If it wasn't present then - for example - a download could saturate your connection thereby crippling VOIP
Quote from: jelv You really don't understand how it works!
Data being sent to you goes Plusnet gateway, BT network, your exchange, your line to your router. If Plusnet don't throttle the connection it is totally arbitrary which data is dropped by BT so if you are running P2P and that saturates the line VoIP, gaming, streaming will suffer packet loss as BT throws away packets that exceed the capability of your line. If Plusnet throttle the speed they discard the P2P packets first so that BT don't have to.

Last night at 00:06am (midnight give or take a few minutes), the connection dropped (even though the SNR was 7.0dB at the time) reconnecting at 2203kbps and the IP profile according to the SpeedTester site is now 1940kbps.

Just bear in mind though that these may drop down again with the next delta reports, as we're still getting the ones in 500/1000 increments below what your profile is reporting.

the Expected profile is 6000
oh I forgot to mention that I'm on the DLM trail. (as far as I know), which sets a Hard Profile.
Maybe a member of the PN Team could clarify the Situation for me

The hard fixed profile will just mean that your line will always try to sync at the highest rate. It won't make any difference to the way the IP profile is calculated. I'll also raise your profile on our side to 6000.

i my exchange has just been upgraded too and the SNR is now NOT moving from 8 from previously moving between 2 to 6 and my line sync speed appears dropped from 74?? to 5312
Can the updates mess up the SNR reset previously processed by PN. I'm now down 1mb and appear to have a fixed SNR. Can PN please help me out with a SNR reset. The previous set to 6 saw it fluctuate between 3 and 7 and I had a sync of 74??
Fibre will not be wide spread in Scotland 'til I'm well pushing up the daisies so I'd like to retain the good speed that I had.
Cheers,
podman
