71 days 16 hours 4 minutes 15 seconds

Huawie modem
Netgear WNR 2000 router.

I had a sudden increase in speed of about 10Mbps (to 65Mbps) some time before this which vanished after a power cut (54Mbps). I managed to persuade Plusnet that there was a problem and the engineer came out and did some sort of reset, which dropped my connection to 45Mbps. He said this often happened and it would recover with time. It is now back to about 55Mbps, which is where I started.

I have a new Plusnet modem router, which I am reluctant to use as the Huawie has been patched/hacked, silly really as I rarely take advantage of the hack to see what is going on.

In truth the 54/16 that I do get is I think fast enough for everything I do, I just feel along with many that as I am paying for 80/20 that is what I should get. When I first switched to FTTC, it was because of very poor broadband speeds and I remember the first engineer saying his device was syncing at 79Mbps. I am pretty sure that I was either the first of second person on the cabinet to go live, as I was watching it like a hawk. The percentage of the 80Mbps that I do achieve is roughly the same or a bit better than the percentage of the achievable rate under ADSL.

No link between "The percentage of the 80Mbps that I do achieve is roughly the same or a bit better than the percentage of the achievable rate under ADSL"

Its a common myth, the reality is down to the distance to the VDSL2 cabinet for VDSL2 and to the exchange for ADSL/ASDL2+

The differences after a DLM reset will be down to things like G.INP being on/off and other variables that the DLM adjusts over time, plus over time the noise environment due to crosstalk will vary too.
