Query re speeds Day 1 onwards with Fibre

I know that the guidance says give it 10 days for the Fibreoptic service to bed in after install.
Had mine done a few hours ago and am basically getting dial-up speed.
What are people's experiences with the first couple of weeks on changing over?
This may help other people who have just changed over.
(Over 2 hours to download a 157mb file? Surely that can't be anything like right).
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Having seen some other posts it's possible your profile hasn't been adjusted properly at the PN end. What does it say your line speed is? Happily that's a quick fix if that's the case

Assuming the IP profile is sensible you should get the Plusnet copy corrected via Chat or phone

That's the problem.
If you click 'Further Diagnostics' on the BT Speedtest that will tell you the BT IP Profile (I expect that's a lot higher but best to check), the Plusnet 'Current line speed' is supposed to be just a little lower than the BT IP Profile.

As soon as you connect to fibre, the VDSL modem will connect as fast as it can. It will run in a wide open profile state for 24 hours. After 24 hours changes will start being made to stabilise the connection if is dropping, such as adding interleaving.
These changes never will make the connection faster. They will always reduce the speed.
The DLM will constantly be monitoring the line after the first 24 hour period to see if changes need to be made.
Nothing special happens in the first 10 days that doesn't happen in the first 100 days.

BT for goodness sake and you would think that they would know better

it may be a deliberate tactic to give them a chance to escape. If the customer says that their new install is running slowly the engineer can tell them to wait ten days and then he's free to get in his van and drive off. It's a bit like the old Are You Being Served joke: "Don't worry if the sleeves are bit long, sir, they'll ride up with wear"
Quote from: AlecR It seems that not even Openreach engineers are fully trained on DLM. This is rather concerning.
