BT Profile > PN Profile ???

[#1]

Hi, Some of my downloads have seemed a bit slow recently.
I checked my router (Vigor 2600VGi) and it is still syncing at 8128kbps, but I restarted it anyhow as I know that is crucial when experiencing speed problems and it came back at 8128kbps.
I next ran the BT Broadband Checker and got the following results below, but I noticed that on the PN site my profile says 6500 and why is my throughput so low compared to by profile
Thanks,

Hi Dave,
I've changed your profile at our end from 6500Kbps to 7150Kbps to match the BT profiling.
However, I wouldn't expect this to make a massive amount of difference especially given your BT Speedtest result.
Have you tried configuring you MTU and rWin (if not using Vista) settings?  There's a video tutorial showing you how to do that here:

I'd try rebooting your router and running a speedtest, then try doing the mtu/rwin stuff afterwards if you haven't seen any improvement.

Hi Jamesh,
I must admit I have not, I think I did on my old router, but on the current one.
I will watch the video and adjust my settings accordingly.
Thanks for the swift reply.
Dave.
