The magical 3 day rule

Evening All,

After numerous lovely phonecalls to BT in India I had an engineer visit who increased my speed due to internal wiring and cutting off the other redundant extensions and asking the techhie boys and girls at BT to increase my profile...I went from a downspeed of 236 kbps to 1600 kbps in a matter of moments.
This was Wednesday 21st during the day and in the evening there was some kind of outage on my brandband and the downstream dropped back down to 1024 and download speeds of circa anything between 250-500kbps. Unfortunately on Thursday 23rd I had a wireless problemo and also had to reboot the hub.
I rebooted the old home hub and saw the downstream jump back up to 1856kbps and it's been this constant for 1 day and almost 22 hours.
Reading lots of posts am I right in thinking that if my downstream remains constant I may be getting better speeds come Monday evening, aka after the 3 days of ensuring my BT profile remains constant

No, your sync rate is not affected by any 3 day period, nor is it likely to increase further with your stats as you're on quite a small margin already.

Could you explain what you mean by the small margin? If I had speeds before of 1600 kbps when the BT engineer was here I was expecting to get something like that again????

Ta v much

Is it possible for you to use something else, rather than the troublesome home hub ?

I'd love to but was hoping that the speed would pick up after 3 days according to the BT engineer. Everyday I seem to have issues with my imac not recognising the hub...it recognises eveyone elses in my strret except mine!

Any suggestions for a replacement?

Pretty much anything you like. These Home Hubs are displaying a trait for proving iffy.

Apologies, I thought you were asking about your downstream sync rate increasing further, as displayed in your modem stats. This is unlikely to increase, however as long as your modem keeps syncing at or above 1728kbps when you connect then your maximum download speed should increase back up to around 1500kbps after 3 days.

PS - see the speed table at the bottom of this page to see what download speeds to expect with different sync speeds.

It's now up to 936 kbps so some magic is happening down the line.

If only the homehub will stay operational and not lose the wireless signal to the imac every 5 minutes!!!! As my windows laptop loses the signal as well me thinks the home hub is a pile of...

BT engineer visiting agin on Friday so will get him to do some more work with the internal wiring so I don't have to rely on wireless signals.
