Estimated Line Speed profile

[#1]

I wondered how often this is changed?

Phone exchange: CHIEVELEY

Estimated line speed: 1.0Mb

(This may vary between 0.75Mb and 2.5Mb) - Checked on 2016-03-25 17:07:46

Current line speed: 2.4 Mb

Since the check date I've been migrated to CN21 on 27/4, so estimated speed needs updating.

Will this happen automatically?

BT TEST:

1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.

	Download  Speed
	2.01 Mbps

0 Mbps

4 Mbps Max Achievable Speed

 Download speedachieved during the test was - 2.01 Mbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 1.2 Mbps-4 Mbps.
 IP Profile for your line is - 2.45 Mbps

2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.

	Upload Speed
	0.68 Mbps

0.83 Mbps Max Achievable Speed

Upload speed achieved during the test was - 0.68Mbps
 Additional Information:
 Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 0.83 Mbps

Can someone from PN please respond?

[#3]

I don't think the estimated speed recorded really matters, unless perhaps you're arguing about a fault with Plusnet, and you say your broadband should be faster, and they look at the estimate. And then Plusnet would probably look at the current estimate from BTWholesale anyway.

[#4]

The estimate on our site won't change unless you go through the product change journey, It has no impact on the real life speeds you're getting tbh it's better to check estimates at http://dslchecker.bt.com/

Thanks; here are results:

So Chris, can PN revise my profile up a tad pse?

[#6]

Your profile is correct on both the BT side and our side. Your line is in sync at 2779, so a profile of 2.45 is right (ours is 2400).

[#7]

Chris, thanks 4 that.

Had wrongly assumed that the 1mb reported had been throttling my d/l speed:

Estimated line speed:1.0Mb

[#8]

No problem. It's the 'current line speed' that shows what profile we currently have for you.

[#9]

Estimated line speed:1.0Mb

Estimated speed should really only be used to set expectations at time of order.  Unfortunately it could also be used at a later date to try and excuse a reduction in speed.   Plusnet - do you have MSR and FTR recorded for this line?

[#10]

Yes, this is set during the training period. On this line it's 2278.

[#11]

Is that MSR or FTR?  

I should point out at although this figures should be set, that's not always the case.  Mine remained 2272/1817 which is the 20CN default for almost all my time at Plusnet, apart from a brief time at 288/288 then even briefer at 3424/2739 before returning to 2272/1817 for the remainder.

[#12]

That's the FTR.
