Just got my 14 days of service email..

[#1]

Received this:
Now that your service has now been active for 14 days, we thought we'd let you know the speed as it stands today, by way of comparison.
Estimated line speed: 8Mbps
Current line speed: Not available
You can keep a track of your line speed through our website:
https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed

Estimated line speed:
8 - Checked on 2009-11-05 13:54:05
Current line speed:
6500
Is there any reason why my Current speed is set to that and not at 8000 for example? I have had 8 meg downloads before on other providers, just wondering how come im at 6.5 with Plusnet, thanks.

Two things which need checking.
Can you post your router reported speeds and the result from a  BT Speed Test www.speedtester.bt.com

[#3]

and can you tell us your previous ISP as it is not possible on a plain ADSL lint to get much more than 6400 download,  you can synch at 8128 and a profile of 7150

[#4]

Modem
ADSL Firmware Version 7.03.01.66
Modem Status Connected
DownStream Connection Speed 8128 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 832 kbps
VPI 0
VCI 38

Download speedachieved during the test was - 5837 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 1200-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8128 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 832 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps

Some old tests from Prev ISP:

Heres a test with plusnet:

[#6]

Try again now I've made a slight adjustment.
It won't be over 7150, as that's the highest IP profile on an ADSL up to 8Mb line.

[#7]

not sure what service he is on as the upload speed on that last test is over the plain ADSL speed, are they on ADSL2

[#8]

@pierre_pierre: Im on the +Max addon package that costs about 8 quid extra a month for the extra upload speed.
@Chris: Not noticed any difference at all, do I need to reboot router?

[#9]

Although this has changed yes:
Estimated line speed:
8 - Checked on 2009-11-05 13:54:05
Current line speed:
7150
Oh well if that's the highest, 6meg seems my best here?

just found this

Quote from: volta84

I am on the Gaming Pacakage with + ProMax upgrade (increase upload speed/better contention ratio) With Interleaving off and I live about 100m from the exchange. Before having Interleaving on though I was getting pings around your level. Have you checked if its on/off yet? As when mine got turned off I didn't get any notice or anything..

[#11]

Yes, what about it?

[#12]

I posted the same time as you and it answered my question about upload speed
