Throughput in the real world
Sync 16115 Plusnet IP 14M - _actual_ performance ?? 2.7Mbps
So what was the point of ADSL2+ again, exactly ?

which for a 4200 profile is only a bit low
No problem here...

If that test was run over a wireless connection you need to try wired.
Do you get that speed all day or just at peak times?

My real speed now seems to be hovering between 9M and 10M download - it's now 11:50pm.
So, not much point in having an ADSL2+ connection when the network is the bottleneck, is there ? And when the network isn't the bottleneck, then misconfigured 'Profiles' often are.

if using wireless was also a major factor in reducing effective IP throughput, then the entire surfing population has a serious problem, as it is doubtless the preferred method of connection in preference to a CAT5 cable these days.
The problem with offering such advice to account for a drop in IP throughput from 14M to 2.7M is that it can be misinterpreted as Pro-ISP FUD. In reality, modern G and N wireless links are surely highly unlikely to account for such a drop ?

That looks like exchange contention.
Wireless can give that sort of drop for various reasons including conflict with a nearby network on the same channel.

Hi disfroot,
If you seem to be getting slower speeds at different times of the day then I would suggest raising a fault so this can be investigated further. If it turns out to be VP related it has been know for people to be moved onto different VPs.
