well remember if your estimate is low plusnet still provision 40/10 on the higher speed packages.

Has that been confirmed or tested since the new products came out? I did raise that question earlier.

well yeah its possible plusnet may have changed their policy to always provisiion at 80/20 regardless of estimate.

if bald eagle changes over, he will test that question

They are STILL CHARGED for migrations except it is £11 not £50 (plus VAT)

Still waiting to see a speedtest that shows upstream is uncapped but down is not.

Don't take BT wholesale ones

My current line speed in the PlusNet member centre is showing as 40Mb

So that does (more or less) confirm an 80/20 service then, choked by Plusnet to 40 or 38 Mbps DS throughput.

Unless they do still apply the 'less than 40 Mbps achievable then use a 40/10 service' rule.


Connections unable to achieve 40 Mbps DS sync speed are highly unlikely to achieve anywhere near 10 Mbps US, never mind 20 Mbps.

The BT speed test shows an upload profile of 20Mb.

That proves it.

?
But that isn't the question.

The question is how is the Plusnet 40/20 product supplied, and the answer as shown by the upstream and downstream IP Profiles is that it is an 80/20 with the downstream capped by Plusnet, which has set a Current line speed of 40Mbps.

We don't need to see the upstream attain above 10Mbps to establish that, and it is unlikely Plusnet are lying in their statement they provide "up to 20Mbps" upstream. Though as an advertising claim that is probably outside the rules if they are the same as are applicable to downstream.

It would be nice to someone's line stats showing a sync speed of above 40M downstream and 10M upstream, however. Unfortunately, the OR modem is locked so these stats are unavailable.
