BT Profiling problem - Yet again...

Every couple of months my download speeds are gradually reduced to a crawl. Each time I report this it seems to take plusnet up to a week to pass the problem across to BT for resolution, and then when an engineer eventually turns up, they may/may not resolve the problem correctly. I end up briefing the engineer as to what the problem is. Each time, the line has slowed down due to automatic profiling. I am supposedly on an unlimited package, which has performed to 60MB. Now it is at 34MB (again). Why do I have to keep experiencing this repeated problem? Anyone else? Or is there a way I can resolve this myself without having to wait for plusnet and bt fault processes?

Your words fill me with dread. Capacity issues doesnt sound like something that is going to be fixed quick. Given the data of the thread with regards capacity issues in this forum, 24th June 2015, will it be possible to cancel my contract with Plusnet if it is not possible to deliver the "Unlimited" service I signed up for. The service is inoperable today. Do I get a refund for my payment for not receiving my Unlimited service today?

Oh they don't usually take that long. A week or so perhaps. A month rarely.

Probably but who are you going to go with? Most likely the capacity problem is your exchange backhaul so it will be impacting any ISP that uses BT's wholesale service. You'd have to switch to an LLUo (Eg; Talk Talk, Sky) to get round it and even they sometimes miscalculate their backhaul capacity.

Backhaul capacity can be tricky to manage but BT are usually pretty good at it. In most cases it's not a physical limitation. They often just need to reconfigure a network switch or perhaps light up another fibre both of which can (I'd guess) be done by anyone sitting at a keyboard in your regional control centre. In some cases they might need to send someone out to install some more fibre termination equipment but that isn't difficult. Only rarely do they actually need to feed more fibre to an exchange. Best thing is just to be patient and wait a while. You'll probably be back up to full speed before the end of the month.

We'll get this sorted as soon as we can.
So how long will I have to wait? I have had no feedback/contact from the faults team yet?
