I've been completely mis sold.
Raised the matter as a fault but told by support that the line won't be upgraded until October 2011. They initially said within 5 days!
Can't understand why speed so good with BE?
Here's the data. Can anyone suggest a fix whilst I make up my mind what to do about the poor level of service I'm receiving. Thanks

Quote from: droom Assured that speed would be same if not better.
I can think of no reason why.
And several why not:
1. DLM
2. IP Profiles
3. Lack of Be-style "tweaking" options
4. Traffic management (none on Be)
5. In your case, no ADSL2+ with PN
It looks like you could potentially have got around 18 to 19mbps with Be if your line & wiring were well-behaved and optimised.

Thanks for your time on the phone today. As discussed, if you can run a BT speed test we will be able to analyse the results in a bit more detail.

The Service ID is optional and you shouldn't need it

Had a quick check on your account and I've noticed that there is an active trouble ticket open from our suppliers (BT) relating to your local exchange. Although this was cleared a couple of hours ago, we can't discount it from relating to your slow throughput speed. I have enclosed a link for you to the active trouble ticket here.
If you could complete another speedtest for us tomorrow and if its the same low throughput, I would suggest raising a a fault to us so we can investigate further. From this point we can look then into a possible congested Virtual Path (VP) at your exchange which could be affecting your speeds, etc
In relation to comparing our throughput speeds to Be Broadband speeds, I believe they use Local Loop Unbundled (LLU) technology and as such, don't use BT's network to provide you a broadband speed, hence your speeds would be different to what you are currently getting. Once ADSL2+ Rolls out at your exchange which according to BT will be done by the latest of October, I would expect your speeds to be just as comparable if not possibly better although I can't guarantee this until your connection goes onto ADSL2+.

Absolute rubbish!
Be don't use IP Profiles to artificially restrict speeds below the current sync speed. Be don't have a crazy DLM system that penalizes you for days after a few transient problems.

http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/max_speed_calc.php gives a pretty good guestimate of the expected speeds - the throughput it gives for BT is always lower than on LLU.
droon - that says you were probably seeing about 16500 on Be - is that about right? If so the best you can hope for from Plusnet will be around 16000.
