good at this, can you tell me what you make of my line stats?

Just got this up and running. The error rates are going up though.

Errors are minimal!

When I said the errors are going up, they are going up as I type this.

as of 17:51 now

CRC errors 0 0 0 0
FEC errors 28 3 0 0
HEC errors 80 0
