You did far better than I did, when I was pursuing my speed problem he was here for about 30 minutes and was not allowed near the PCP cabinet! My speed has improved recently but I'm still 10 meg below my download estimate of 57Mbps, was getting just under 40 at one point.

Well at least you did not get a 'Kelly Comms' engineer...or did you

Speed increased even more today, delighted with a BT IP Profile of 70.4 the highest I've had

No, both the install and the fault check were done by a BT engineer.

You may gain more speed yet, if you have interleaving on, if it's reduced further you will gain speed.

That is utter twaddle !

Yes, he can't access the DSLAM cabinet, but doesn't need to, just check on the end of the ties in the copper cabinet. There is no skill set for Openreach engineers which does not allow for work in PCP.

You were shined on, I'm afraid.

Yes, I guessed as much, he was going to swap ports and pairs but said he was told not to. After the engineer left he phoned me about half an hour later and said he'd driven past the pcp and there was another engineer working on the FTTC cab, as there had been reports of disconnections from other users. Apparently down to loose wires. This was last September / October IIRC.

I had been having many resyncs which greatly reduced after this. I was first on the cab last August, but I think the fastest I ever synced at was just over 50, which reduced to around 40 over a few days/weeks after connection . Up until about a month ago I was syncing at 42, but I'm now syncing on fast path at 47 Mbps , which is 10 below my estimate of 57, at least my connection seems to be increasing in speed
