Confusion all round? (especially me!)
BT speedtest indicates IP profile 61.8Mbps download with 20Mbps upstream, approx 500m from cabinet. Fairly typical of an 80/20 profile.
Achieved 50.69 Mbps (range 43.26 to 61.8).
As I understand it PN 40/20 fibre was a capped variant of BT 80/20; does anybody know how BT 55/10 is achieved? Is it known if PN 55/10 is to be provided in the same way?
tbb, uswitch, which and ookla all give test results in the range 51-54 downstream and 9.3-10.4 Mbps, but latency is all over the place as it often is at this time with pings in the range 13-40+ ms.
At least I still have a working broadband. Good night!

55/10 is a standard OpenReach product - it's not a capped version of a product with higher sync like the Plusnet 40/20 - those are the actual maximum sync speeds.

The 40/20 > 55/10 is largely a software change at this point so don't expect much movement on the actual Wholesale product you're provisioned on just yet.
Reading back through the thread, there's clearly been some confusion so sorry about that.

How quickly does it usually take for a delta report to come through from Wholesale?
I've tried PPPoE disconnect and turning off modem, but my 'current line speed' still reports 40Mb on the PN portal.

What's going on?
Yesterday evening, following a router reboot, I appeared to be on 55/10.
This morning, back to 40/10. Reboot didn't change it.
Please fix, Plusnet!

The fact that the portal says 40mbps won't necessarily be limiting your speed.

Is there any difference in what we will see regarding these issues depending on whether we've been moved to the new network. I'm puzzled as to why I'm still seeing the 20M upload when others are not.

The portal still says 40 for me. Speed tests showing ~49/10, which is close to my IP Profile of 51 and my sync speed of 55/19.

For upload it /should/ be the same. Bit puzzled as to why yours isn't TBH. I've a suspicion some on the new network may not be seeing any limiting at all on the down, but ensuring those who are being limited are getting what they should is priority at present.

Last night I did a copy and paste of my on line chat with a PN member of staff, strange that PN have removed it this morning, maybe because the chat contained the truth about what is happening. Strange?? I think not

It was removed by the moderators (customers, not staff) because it broke forum rules and contained staff names all through it.
The relevant part is here: still https://community.plus.net/t5/Fibre-Broadband/Is-this-a-mistake/m-p/1355483#M43291

Due to log in problems I'm also posted as OLDJACK1...Plusnet were swift to downgrade the upload speed but very tardy to upgrade the download speed, some members have had success with the changes but others, like myself, are just left wondering whats going on. My past experience with Plusnet and problems has always been positive and a solution reached. This time no feedback, if this carries on then no doubt it will reach the magazines and become a setback to Plusnet. Just tell us what's happening or when it will happen.
