I've had 60Mb out of speedtest.net before now, it's a spurious result so I just delete it. The real ones are consistently the same speed, 37.5Mbps.
Quote from: fagin Although my speed fluctuates dependant on time of day, this kind of speed is not uncommon on my connection and my PN Profile is set at 37mb.

Quote from: _Adam_Walker_ it's nice to see a fibre speed test actually above 40mb, that's not an invite for Bob Pullen to start showing off by the way
I thought it was actually impossible on FTTC Adam
Edited to add - Unless you are on an 80/20 trial and in which case that would be a very poor result.

To find out the IP Profile value, use the speed tester at http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ (but NOT the beta version). That will tell you a profile value for both upstream and downstream.
Using FTTC since 2011. Currently on 80/20 Unlimited Fibre Extra.

Thanks WWWombat. I thought this tool reported the IP profile, too, but when I run it (the non-beta version), the output is simply:
1. Best Effort Test:
Download Speed : 34 Mbps
2. Upstream Test:
Upload Speed : 1.98 Mbps
However, this is telling in itself, and it looks like I am suffering from the missing MB, because the engineer's test showed a line speed of 39998kbps.
JoJo, or Plusnet staff - please can you work your magic on this with the 20Mb profile?
Thanks very much,
Gary

just done that. It should take effect in the next 15 minutes. Let me know if you see any difference.

Thanks, Jo - you're a star! It made a difference almost immediately. Jumped from about 33Mb speedtest to 38Mb!
Just out of curiosity, can you tell me more about how this fix works? Of course, it's entirely counterintuitive that a 20Mb profile gives me a faster speed than the 37Mb profile did!
