I do hope this is nothing to do with the fact that I have supplied my MAC to a competitor
Got a solid sync at 15Mb/s. IP Profile is 13Mb. Everything has been fine for the last few days.
However, speed test is now (Bbmax and speedtest.net) only running at around 800kb/s.
I've tried rebooting the router. (Still plugged into test socket)

Speed test has gone up to about 2Mb/s - still yesterday it was fine at about 12mb/s
I've phoned support - but all they were able to do was confirm I am syncing OK.

EDIT - speed tests have been gradually improving - from 1.5mb to 2mb to 3 last one was 8 (Still 4 short of my usual 12 though 🙂
EDIT again - back down to 4.

But I get the same result on a laptop with wireless (and ethernet disconnected from the router - so nothing else is connecting.)

The only other thing I can try now is swap the router. Not sure I can be bothered though, as I change to BE next Wednesday.

Interestingly, this guy on think broadband is having (seemingly) similar problems - high sync, profile, and bb speed, but very poor actual throughput.. Are there some problems with capacity on 21cn?

Although it wont help me, this should be looked at because clearly there is something odd going on.
Laughable
And a little later - should I get my dial up modem connected? I may be needing it.

Is there any significance in the fact that you are not showing any packet loss graphs?
