Upstream increase not for me I'm afraid.
Spoke to a very knowledgable and nice technical chap, and by increasing my upstream, I lose some downstream speed.

Ring plusnet ask them how much you would lose.  If you do have you upload speed uncapped and you lose too much download speeds they will change it back for you.  Its not set in stone

Hi paul
How did you find out fibre was availble if its not listed I would hate to miss out?. 
Although because I am so close to my BT exchange and my line goes direct in to it their no BT cabinet inbetween so I may lose out on fibre

Thats an impressively steady graph !
Not bad at all.. I Personally, would have the US uncapped too.
But thats just preference Wink

If you do lose downstream speed when having the upstream uncapped (very unlikely, as upstream and downstream use different frequencies

Jaggies, could this speed loss be down to having interleaving turned off then ?
I have read on a few forums that sometimes on ADSL2+ if you have interleaving turned off, then your line gets capped at a speed way less than what you should be getting.

I haven't heard of that, but anything is possible. I don't think Interleaving can be turned off completely on ADSL2+, but the depth of Interleaving can be increased or decreased. Unless you specifically need low pings for gaming, etc. then it's probably better to leave it on.

Gaming is the main reason I asked for interleaving to be turned off,

Before i had my interleaving turned off i was syncing around 22000 with a profile of 19000 but ever since having interleaving turned of the dlm has changed my snr target everyday and is now at 22 giving me a sync of around 9000

Looks like another PN patron  had the same thing happen, my noise margin hasn't changed though, it is still around 6 up and 6 down.

My download speed had dipped to around 15.8mb/s for the last two weeks, but for the past couple of days has risen again, to 16.7mb/s
