My parents going to order FTTC 40/20 as they don't want the fastest one as their line does support 77Mbps. So, once they had FTTC activated as I will find out if their FTTC is on the 80/20 product by BT Openreach and see if Plusnet does capped their line at 40Mbps.

I would hazard a wild guess that Plusnet have some idea what they are ordering. I have seen screenshots of BT Wholesale speedtests with the 20Mb IP Profile on the upstream anyway.

We already know it from a post by someone on 40/20. We've seen the sync speed, IP Profile in both directions, and the 40Mbps Current line speed. Quite apart from Plusnet having said it's done by capping the 80/20 download speed.

They wouldn't be so stupid as to put it on their website as upstream "up to 19.5Mbps" if they were capping that.

All we don't know is what OR product any new 80/20 or 40/20 customer is put on if the BT estimate is below 40Mbps.

Why the original question in the Subject is still being talked about is bewildering.

That number isn't there for fun.

Who said it was for fun? I was merely pointing out that a link to a nine-year-old post explaining the intricacies of traffic prioritisation on long-defunct products wasn't terribly helpful when there was a much simpler explanation, which has now been spelled out several times.

Only wanting the url to one of our results to see if there is any oddities that arise

Have lots of tests that fit the profile, but do not know which product the end user is on.

Sorry Kevin, misread your post. My bad.

Using their Ellacoya traffic shaping http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php?topic=20869.0

Procera these days, chap.

Thanks for the update. I guess the Ellacoyas have been passed to BT.

... who haven't realised they need to remove the Plusnet settings and put in their own .

It's just a question of branding.

So am I right in thinking that PN can upgrade an end user's account from 40/20 to 80/20 by "simply" changing the downstream IP Profile and downstream throughput would increase accordingly (assuming that their line is capable of throughput speeds in excess of 40Mbps)?

If that is the case I guess the reverse would also be true, leaving aside issues with contracts on particular products etc. ?
