Wireless speeds on FTTC are almost always well below wired, and fluctuate a lot. The signal strength may be 75%, but you should also check the transmission speed as that can be subject to interference even with a good signal. Mine varies a lot in the evening, to the point were a wireless speed test can show well under 10Mbps downstairs, but upstairs or wired over 36Mbps.

The throughput also depends greatly on which ISP you are with, just like it did on ADSLx.

If you run the BT speed test that shows you the profile.

If you have a fixed IP address you could run the tbb Quality Monitor which would show up any disconnections.

You won't get the max speed on FTTC, just like on ADSL you won't get 8mbps.

IP profiles are there to stop data from crashing on the recieving end and therefore requesting the data again.

If this is the case, why do LLU services work fine without IP Profiles?

You wouldn't get the max without profiles anyway, layer tunnelling overheads take care of that. You've got a TCP/IP connection wrapped in a PPP connection wrapped in an Ethernet/ATM connection - which accounts for the discrepancy between raw throughtput and actual achievable TCP/IP throughout

IP Profiling, to my mind, has no purpose atall other than being obtuse...
