Yes, but I think it's the traffic shaping speed limit rather than the IP Profile

So the modem can sync at speeds in excess of 40Mbps on the downstream but this "traffic shaping speed limit" thing caps the downstream throughput to less than 40Mbps?

I believe that has already been proved on this thread, but it's getting so long I can't remember where.

Yes

The BT profile tries to track the sync. We apply the PN profile to either match that profile (just under) or 40Mbps, which ever is lower (On the 40/20 product). That profile is applied on our ERX/BNG LNS

(actually, the pn profile might be slightly above 40Mb.. I need Dave to confirm but he's away today)

I can understand the BT profile tracking the sync but what's this "(the PN?) profile is applied on our ERX/BNG LNS" elaborated in layman's terms please?

The Juniper ERX is a L2TP Network Server / Broadband Network Gateway. This is where they set the speed limit - the Plusnet Profile.

Thanks Kelly

There only seems to be one question remaining really. Which OR product is provisioned if the downstream estimate is below 40Mbps?

Certainly not long ago, on the 80/20 in such a case, 40/10 but with unlimited usage was provided and users needed to ask to be switched to 80/20 if they believed they would get over 40mbps. The ones I have seen they were always right.

With the new products there seems little need for that as both are unlimited. However it is possible that 40/10 may still be applied on both, on cost saving grounds. It would be great if you could confirm this will (or at least should) not happen.

Explains it a bit more. This is point 3 in the list.
