That's what it should be for that IP Profile, so that isn't the issue. A pity in a way, as that's easy to fix.

I don't know, as we don't have the IP Profile from BT days. Unless you have it posted somewhere?

In normal circumstances you cannot get a speed test result greater than the IP Profile, and in Plusnet's case the Current line speed. The difference between the two being negligible. I'd expect a couple of Mbps below that, so maybe you are a little low, but to get 74.5Mbps on Infinity I would have thought you would have a higher IP Profile.

The IP Profile is of course determined by the connection speed, which the ISP has no direct control over. It's Openreach DLM that decides that.

AIUI BT Retail don't have MSILs. I could be wrong, but I have a feeling that step is missing. As it is with white label BTW ISPs.

I haven't seen it mentioned so thought I would ask,

What Modem are you using for your plusnet connection?

HG612 or ECI or Other?

MLM

Cabinet 54 @ 320m (CMKING) Under Evaluation (Awaiting FTTC)
