help with stats. very slow connection. 130 kbps.

been with plusnet just over a month, what a regretable experience. my speed is consistantly 130 kbps. i have trouble downloading a standard web page. if it has more than a couple of jpegs i am sunk, i have had quicker dial-up.
some of you on these forums complain about 1 or 2 megs. luxury!
i am getting nowhere with the techies. i am answering the same questions day in day out, getting conflicting advice. if the naff advice is mirrored in the management and CEO god help us all.
i was promised a free months usage for the grief, the money is still flowing out of my bank account, faster than the information flowing into my computer. no sign of a freebie. i would be happy paying for a decent service. Cry

Re: slow speed,slow to none response.

@cypeman
Copy/paste of duplicate responses to different topics (neither of which are topics started by yourself) is going to get you in to trouble with the moderators!
http://community.plus.net/forum/index.php/topic,81175.msg668603.html#msg668603
If you'd like some help I suggest you start your own topic in the broadband speed forum giving some basic information like the stats reported by your router.

Re: help with stats. very slow connection. 130 kbps.

When you've had a problem on the line BT set your IP Profile way, way down. After the problem is fixed they need you to be connected consistently at a higher speed before they raise the IP Profile - this can take up to three days.
Keep an eye on the router stats for any changes in the sync speed or for the Uptime to indicate that you've had a disconnection which would indicate you still have a problem.
You can check what your current IP Profile is by running the BT speed test. If your current line speed reported on the portal doesn't rise to match the IP Profile within 12 hours you need to contact support.

Re: help with stats. very slow connection. 130 kbps.

It looks like your profile increased on the 7th and then upped on our side shortly after, that's why you're now seeing the higher speeds coming through. Hopefully you'll stay stable and continue getting good speeds.
