79043970 - BT Engineer has fixed line fault but download speed is still poor?

Hi,
With reference to 79043970. A BT engineer visited this afternoon and found a break in the cable leading to my BT socket, he fixed this and said all tested OK. My upload speeds are now back to normal around 7MB, but my download speed is now stuck at 1.63MB? Does my IP profile need resetting?
Many thanks,
Lee

Check that the current line speed shown by https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed matches the IP Profile reported by a diagnostic BT speed test.

Cheers jelv,
No it's not even close as follows:
Phone exchange:
BASINGSTOKE
Estimated line speed:
39Mb (Download speed could vary depending on line conditions. Estimates are the maximum speeds that your phone line can support. These speeds are dependent on the package you choose.) - Checked on 2013-12-29 00:02:20
Current line speed:
1.75 Mb
Thanks,
Lee

Hi there, due to this being a fibre service we need our suppliers to intervene and submit an SNR reset for us. We've rejected the "clear" on the fault to make sure that happens as soon as possible.

Out of interest, what profile do you get from a BT speed test (http://speedtest.btwholesale.com)?

I ran the BT Whole Sale test and got this?

FAQ
Results Image not loaded

1. Best Effort Test:
Download Speed : 1.63 Mbps
2. Upstream Test:
Upload Speed : 7.23 Mbps

Your speed test has completed and the results are shown above, however during the test an error occurred while trying to retrieve additional details regarding your service. As a result we are unable to determine if the speed you received during the test is acceptable for your service. Please re-run the test if you require this additional information.

Log in to your router, disconnect/reconnect and try again. I've upped the profile on our side now.

The IP Profile is given when you run the BT diagnostic test which is a button at the bottom of the page when the first test completes.
