How often is line speed updated

Hi,
I have had some issues with my adsl modem that casused it to drop connections and re-sync at lower speeds than the line was capable of, as a result my line speed has been downgraded by BT. I bought a replacement modem and have since be synced at a solid 6350 kbps so was wondering if and when my line speed would be increased to reflect the sync or do I need to disconnect\reconnect to force a change?
Thanks.

it should take about 3 days for the BT systems to trigger a change in tthe ipProfile and up to 12 hours after that for thr Plusnet system to catch up (they do it twice a day)

From my experience running a couple of bt speed tests speeds this up loads. Have you done any?

I haven't run any speed tests since noticing my line speed change but its got to be worth giving it a try.
Thanks for the info.

Just ran a speed test and yes it seems my line speed has been adjusted according to my new sync speed. Just waiting for the plusnet change now  :).
Thanks.

Your speed profile on your side is showing as 5500 which matches the IP profile on our side, it updated Saturday afternoon.

The line profile script is only running once a day at the moment.

Re: How often is line speed updated

why - surely having to wait up to 24 hours for a speed increase isn't acceptable
