My Exchange 21CN WBC enabled

[#1]

Just checked SamKnows and thats what it said Whoooo Whoooo 
Can I have the upgrade please 

[#2]

HI Peter,
I've done that for you now, I'll confirm it by email/ticket shortly.
Jojo

I wont have anything bad said about Plusnet the experience is brilliant 

[#4]

You should have the email confirmation now too

[#5]

Yes gottit
Due to be completed on the 16 Dec
"we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas, and a happy new experience with PN   ;D"

[#6]

I guess the upgrade has gone through

But my PN profile has fallen to 3.5 Mbps
Do I wait for an 88.2% reset or does it need a nudge?

Hi there,
It has indeed completed - I've upped the profile on your account to 5800 to match the current sync rate, hope that helps and speeds things up for you

[#8]

Hi gang
since my last post my profile has not moved from 5.8 
is it stuck?
Is it affected by a 10 day training period?

If you're expecting higher than that, then I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think it should be lower than that actually! (5.6 by my probably incorrect calculations)
Plusnet match BT's IP profile (and round down to the nearest 100 afaik) rather than the sync speed shown on the router.
What does BT's speed test say? http://www.speedtester.bt.com/

Yes, I can see you're a couple of days in but I wouldn't bank on a major hike in speeds beyond what you have at present.

[#11]

I've had my 10 day training period.
I am puzzled that my bandwidth stays fixed at 5.8 Mbps while my max bandwidth varies between day and night.
Shouldn't one be following the other?

I would presume that the bandwidth is determined when your connection is established and you have had an 'uptime' of 12 days without a break - so no change.
You could try tomorrow during the day (when the bandwidth is highest), doing a router [DISCONNECT] and then [CONNECT] using the router web page controls, and see if the bandwidth changes.

[#13]

thanks purleigh 
Ive done my duty and not touched the router for twelve days
I feel a good "hacking session" coming on 

[#14]

I don't think disconnecting from Plusnet and reconnecting will change anything (apart from potentially which gateway you connect to). To change things you would have to restart the router (for example by using the Pick a Task option).
The bandwidth remains constant while sync is maintained with the exchange.
In the absence of a better explanation my speculative take on the bandwidth/maximum bandwidth relationship is as follows.
I think maximum bandwidth reflects what bandwidth you are likely to sync at if you did restart the router. Except for those so close to the exchange that they have noise margin to spare, if current noise margin is greater than the target value then maximum bandwidth will normally be above current bandwidth. Typically this occurs during daylight hours. Conversely if current noise margin is below the target value then maximum bandwidth will be below current bandwidth. This is generally the case at night.
The grey area is when the current noise margin and target noise margin values are roughly equal. I suspect maximum bandwidth can be higher or lower than current bandwidth in this situation because the bit loading distribution probably comes into play. If the router thinks bit loading is becoming marginal (for maintaining sync) then maximum bandwidth will be reduced.

Have you tried a reboot yet ?
