New to PN and already poor speeds from day 1.

Only been on plusnet a few days and already got a fault from day 1.. Only a 19mbit down compared to our old SKY connection which delivered a constant 38 Mb except for the odd slow downs but nothing below 30mb!
Now according to my line stats my modem is showing an attainable rate of 40Mb ( 40376 kbits) And an ACTUAL line rate of 39623 kbits down - 7424kbits up with a SNR of 6.2 so i know the modem is getting a clear signal.
So why am i only getting a measly pathetic 19 Mb. ??
Now on the conenctions settings tab , under the " high speed broadband" link its saying im only getting 21Mb.. Does this info actualyl tell me on what PN have put me on ?? As accorinding to the states i can get the full 38mb. Bearing in mind the cabinet im connect to can recieve 55 Mb im a bit stumped. if all PN can offer is 19mb then i wont hessitate in canceling the service.
Prior to this being on sky there was no hardware changed, so im a bit miffed as to the poor connection speed. - fault already rasied ... still waiting on reply.
Any ideas?
Ive also had 3 ips within the 3 days ive been with PN

what does this show when you run http://speedtest.btwholesale.com/ and do the further diagnostics bit by putting in your phone number.

btw site keeps crashing on upload speedtest for me.. but it said something like...
downstream is on ip Profile 21 - line capable of 39Mb - also highlights in red
Upstream is 5mb - line is capable of 7mb something.. - this is highlighted in green ..
It then said something about download speed not being right and to raise a fault or inform my isp.

It *should* correct itself but hopefully someone from PN will be along shortly and they'll give the profile a prod!

When the ADSL speed issue comes in to play is the estimated speed which is based on the ADSL speed. The current line speed is the one that gets prodded when the correct IP Profile figure hasn't come through from BT.

2. Are you using a wired or wireless connection to the router?
3. If using wireless, please post the results you get using a wired connection.

16Mb (This may vary between 14.5Mb and 18.5Mb) - Checked on 2015-05-08 14:56:56
Current line speed:
21 Mb
The whole house is WIRED ( Asus AC66U ) , My setup hasnt changed from being with SKY previously and i got a constant 38Mb with them
The links in my previous post is my current line speed!
If The bt website is showing that the Ip profile for my line is 35mb then why on earth have PN put me on a 21 Mb adsl profile! when the max speed we can get here on adsl2 is only 8 MB

However the guy i was speaking to did say within the hour it will be sorted! - 2 hours later still waiting.. Dont really know how long it takes to be in effect really - but im sure its pretty near instant.
Im also surprised a PN member hasnt commented or looked into it either tbh.
Knew i shouldnt of come to PN and stayed with Sky.

Quote from: pwatson It looks like the Plusnet systems have set your line profile based on an ADSL estimate rather than the FTTC figure.
Quote from: jelv That's rubbish!

Keyholder - Glad to hear all is now well
Jelv - Apology forthcoming?
