IP Profile is wrong

Hi

My router/hub has been connected for over 2 days at 1024Kbps but the speed test says my IP Profile is only 500Kbps.

I've just done the BT speed test and here are the results:

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
IP profile for your line is - 500 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 1024 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 408 kbps


I've been connected for over 2 days at 1024Kbps now.

How long does it take before my IP profile is updated to 1024k?

Thanks

IP profile is right

See http://www.thinkbroadband.com/news/2622-another-max-product-update.html

nb It usually takes 3 days for a profile to come up.

You need to resync above 1152Kbps to get a higher profile. Try rebooting first thing in the morning when there is less traffic.

Thanks for the quick response Colin

Are you saying that if I can get a sync speed of over 1151Kbps for 3 days then my Ip profile will double to 1000KBps +?

When I first got BT (A week ago) I tried my Linksys router and was getting 1600Kbps.

Thanks

Above 1152Kbps for 3 days.

See my edit above

Nice one. My link is due to be up for 3 days in about 6 hours so I'll see if it changes.

If it doesn't then I'll try to sync over 1152Kbps tomorrow and leave it for 3 days.

I get a higher sync speed with a Linksys router than the Hub.

I use the Hub though as I have a Hub phone.

Also I find the wireless connection more reliable with the Hub

I think i'll move back to my Linksys then as the RF is good and I don't use any other services.

Thanks

My line is a little unstable and wont stay up for 3 days. It goes down once a day for a couple of seconds. (It's done that for the last 3 years) probably because of the distance to the exchange.

Will this effect my IP profile?

Does it have to up for a solid 3 days before it recalculates?

Thanks

P.S I'm currently sync'ed at 1664Kbps

Doesn't have to be up for a solid 3 days, but a low sync event will pull it down.

What are your stats on here http://192.168.1.254/cgi/b/dsl/dt/?ce=1&be=0&l0=1&l1=0

Also, if you have an BT NTE5 faceplate http://www.clarity.it/telecoms/nte5_faceoff.jpg, try syncing at the test socket and see if you get a higher result.
Extension wiring can seriously degrade Max DSL performance

Cheers Colin. I'm using my Lynksys router now.

I'll wait until Wednesday moring (which should be 3 days) and see if the ip profile updates.

I'm not using my master socket at the moment so i'll try this on Wednesday if i'm not happy. Then i'll try the test socket.

Cheers
