This is my first post.
PlusNet has always been fine for me, I don't get blazing speeds but I get what I expect, around 3-4 meg downstream. But not the last few days, it's running slower than dialup.
Speedtester Results: Download Speed Achieved: 86 Kbps, Acceptable Range Speeds : 50-250 Kbps. your DSL connection Rate: 4128 Kbps Downstream, 448 Kbps upsteam, IP Profile 135 Kbps
To be honest, i read the sticky post and it talked about blips and 135 Kbps being a bad result but I really have no idea what to do about it? or what it really means.
Help!
My modem stats say:
System Up Time 05:56:02

The IP Profile (set by BTW) limits your download speed to not more than that value - actually significantly less when connection management is take into account.
The sync speed has now recovered to 4128kbps which will give an IP Profile of 3500kbps; but it can take 2 days for that large increase to filter through the system. Your router stats show an uptime of 6 hours - is that when the increased sync rate was achieved?

Not sure exactly when the sync rate increased, it was playing up on the 7th, i remember checking and it connecting at some crazy low speed and it was actually struggling to sync on the afternoon of the 7th, for a while it wouldn't, then last night it was back to connecting at 4128 Kbps.
I take it I just wait? do nothing, and hope thats it sorted?
Patience, I wish I had some

However the 'dropping connection' incident is not normal, and should be looked into if it becomes a regular issue. Things you can check yourself are explained in the Dropping connection guide.

It seems from the graph below that you are turning your router off a lot. Do you turn this off every time you use your computer? WHat make and model is your router?

A large proportion of the complaints here relate in one way or another to BT's abject failure to do the same.

Hi Jojo
I've not been watching this post for a few days hoping that the IP Profile would rise from the sloooow 135 and normality would return. Still at 135, still slow internet, still waiting. The router gets switched off when i'm at work, when I go out, during the night . . . . . no point in wasting electricity when i'm not using it, thats my theory
Switching it off shouldn't make any difference though should it? As long as when it goes back on it syncs at a reasonable speed?
Should the 135 have risen by now?
The router is a Netgear DG834PN, always worked well, been very happy with it.

Any switch on after about 3 pm will give you a bad speed.
And as per the other comments from JoJo BT have given you a slow connection in an attempt to keep the line stable
Now just plug it in, leave it switched on for at least 10 days and your speed should increase

OOI How long does DLM take to recognise that a disconnection is intentional?
Quote from: Joanne Yes, apparently DLM will see that as an intentional disconnection, whereas if it's switched off without any warning it would fairly assume that the connection has dropped.

Hmm, strange after years of switching off when not in use that this should suddenly start to cause issues.
