It may not be helped by my profile being stuck on 8000 when it should be 9000.

By broadband line has been upgraded and although I am seeing higher sync speed and significantly improved upload speed, I see now difference whatsoever in download speed.

Let me have a look and see if there is anything I can find.
*edit*
Your account was still showing as on ADSL Max from our side, I've given it a kick and it's showing as ADSL2+ with a downstream profile of 5000 now. Hopefully that's more like what you were expecting.

Thanks for looking into this. Just to give you a brief brakdown of my details - router is Draytek Vigor 2820n with latest stable firmware (3.3.0 UK), SNR margin is 9 to 10 and LOOP ATT. is 44 (i guess that is Attenuation Ratio). I am about to take a look inside BT sockets in my house to see if anything there is amiss.

Yes, I do see the improvement now. Upload speed over 700kb and download speed @ 4.5mb (from 370kb/3.4Mb respectively). Considering I am relatively close to the exchange, is there a way to boost the speed a bit further?
Thanks in advance!

looks like I'm switched over to the trial, althought the sync speed and dl speed didn't move:
Today 18:21 6516 kbps (815kB/s) 740 kbps (92.5kB/s)
Apr 9, 21:32 6578 kbps (822kB/s) 372 kbps (46.5kB/s)

I will not hide the fact that the last numbers means nothing to me.. at all

Looks like I've been upgraded to ADSL2+ today. My synch speed is up to 9980, with a much improved upload speed of 758, but not really much improvement in the download speed of 5880. Would you please check that my profile has been updated.
Thanks

you need to wait for your ip profiles to reflect the new sync. what does your bt profile stand athttp://www.speedtester.bt.com/
i was switched on the 8th of this month and few days later i had i ticket opened and closed on my account saying PN had set my pn profile to 21000. i only have 3mb as iam along way from exchange. i am not 100% certain but i think plusnet have started to fix new trial members pn profiles to this value permanently as the 21cn profile update systems didn't seem to work 100% and jameseh was having to do it manually alot of the times

attention is this the routers way of letting you know how long your line is. mine is 51db down around 3.6km in line length
try this site and enter your atten it will give a gd est of what your line should be capable off.
tip bookmark kitz site as its got alot of info on how broadband works. very useful site
