Sounds good, especially for Kellys.

The Openreach DLM normally doesn't interfere till the end of the day after installation, as long as there aren't major problems/errors/disconnections before then.

At that point, if it thinks it needs to act the first step is adding interleaving, overnight is when it does it. Interleaving usually costs about 10Mbps download, and adds 8ms to the latency . In bad cases, even more of each.

In the usual case it often but not always turns it off again after a couple of weeks. Some people have it doing that on a regular basis.

Good luck - let's hope the line is clean and it leaves you on full speed .

So far things have been running smooth. Not everything is downloading at top speed and really I don't expect it to. Just done a few speed tests on speediest.net and finding a good server I got my highest speeds yet. Though bear in mind it's at 2am.

If you run the BT Wholesale Performance Test and continue to the Further Diagnostics you get your IP Profile. Multiply that by 1.033 and you get your sync speed within a few Mbps. Ignore all the red instructions at the start.

Got 74MBps on the BT test, did what u said and that puts it at 77Mbps.

Upload was 15.98Mbps putting it at 16.5Mbps but I think thats a bit low cause I've been seeing higher.

Not the speed test result. The IP Profile in the Further Diagnostics.

The method doesn't apply to the upstream. Your upstream IP Profile will be 20Mbps.

You personally? Most FTTC users never get beyond 16.5Mb/s because the BT modem has QoS enabled which seems to be reserving about 2Mb/s for something. If you flash the firmware you can disable QoS and (luckily) it stays that way even if you put stock firmware back on it.

I get around 18.7Mb/s upload speed without fail from the TBB test. I disabled QoS early on with custom firmware but haven't bothered doing it again since BTor rolled out new firmware.

ok the IP profile says 77.44 Mbps Downstream, and 20 Mbps for upstream. Im happy with my speeds so I won't be hacking any firmware anytime soon. Just letting everyone know that so far things have been ok with plusnet.

Full 80Mbps downstream sync then .

Thought I would update as it's still early days with Plusnet. Having my first bad night with Plusnet Fibre, I've been seeing speeds of 2-7Mbps download speed but no change in the 16Mbps (ish) upload speed. Done a few speed tests on different servers and different devices but it's noticeable when using the net how much slower it feels, some websites and online streaming videos, BBC news, youtube are quite slow as you'd expect. Certainly makes me appreciate the good fibre speeds I've had till now. I'll see how it is in the morning then reset my connection if nothing has changed. Only noticed it from 10pm when I got back from an evening out. Never had my connection go this bad for so long on ADSL2 but have had the odd dip now and again. I'll update in the morning.

A quick reboot of my router seems to have got things back to 60Mbps download, still below the usual speeds but I'll keep an eye on things. Middle of the day isn't the best time for a speedtest Im sure.
