The relevant banded profile is 27Mb - 54Mb as given here http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=12535.msg236760#msg236760 so it looks as though the speed isn't restricted by banding

Also, in case you missed it, Chris posted the sync speed in reply #1. That said, this is an ECI cab, we don't know if G.INP has actually been applied here, but we do know what a hash BT have made of G.INP implementation on ECI equipment. The sync speed mentioned is so close to the banded speed of 49Mbps, we don't know what effect G.INP may have had on the speed had it been previously banded to 49Mbps.
It's that close, it's worth double checking. I'm surprised that this didn't occur to you.
Edit: The Library article on FTTC DLM contains the same banding details and other useful information.

If however it has been rolled out then the IP / speed ratio is 1.0342 approx which gives a line speed of 50.27 so still higher than than the top of the banded profile you refer to

Quote from: Anotherone However, you're always better referring to Plusnet's own Library article on Banding. The relevant speed band is actually 25Mbps-49Mbps.
25Mbps-49Mbps doesn't exist anymore (not since December 2014) - the profile is now 0.128k-49Mbps as the lower limits were removed.
Quote from: Oldjim It appears very likely that G.INP has not yet been rolled out with an ECL Cab http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,15283.735.html hence my statement and I am not aware of any "hash" in rolling out to ECL Cabs as opposed to rolling out on Huawei Cabs where the modem is ECL
As far as I understand, It's being held back until OR implement their major DLM redesign in Jan 2016. It's definitely not been rolled out yet though.

A major DLM redesign is due to be implemented at the end of Jan, which will probably mean most existing FTTC DLM information is redundant.
In terms of the OP, it would be good to get his modem stats (but he will need to buy a new modem for this )

Quote from: Anotherone you're are forgetting the number of people that have reported sudden drops in speed.
you make a couple of great point. (above inparticular) As, I too have noticed the steady drumbeat of discontent users with PN speeds dropping off across several BBand forums.
Ok all this info is great.. What do you guys suggest is the best profile band to be placed on for my line
2 0.128M-80M Downstream, Interleaving Off - 0.128M-20M Upstream, Interleaving Off 2013-05-15T10:00:00
Open Profile?
I mean what can be done and what should be done as I am sure if left with PN they will just leave me where I am unless I start to kick up a fuss.
Also I see that FTTP on Demand 330 30 -- Available <==
I have checked the price list from BTO how do I check which Band I am in regarding the distance not the IP Profile banding. So, to better work out the costs I will be likely to face IF i can find an ISP apart from BT who can install a FTTH connection.
I guestimate about £750 install + £3500 Distance plus £1100 yearly charge is that about correct?
It seems the only way to get true Fibre speeds is for full fat fibre line to my home. I will be more than happy to pay for this myself, for a couple of grand I can get 330/30 or could a bonded VDSL2 line solution be a better approach.?
I know BTO are trialling new methods for faster FTTC speeds anytime soon. but I can see that FTTP is available on my exchange/cab and this would save a whole host of problems with line speeds which I will fully utilize.
I would love to know your suggestions guys.
FYI: I do have a Huawei 612 *Unlocked* modem (I use the BTO supplied ECI modem atm) but last thing I want to do is to disrupt any DLM since the IP Profile changes I requested the past few days.
Thanks

Also, IDK if this would be any good but Is there a way to get forced onto a faster (closer located PN gateway) geographically to my home location?

All the Gateways are in London, and in any event have no effect whatsoever on your connection speed. That is purely determined by your distance from the Cab, the quality of your line and any local electronic/electrical environment that might cause interference to your connection. That will also include cross-talk from other lines.

This is the highest profile - but it's not something someone can manually place you on (DLM is an automatic process, without human intervention).
The other thing to remember is that your line is rate adaptive and will go as fast as it can to meet a target SNr of 6dB. This has far more influence over the connection speed of your line than the DLM speed band.

BT Wholesale (who supply most ISPs in the UK - except for LLU ones), are not currently selling FTTPoD. Also, remember you're looking at Openreach's wholesale cost to ISPs and this doesn't include the ISP element (their bandwidth cost).

And yeah the price quoted was a "guestimation" as you said from the wholesale price list. Obvious markup on top from ISP costs too.
Also, Can you drop my SnR to something lower like 3db with vdsl connections profiles to help DLM?
