BTW profile = 6.0mbs but PN line speed 5.5mbps

Hi,
My IP profile says 6.0mbps using the BTW test but PN line speed says 5.5mbps.
It's been like this fo a couple of weeks.
Sync is 6880mbps, am I running at a 5.5 or 6.0mbps IP?
Cheers,
SN.

Hi supernova1,
I've just updated the profile on our side to 6000kbps for you.

I take it the speed test is better now Wink

Hi AO,
Download speed tests don't appear to have changed.

Ah, you need to drop your PPP session. Try that.

Ahhhh, yes Embarrassed
Not a good time to be testing download speeds - the DL graph is all over the place, but it does look better.
I'll try first thing tomorrow morning.

Sync at 6680mbps
At the 5.5mbs profle I get ~5.15Mbps
At the 6mbps profile I get ~5.4mbps.
My line is heavily interleaved at a depth of 64 (a remnant of my previous line problems).

Try another speedtester, that one could be lying  Wink
Edit: btw I think you meant 6880 sync speed - typo  Shocked

Re: BTW profile = 6.0mbs but PN line speed 5.5mbps

Having been through a quick line check (non-intrusive Wink ) I can't see anything immediately concerning. The profile is set to 6000 and isn't showing that it's inconsistent across systems.

Re: BTW profile = 6.0mbs but PN line speed 5.5mbps

Hi AO,
I tried 3 or 4 other speed testers including BTw, thinkbroardband.co.uk which give between 5.3 and 5.5mbps
broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk was the fastest at 5.8mbps.
Is that about the max I should be expecting on a 6.0mbps profile and sync of 6880?

5.8 is pretty good and you probably won't see a lot more. 5.3/5.5 suggests a bit of congestion somewhere, if not exchange then it could be the testers. If not, the other likelihood is maybe error rate is high. Post up your full stats and don't forget the uptime.
What OS are you running?

Re: BTW profile = 6.0mbs but PN line speed 5.5mbps

Hi AO,
Line has been very stable over the past weeks since the boost, so I'm very happy.
I'm running Vista home premium.
I've only ever seen 5.3 to 5.5 on all the testers i've tried... over several weeks (The 5.8 looks like an outlier).
Would the interleaving depth have any effect on the speed? Pings are usually about 40ms.
