Looks like Plusnet moved me up to 80/20 this morning as promised. The speedtests as yet haven't changed - still showing 35Mbps. But, IP Profile from the BTW Performance Test Further Diagnostics shows a change, having moved from 38.72Mbps to 43.87Mbps.

I think, if I have calculated this correctly, a downstream sync speed of approx 4532 ??
So, it looks like I could gain about 5 Mb. If that's the case - it's moving in the right direction. Considering that before moving to fibre I was getting 3.5Mb on a good day.

Sync approximately 45324kbps. The upstream of the speed test 10-11Mbps?

If the Plusnet Current Line Speed doesn't rise by the middle of the evening, when convenient turn the router off for ten minutes. Leave the modem on - don't touch it at this stage.

If that doesn't work give them a buzz and tell them your IP Profile and you think your Current Line Speed needs kicking to 43.8Mbps. (Just below the IP Profile).

I had to turn off the router to shift the line speed.

There appears to be no positive affect on the upload, though.

Many Thanks

How long for?

I know! Being on the far end of the exchange there could be some interest in FTTC localy. But, I get the impression that not many people are aware of the availability of FTTC in the area. I, on he other hand, have been plotting it's progress on a map since October . Still, even getting the 35Mb was a big jump up from the 3.5Mb I am used to, so no complaints.

LOL.

I meant how long did you need t turn the router off. (Just stopping the PPP would do but not everyone knows how to do that, and I think not all routers let you).

Ahhh! I see.
I thought you were referring to the potential cross-talk


I Just switched it off for about 10 - 15 mins - or so . So,will doing that on its own be enough to keep the speed?

No, it's just a way of kicking the Plusnet Current line speed if the auto-update by a new IP Profile fails. It may work, it may not, but if it does it's easier than getting on to support to sort it out .

Speed's back down to 35Mb

The upload speed has gone up, though - to 9Mb.

The modem must have disconnected because I have had 3 different IP address in the last 24 hours.

That looks like a 40Mbps connection again , but with the 20Mbps upload.
