Looking forward to seeing and hearing about your FTTC speed boost tomorrow

So am I but its gone 5pm now and still no sign of it.

Ok looks like something happened about an hour or so, the router rebooted and stats are 55mb down and 15mb up, speed tests still showing 15mb download but hopefully that will change.

I expect around 73mb once DLM has finished.

Finally woohoo

Spoke to Plusnet who have upped the speed profile on the line, a power cycle later and now getting just over 55mb download and 15+mb up.

Hopefully it will increase up to around 73mb when DLM finishes.

DLM will not increase your sync speed, FTTC starts at the highest speed and goes down from there as more connections go live and crosstalk kicks in. Do you have any detailed modem stats to check if your sync speed is correct?

Mine is now up and running, at long last, need to pinch myself!

Hi Irby,

How are are you from cabinet 3?

I have worked out all possible routes and put myself at most 500m from the cabinet. I get a line speed of 32mbps and currently have a downstream attenuation of 26db.

Don't get me wrong - I am grateful of having faster broadband but suspect the top tier 80/20 package May be too high for my line.

Are you aware of any aluminium cables in the area?

Cheers,

Steve

According to Google maps, I'm about 300m away give or take.

A short while back i decided to move the router somewhere and unplugged it all, when i plugged it in I had lost about 10mbps on the connection speed, I guess in time it will all settle down.

Sorry, I don't have any info on the quality of cables in this area.

There's aluminium dotted throughout the D-side network off Irby exchange

I am on heathbank avenue, about 400 metres from cabinet 3- my BT infinity connection started today and I am getting 12Mb/s download, 3Mb/s upload- only twice the speeds of my old Sky DSL connection. Phoned BT and they agreed that I should be getting a minimum 35Mb/s- they ran some diagnostics and could find no problems. Now I have to wait 10 days before they will look at it again...

Not impressed so far!
