Im a little confused over speeds etc, and as with most things that i dont htink are working right, im itching to have a faff around with things.
First a little background..
I requested an upgrade/re grade to ADSL2, this appeared to happen and everythig was OK(ish) shortly after this my router would no connect to the internet, after various tests an engineer from BT openrach came round, and said the problem was the modem ( despite firring a new master socket - replacing an anceint BT plug and small rectangular box )
Shortly after this visit everythuing came back on again.
After speaking with plusnet they sent me a new router ( TG582n) that is now connected and running.
However the connection stats saay this
(Plusnet memebr centre )
Speed test.net is roughly at this level.
my router stats say this
Are those speds normal?
will they improve over time from 2.5mb to somewhere in the estimate (8.5-19mb)?
do i need to try and improve the atenuation/internal wiring to get a better signal to the router?

Something is wrong, can you run a BT speed test to see what their profile is for your line.

Your router is connecting at 13755kbps. So the best practical speed you could achieve (your IP Profile) should be 12.1 Mbps. Unfortunately as a result of your initial problems Plusnet are restricting your speed to something much less than this. They don't really mean to do this but their system cannot keep up. If you call Plusnet tech. support and explain I think they can manually raise your profile to the 12.1 Mbps it should be.

your current line speed and the bt profile aren't matched which is the problem, you should be able to give them a call and get it resolved over the phone.

Hi pint,
I've bumped your profile according to your sync rate so you should now see the correct speeds.
