In reply to a post by Oldjim:

My experience is that the upstream noise margin is 11dB with the sync speed varying between 800kbps and 888kbps and this is with the upstream interleaved - this is set automatically by the exchange

I miss BE LLU.

still waiting for mine to be uncapped

Sorry to hear you are still waiting to be uncapped, perhaps you ought to give CS a reminder. I was uncapped within 4 days. My stats at this very moment are;
Downstream
Noise Margin: 2.8 dB
Bandwidth: 20011 kbps
Attenuation: 19.0 dB
Power: 0.0 dBm
Errors:
FEC: 0
CRC: 461
HEC: 3480
Failures since last reset:
LOF: 2
LOS: 18
LPR: 0
ES : 599
Upstream
Noise Margin: 6.0 dB
Bandwidth: 1235 kbps
Attenuation: 10.5 dB
Power: 12.4 dBm
Errors:
FEC: 0
CRC: 35
HEC: N/A

I suspect it would be a minority who would actually know or care (and if they shoot off to some other ISP as they may well be the heaviest traffic users, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest)

I know my download speed has tested at around 10 Mbps (though I have to say I was slightly annoyed to have buffering when using iPlayer to watch some snooker {not a live game, but a previous broadcast} just a day or two ago), but as for my upload speed, I've no idea, and for many, unless they're doing online backups etc, it's probably a low priority...

what makes you come to that conclusion ?

I could imagine someone using wireless (rather than a wired connection) hitting some problems, as there can only be one device transmitting at once, or packets of data will clash and need to be resent, and the higher the download traffic, the less chance of any upload traffic finding a spare slot (depending on number of devices, age of hardware and protocols/standards being used).

Hi Stanman_24,

Feel free to PM your username over and I'll take a look at that for you.

Regards,

From experience
One morning everything ground down to almost a standstill - browsing was impossible despite everything appearing to be OK
I went to check the other computers which were connected to see if it was only on my machine.
I found that my daughter had a P2P application running with no restriction on the upload so it was maxing out the connection. It had finished downloading so it wasn't that and in any case the Plusnet traffic shaping would have sorted it by restricting the speed/priority
I stopped the application and everything was back to normal

been uncapped

I'm in the same boat.

Ticket was updated Friday 26th to say the uncap order had been placed. I'm still waiting for something to happen this end.

Anyone have any idea how long this sort of thing should take normally. It's just a database change right?
