Well I'm paying for 80/20! And it certainly looks like it's capable of a lot more (currently anyway). There is someone else a bit further (about 200yds) up the road with BT getting an actual of 57Mbps...

Thanks - I'll post on the Plusnet forum in the morning.

The actual figures are:

FTTC Range A (Clean) 	        50.3 	35.8 	10.4 	7 	-- 	Available
FTTC Range B (Impacted) 	43.6 	21.8 	10.4 	6 	-- 	Available

Comprehensive live stats via DSL Stats (5 min update) now available via link in my sig.

Well PN have now agreed to put me on 80/20 from tomorrow so will see what happens and post back.They did agree with what you and timl said - I wonder how many other people have got a lot higher than the estimate? Mind you, there are only a handul of people on the Cab at the moment although there seems to be an Openreach van by it now every time I walk past.

No poster on it though (local council planning guy said they they had not stopped it) so very few people know about the availability currently. The download doesn't worry me too much in practice, it's the upload I speed I need.

Thats good, you should see a good speed improvement. Our works connection was put on a 40/10 product, our estimate was 36, we had an attainable of 43 so I never bothered getting it changed, with interleaving we get around 37, so we wouldn't be any better off. I suspect there are loads of people that would be.

Well the IP Profile was changed by plusnet at around 01:00 this morning and a test at about 06:00 only showed 36 down still but around 12up (against 8.35). Powered off modem for a while around 06:30 and restarted and now get (BT Wholesale Tester) 55/11!

The BT diagnostics now show an IP Profile of 57.7/ 20. Modem data is:

Max:	Upstream rate =    15044 Kbps, Downstream rate = 60292 Kbps
Path:	0, Upstream rate = 14841 Kbps, Downstream rate = 59613 Kbps
                  Up             Down
SNR (dB):	 6.4		 6.2
Attn(dB):	 0.0		 0.0
Pwr(dBm):	 11.8		 6.9

The Down stream SNR has changed from ~16 to 6.3 now.

BT Wholesale checker shows 55.46/11.63 with an indicated profile of 57.7/20, The TBB Speedtest shows 53/58.5 and 12.7/12.7

So well pleased and thanks for the help. If you look at the DSL Stats in my sig all available data is there and updated every 5 mins. I guess this will all go downhill as other people get connected (and I'm 800m from the cab so this is a pretty good result for the distance).

One query - the unlocked HG612 (cab is also Huawei if that matters any more) isn't responding to pings so the TBB Latency tester is nicely red - modem is using the October 2013 firmware and I'd assumed it might now allow pings?

Its not the HG612 that responds to pings, but the router you have connected to the LAN 1 port that needs to respond.

Sorry, of course. It's a Technicolor TG582n plusnet version.

I've turned ping on now. Thanks

I imagine BT will send out flyers soon enough. Generally happens a month after the area goes live
