Switched to unlimited today and slow speed

Notification of unlimited arrived an hour or so ago.
Since then web browsing has been very slow: dial-up was faster!
Speed test gives 5622/61 (max poss is 8 d/l in Market 1 area) but this in no way reflects what I am seeing - so, PlusNet, what have you done?
Is the IP profile wrong again?
Whatever, I am NOT happy.
(Edit: there is some intermittency about this. Reloading this page was instant but clicking Modify for this edit took ages and Chrome gave a long delay/reload message.)

Try reporting the issue.  
I had a problem with streaming after upgrading to unlimited and support amended my profile.  A brief test the other night showed things much improved, though I still have to do a full test this w/end.  I've also been told to leave the router turned on for the next 10 days while the line is 'educated'.

Thanks, WTF.
This morning speed is better and I noticed a reset in the early hours according to router diagnostics.
So far, so good but I'll be keeping an eye on this.
BTW, last time I reported an problem here (incorrect IP profile) it was fixed within a couple of hours - great service.
So, PlusNet lurkerstaff, is there an upload cap and can it be removed? 61kbps is a "bit" slow.

Re: Switched to unlimited today and slow speed

Could you post the full results of the BT diagnostic test please.
What does https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed say for your current line speed?

Hi Mardler,
Glad to see your speeds have picked up, I can't see anything that caused this though.
Regarding your upload, you can uncap this. You are on a 20CN exchange though which would mean uncapping your upload is chargeable, you can find out more here under Max Premium.

Thanks, Chris, if chargeable I'll leave it.
Speed OK now, btw.
