Can't your isp request Openreach engineer to come out and replaced new socket

In reply to a post by j0hn83:

While only BT Wholesale have a publicly viewable IP profile system, all backhaul providers have to apply their own limit to downstream traffic based on sync speed.

With Talktalk and Sky backhaul this gives identical throughput values as BTw with around 96.7% on Retx Low and between 91-92% on Retx High.

You seem recently to be trying to "correct" me at every available opportunity. Rarely do you add anything useful to my posts, nor is what I have posted actually wrong in substance.

It's as much of as an irritant to me as adslmax is to others. Slightly below that from a wasp in the room, but worse than the occasional silent fly. I hope it isn't deliberate. I'm on the verge of needing to start counting my posts site-wide and how many pointless "non-corrections" you make to them .

When I was more active on the technical/ISP forums I frequently posted extracts from and links to BT SIN 498 on precisely this matter.

Yes, all providers are required (expected) to limit the speed data is sent to the relevant DSLAM, in one way or another, but there is only one (wholesale) provider that specifically uses the term "IP Profile", and I am sure that is what the poster I replied to was referring to.

Also, don't forget that the IP Profile system far predates FTTx

You what?

Your post was nonsense. It's completely wrong in substance.

That IP Profile only applies on BT Wholesale circuits. AIUI the OP is on TT backhaul.

You seem to be posting useless information a lot these days Max. Even when it is correct it is rarely relevant to the discussion at the time.

You criticised max for posting an irrelevant statement, claiming the OP's line doesn't have or can't have the limited throughput max suggested based on the DLM profile, because it isn't a BT Wholesale line and therefore no IP Profile.

That's just totally incorrect.

All backhaul providers must limit a lines profile based on the current sync speed, just as BT Wholesale do.
They all have their own internal version of the BT Wholesale IP profile, just implemented their own way.

Max's English isn't the best and you know it.

Is your justification for jumping on his post because he referred to it as an "IP profile"?
He didn't call it a BT Wholesale IP Profile.

That IP Profile only applies on BT Wholesale circuits

That's just incorrect.

I corrected that so the OP didn't make the assumption that his line wasn't profiled based on the current sync and current DLM profile, which is what your post seemed to suggest.
It is.
Almost identically to how BT Wholesale do it.
At least 1 of the other GEA backhaul provider even names it an IP Profile internally.

My correcting of you in the other thread regarding the Wayback post was clearly in jest. Don't get your knickers in a twist.

You're on a public forum. If you don't want corrected once in a while then stop posting.

Edit: typos
