Since joining plusnet My normal speeds have been around 460-470 apart from a few occassions when my profile was changed which increased speeds up to 700 but they always fell back to 460 - 470 after a week.
There have been articles on this site about removing the third (bell wire) in the faceplate but on checking the outside box where the underground cable comes into the house only two wires were connected so I assumed (incorrectly) that there was no point in removing the third wire in the internal face plate but just out of interest I removed it... my speed today was 1371.
I would suggest anyone with a slow speed checks out previous posts on this subject it certainly appears to have worked for me !

gleneagles,
Disconnecting the bell wire is important. It acts as an aerial, either adding noise or transmitting away signal, but only from one wire. This unbalances the ADSL signal and trashes it.
Have a look at the graphs on my web page:

It has been a very simple technical fix to my very poor download speed.

First, the connection from the exchange is only 2 wires. The bell wire is created by some circuit within your master socket.
Second, the ring wire is now all but redundant as modern phones have their own circuitry to deal with ringing the 'bell'. Also the ADSL filter/splitter has the necessary circuit to supply the bell signal if the phone needs it thus no bell wire is needed.
Remember to remove the bell wire at both ends of the cable, not just at the master socket end and make sure it is also removed in any connection boxes.

Hi,
Excellent site dougrice, can you enlarge on what you mean by.... waiting for bras profile to adapt after you disconnected the bell wire.. is this something that automatically updates or do you have to request plusnet to update your profile?
Thanks again

Once you sync at a higher speed, provided you remain at that higher speed for 3 days the equipment in the exchange will uplift your profile automatically.
Hope that helps,
