The odd thing is that for very brief periods my speed goes way high to 10-12mbits?
Is there a problem in my area at the moment or is my router on the way out or what? Is there anything I can do?
Any help would be very appreciated.
My exchange is 1.2 miles away. Here is the info from my thomson plusnet router.
DSL Type: G.992.5 annex A
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 443 / 11,139
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.5 / 0.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 15.0 / 32.5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 31.0 / 9.5
FEC Errors (Up/Down): NA / 0
CRC Errors (Up/Down): NA / 3
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 2

i entered my phone number and it stopped on "checking details" for over a minute then:
The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider.
chrome wasn't listed as suitable browser and i have kept IE6 for a work reason.
is there a particular browser that it will definitively work with? do i need to enter the service ID?

anyway, did it with another machine with IE8 and same result.
is it working for you?
is it essential to do the speedtest with the bt one? i have tried it about 10 times now and keep getting the same response.

The only other thing is to phone support and ask them to check the actual IP profile.
I assume that it may have increased if you are on the updated dynamic line management system. If it has then ask them to manually change the Plusnet copy. Otherwise wait for it to happen automatically
