Re: Broadband speed just dropped?

For some reason my IP profile has dropped my broadband speed has dropped and I don't know why. These were the results of my BT diagnostics test:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 8.97 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 4 Mbps-21 Mbps.
IP Profile for your line is - 9.54 Mbps

Re: Broadband speed just dropped?

Sorry to hear that Jason, you might want to try again now in case that was a bit soon after the profile change.
What does a test at http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ show you?
