i tried that but found the speed to be all over the place, or maybe that was just coincidence at the time and worth another try

From what you've said it should be fine, for both latency and packet loss, so possibly there was or is another factor. When did you try 50?

sometime last week, i did do this about 8pm in the evening , i assume would be better done in the morning, although it did obtain the sync for a 5500 profile

I'm starting to see how your IP Profile may have been a little confused now you've given a bit of history and know that much tweaking has gone on!

It's always worth giving all the facts when you post
It's also worth registering here at TBB (it's FREE) so we know you're the same person!
