That is because it is wrong and Plusnet should have sorted it

Oldjim is quite right. Read BT's SIN 498: http://www.sinet.bt.com/index.htm
The relevant paragraph is 2.2.1.

intervene, provided that the line has been trained up for at least 15 minutes during the preceding day" - what is 'after provision'
actually mean? I must say I don't understand why 10 day training periods are mentioned by Plusnet if SIN 498 is relevant (perhaps someone from Plusnet could comment)

Quote from: shalom2010 I wonder if cwaite is measuring his speed connected via wireless or wired (ethernet)? That could explain the speed difference.
The speed test is being run on an Ethernet . BT speedtest says that my profile is a poor 34.02mb and Plusnets high speed broadband section in the member centre says I am connected at only 37mb.

Quote from: Oldjim The 10 day training period was for ADSL not Fibre
After provision is after it goes live
Thanks oldjim for the info, very interesting. So why oh why is Plusnet talking about 10 day training periods! Baffling really.
cwaite you are unlikely to see exactly 37Mbps, in my opinion. You are talking about a 3Mbps difference which could just be the speedtest inaccuarcy? (Only guessing!)

Quote from: cwaite Anyway how can Plusnet legally state that their estimate is accurate to 1mb when clearly it's not in all cases.
I think you're flogging a dead horse!!

Further to the discuss about 10 day training periods on FTTC - this maybe of interest.
http://www.dslchecker.bt.com/pls/adsl/ADSLChecker.AddressOutput
"For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage. Throughput/download speeds will be less than line rates and can be affected by a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises."

Quote from: spraxyt For ADSL it is 10 days, for fibre 2 days ....... one simple statement covers both
...and causes unnecessary delays before FTTC faults are rectified.

Quote from: spraxyt Yes, that's correct. For ADSL it is 10 days, for fibre 2 days - but 10 days also covers that so one simple statement covers both.
Well on the basis you are correct, can you please point me to where it says the training period for FTTC is 2 days and I'll point this out to Plusnet staff who twice told a friend of mine just
connected to FTTC the training period is 10 days!
