This is my 'capped to 10Mbps' Upload results.

Whether you particular line is banded is another issue.

Re: Plusnet does have traffic management throttling speed

Hi @goldenfibre
What software are you using to measure the speeds and tabulate them?
It is difficult to see from the table, is there a speed range in each download and upload cell?
How does the speedtest method manage bandwidth being used by other apps and users of the internet connection?
Regards

Re: Plusnet does have traffic management throttling speed

@goldenfibre 

We don't throttle your speeds and, before you ask, the profile on your account is set to the max at 78000 Wink

Just checked your line and there's no capacity issues on the wholesale infrastructure at the exchange either. 

However line tests are showing "Impairment in copper joint detected most likely in local network" so I'll put my money (Disclaimer: Figure of speech) that's where the issue is. 

If you can raise a fault at faults.plus.net and post back afterwards, we'll be happy to arrange an engineer with you Smiley

Re: Plusnet does have traffic management throttling speed

@RichardB The software I ran this from here: http://startrinity.com/InternetQuality/ContinuousBandwidthTester.aspx

 

There is no one at my house just myself. Running it from router to pc ethernet on both windows 10 and linux still the same as download capped at 69Mbps and upload capped at 10Mbps. All TV, X box, wifi is offline just the pc and to the router.

@Gandalf 

 

No issues here. Maybe the GEA test is old one (outdated) should be ok by now

Re: Plusnet does have traffic management throttling speed

@Gandalf Is the latest GEA Test still the same as before (outdated) or has they release a new one now?

Re: Plusnet does have traffic management throttling speed

@goldenfibre The only bit of a GEA test that's outdated is the "Profile Name". The remainder is current data especially the description part so it's possible that a fault has rectified itself and it's still lingering/may cause intermittent issues.
