I got the generic email about broadband speed on Monday.
With my connection issues sorted (OR engineer had not connected VDSL service to my line) I had to wait a few days for my connection speed to claw its way up to, then past the old ADSL speeds. It seemed that it had stabilized at 12.5Mbps, and the margin was hovering in the 4-5 range.
So I was rather surprised to see that plusnet think I am connected at 37Mbps. Any idea why such a figure appeared in my inbox?
As a happy ending to this story, the zyxel8924 I got from eBay turned up, and after setting it up, it promptly synched at 20Mbps, 10% above the top end of my predicted speed range, so the plusnet hub was taken out back and put out of its misery.
