Am i stuck on a fixed 2mbps?

Hi AGAIN

My 2nd line broadband was currently activated last week, i did some speed tests and nothing would go over 2mbps, i then decided to check the IP profile and its at 2mbps but the profile checker only shows a max achievable speed of 2mbps and not the usual 7 something mbps which makes me think i'm on a fixed 2mbps, link below to the screenshot

Im currently in the 6th day of the line training period, should i wait the full 10 days to see if the problem solves itself or will it just stay at the 2mbps till i do something about it?

You may wonder why i just don't call sse customer service, its takes them 40 mins to answer so thought i'd try here first for some advice

Thanks all

It does suggest that the sync rate is 7.1 Mbps so yes you may be on a capped profile.

Which modem/hub do you have? And can you get a full set of line stats?

Which ISP?

And the connection speed, attenuation and noise margin from the modem are?

These figures are what actually drives the setting the IP Profile value.

The DSL Connection Rate of 7.1 Mbps in the wholesale test suggests you may be suffering a stuck IP profile, rare but possible if you are on an old IPStream Max exchange (not cross referenced previous threads to check this)

Hi

Looking at the image you are NOT on a fixed rate product, (the upload synch would be 228 kbps)

You are connected at about 7 Mbps down and 448 kbps down.

Quite why you are unable to transfer at >2 Mbps I don't know....I think a long wait for SSE is in order

Mention a stuck IP profile, a look at your router stats would be handy to see connection uptime;( you could have had a connection in the last 3 days of about 2Mbps) you could also try a router reboot (only once)

Hi thanks both for the response. my line stats are as follows

Device Information

DSL
Line Status:Connected

Max Rate (Kbps) 980 7136
SNR Margin (dB) 19 5
Line Attenuation (dB) 23 44.4
Errors (Pkts) 0 0

And im with SSE Broadband

Yes thats what i feared, and yes i rebooted it for the first time a couple of hours ago to see if that would boot it into shape.

I have come across a few cases where the downstream appears fixed/capped at 2Mbps with a 448kbps upstream. A quick search brings up examples such as: https://community.bt.com/t5/ADSL-Copper-Broadband-Sp...

Yes i came across a couple of them when i was doing some searching on the problem at hand, guess i'll have to phone sse "what a nightmare!"

Any idea what i should ask them to do as im not great at getting across to any phone support, just leads to a bigger problem.

You have what is termed a stuck IP profile, which does happen sometimes, used to be more common when IPStream Max was the dominate product.

So nothing wrong with the line connection speeds, in fact for 44dB attenuation they are actually VERY good. The IP Profile is annoying on IPStream Max, so a good test of SSE is they understand the issue, key phrase that should wake them up is 'stuck IP profile'

Ok thanks very much, i'll get to calling them
