Anyone else been through this scenario?

My line typically synchronises at ~79Mbps but on occasions (like now) it will drop to ~65Mbps. No amount of rebooting helps when this does happen. I just tend to leave it be and sooner or later find it's settled back to ~79Mbps.

The line's stable so I don't tend to let it bother me.

Regards,

Thanks, but just to clarify. When the profile (speed) increases I presume the modem has re-synched (eg dropped the connection) ? My connection is rock solid and the modem has not dropped any connection so how can the profile change?

The resync usually takes about 10 secs and more often than not occurs between midnight and 5am. If you are running a TBB ping monitor resyncs are quite visible as in this when my line resynced the other day.

simon194 - Please can you clarify!

Did the re-synch result in an increase in your IP profile????

That's what I'm looking for.

Thanks

Yes, it's a resync that triggers the profile change. With fibre the BT IP Profile is set at ~97% of the sync rate when the resync happens. It can take a day or two for our systems to follow suit and set the Plusnet profile correctly.

Except that it doesn't always. I often find that the profile is unchanged (too high or too low) following a re-sync because it all happens too quickly for the PPP session to be dropped.

Many thanks - at last I've got some clear answers!

So would you like to tell us your conclusion. Because some of the answers are clear, but only part of the story . You may not have got it right yet .

As in before you can eat a fried egg, a hen (of whatever species) has to lay it.

But that doesn't explain about needing to fry it. Or take it out of the frying pan. Or remove its shell before frying. And no doubt a few more things.

My conclusion is wait!

I'll keep an eye on the 582n Event log for re connections and also do a reular BT Wholesale speedtest looking out for an increased IP Profile and then visit Plusnet's page to check if their profile has also (hopefully) increased.

Anything to add?

Sounds a good plan. Be prepared to see the BT IP Profile change (in either direction) though without anything showing up in the 582n log .
