Upstream banded profile

[#1]

My modem is reporting an upstream sync speed of 8.823 Mbps.
Doing lots of different speed tests (all wired), it seems to max out around the 7.1 Mbps mark.
If I understand correctly, my speed should be in the region of 96.79% of the sync speed, which would be around 8.53 Mbps.
I did notice that there are upstream banded profiles for FTTC, and one of these is 3.6M to 7.2M.
Would someone from Plusnet be able to confirm if I am on that banded upstream profile please?
Other question - will DLM eventually increase this profile to match the sync speed?
Thanks for any replies.

Your currently on a open profile so DLM isn't the cause of the issue.
Your profile is "0.128M-80M Downstream, Interleaving Low - 0.128M-20M Upstream, Interleaving On"
I think the upload throughput might be a bit lower due to interleaving being on but it shouldn't cause any major issues.

Thanks for the prompt reply Matthew. That's fine, I just wanted to make sure. The upstream isn't causing me any issues but curiosity got the better of me.

Thats about right if you look at mine, I get a slightly better upstream if I force my downstream to 28mbps, then I get about 6.5mbps upstream but I prefer the faster downstream in all honesty.
I think those figures are correct!

Capped DS 40960X96.79=39645 38.71 I get 37.50
Upstream  6836x96.79=6616  6.4  I get  5.80[/tt]

Thanks 11110_110
Out of curiosity, how do you 'force' your downstream speed?

Without going into to much detail, I can use another type of cable which will lower if for me

I think I understand but will say nothing else on the matter
