Hi Guys
My line speed seems to have got stuck at 4.7 meg. I have achieved constant line speeds of about 7.5 meg for a number of months now. I believe it has dropped due to me needing to switch off the electricity numerous times recently and forgetting to unplug the modem :S
Could one of the mods give my profile a little nudge whilst leaving my upload uncapped?
Much appreciated

What's your IP Profile as reported by the BT speed test?

I've just increased your profile on our systems to 5900kbps to match the IP profile.

Re: Profile

Thank you that is much appreciated. Is it possibly my BT IP profile has been banded due to the disconnections caused by the power being turned off and on. As for many months now I have been able to achieve  7 - 7.5 and now my ip profile has dropped to 5.95 causing speeds to reduce. If so do I have to wait for this to rectify itself or is there another way of bumping it up.
Thanks

Re: Profile

Your noise margin looks normal which suggests your line isn't banded (banded lines tend to have stupid high noise margins). However your sync speed is very low for your attenuation - there's something very odd going on!

Re: Profile

Thanks for getting back to me jelv, hopefully Plusnet forum staff can shed some light?
Historically my line has always been very stable, to give credit to the TG585 it is rock solid at staying connected ( More could be said about it's wireless performance but that's why I run it in bridge mode and use my Airport Extreme for NAT, DHCP, WiFi etc )

Re: Profile

Something I also forgot to mention was my master socket. I don't have a NTE5. My line drops in near the window and goes into a BT junction box, from this box the wire goes to a socket near by with the extension for upstairs wired into the back of this socket. The junction box on the window ledge seems to be falling to bits and the socket isn't much better :S
