Plusnet Premium Estimated line speed

mPH — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:02:37 GMT

At the start of this month i switched from a monthly contract to Plusnet Premium. Before i was getting a stable 6.5mbps but now i am only getting around 1.8mbps. My current line speed has dropped from 7150 to 2000. Is this normal when switching or will i now onlt get these speeds? If so i wish i had not switched over.
I did a check at http://speedtester.bt.com/ and these were the results. Seems i should be getting faster than i am currently getting..

Come on Strat, do you really need to ask? We both know it will be 2000!

Indeed the profile had dropped to 2000 due to a problem we are investigating during the account change. I've upped this to 7150 to match the BT IP Profile.

@mPH
If your speeds haven't returned you may need to disconnect/reconnect.

Yes thank you that has sorted it!!! Disconnected and reconnected now, and all back to what i was getting before, but with better Ping for some reason (not complaining though) Thanks for the quick response!
