In reply to a post by RobertoS:

As far as I know there has never been any mention of a 3-day delay for the Current line speed to update.

I've done 3 resyncs on a Plusnet 21CN line then monitored daily. Each time the current line speed has updated somewhere between 72-90hrs later.

It's problematic both ways (current line speed can be too high) and is just one of many reasons I'll be moving my friends and family over to someone else as soon as the 12 months is up.

Me?

Did you monitor when the IP Profile changed?

Of course, that updated straight away.

I did a speed test this morning and have now been bumped up to a 5mb profile on plusnets side, checked he current line speed is now showing the 5mb/s. Took a long time to be honest.

Oh poo! Sorry, hit reply on the wrong post.

You've got your units wrong. I think it could take up to three hours because of when the scripts are run - but they've made another change recently which may have changed that.

Alternatively, you've got confused with the situation on 20CN where it typically took around 3 days for the IP Profile to change.

Note: Reposted as reply to correct post.

I guess it's another part of PN's network management philosophy

Well, it's official, Plusnet consider 5 days for their profile update to be timely.

Neither of your explanations is correct. I would say that the Plusnet web site says that the Plusnet profile should be updated more frequently. It maybe that they have improved their procedures since the last time I checked exactly what was happening.
