Bit of a result!

Ages ago i found out that my line was quite a bit slower due to the fact that i run through 2 cabs before getting to the exchange,so i took that on the chin and wished for fiber (fat chance at my exchange!).
But last week after running the BT wholesale checker it was giving me results showing that i should be getting over 2meg more than i currently was,so rang up PN and a engineer visit was booked....But through having to cancel it the previous evening,even tho he turned up he wasn`t permitted to access the cab.
Well,eventually another engineer was arranged for this morning (really nice and helpfull chap actually) and he did his online checks to see if there was spare capacity to send me through 1 cab,computer said no,but he went and had a looksee anyway.......low and behold,he found a line in the 2nd hundred he checked!
So,after running his tests to check line quality,synced up the router and now,from old 2 cab setup of just over 5,000,i`m now at 16,408!!
Downstream att down from 45.5 to 25,so a very happy chappy here,but the reason for the post is where the new sync is SUCH a jump from previous,i take it there`ll be a delay before everything catches up with things as the DL speed is stuck @ 4.4meg tho the new profile is around 14.
Have called PN about it and was told it`ll be 3 days for the DLM to catch up with the connection staying stable,so just being inquisitive really.

If that profile is much higher than 4.4Mbps then it is the profile at Plusnet and not the DLM that is holding you back.

Just ran another check as well as the BT wholesale checker...
The wholesale checker is showing as it was just before he changed the line to run through 1 cab,i guess it`s a sit `n` wait for things to wake up with BT`s records?
If it is just the profile holding me back (currently @ 4.4) can someone kindly adjust it if they happen to pop in and see this?

CS could manually set it to 14400 now, if you ask them and you'd get the speed increase now.
A bird in the hand...

Can you provide me with the Question ID this issue relates to so I can take a look for you?

No need for a soft reset then?

Edit:
Sorry - realised that might have been confusing given the nature of this query!
I meant that yes, doing a soft reset will sort that for you. All we are looking for is the PPP session to drop, it'll do it automatically but if you do it by doing a soft reset, it'll update straight away.

now.....
Slight difference i think,guess that`s what losing one cab and reducing your downstream att by 20db does for your connection.
How long should i give it before having my upload uncapped Chris?
