Can someone please tell me how to go about getting my IP Profile raised to be in line with my Plusnet line speed. I have tried restarting my router, checking all the micro filters on my line, detaching my sky boxes and telephone connections and nothing has helped to raise the profile. Any advice you can give me would be really useful.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem back in May (see my previous posts) but changing the micro filter on my sky+ box sped up my connection almost instantly and reduced the number of errors. Since then the connection has been ok up until about a week ago when I started getting a lot of disconnections (see your records) and a significant reduction in the speed of connection. Over the weekend I did a speed test and saw my IP Profile had been set at 1500 instead of the usual 6500 plus. I changed the filter on my sky+ box again on Monday and the connection was stable (but still slow) for just over 24 hours before I got disconnected again yesterday evening at around 7:30pm. Can you help me find out why I am getting disconnected so frequently at times and why my IP Profile has been set so low?
Thanks

I've been looking into this and the reason your profile is 1500 but higher on our side is that two different parts of the BT systems are reporting 2 different speeds. This is called a consistency fail. I've been in touch with our suppliers and they have applied the change, but said it can take 2 hours to apply.

Are the results from my router reasonably healthy or are there any figures which stand out as being a problem?

I've checked this morning and it's still the same. I'm working on how to get this resolved for so leave it with me for a bit and I'll let you know what I manage to do.

Shortly afterwards I had another loss of signal, the first for about 16 hours. Results from my router were:

My Plusnet current line speed is showing as 6.5 Mb at the moment, so is the problem being caused by BT or Plusnet? If you could keep me updated with the progress in dealing with my complaint I would appreciate it.
Thanks

What you need to do is find any sources of interference that happen in the night. Ask one of the staff members for a connection graph and then you can see when it's disconnecting.
Just my two cents.

Needless to say 72 hours later I still have a consistency fail!

Quote from: cornwallsurfer not sure where the 2 hours on this thread comes from?
When I was onto our suppliers, they processed a change which they said could take 2 hours. That change didn't make any difference, so I'm still working on it.

No, it's nothing to do with that. As I explained earlier, one of the systems is showing the correct profile and another isn't. We are just aiming to get that corrected.
