Your router is in sync at 74mbps which is within the estimates that our suppliers hold for your line. There is no banding or restrictions applies to your speed. As for G.INP, I don't believe this is something we can see.

Re: line check please

hi gandalf

thanks for running the test m8

i see this

Downstream Rate Assessment Reasonable

why is it reasonable and the upstream is very good?

it used to sync at full speed and my max attainable rate was alot higher than what it shows now so whats the cause of the max attainable rate and the downstream rate being reasonable ?

 also i know the line is in what they say it should be be but thats how they get around fixing any faults its a big margin just cause its ok in what they say it should be between doesnt mean theres no faults and does that mean we should be happy with what we get when i know the line is capable of more as when the engineer came here he showed me what the max attainable was it does get my goat up as basically they say your line is ok because its in between 50 and 80 meg thats a big difference thats how they get away with it

 

thanks

Ah, iangilf ,  well the main point of the forums - as I see it - is for Plus Net customers to discuss topics of interest and concern and to try to find answers to problems with the various services Plus Net provide, using  their own mutual help and advice. It so happens that some Plus Net staff also lurk in the forums and sometimes they pick up customers problems and provide answers - and even fixes! Sometimes they ask customers to identify themselves by Private Message and sometimes they seem to know who customers are anyway!



It's often assumed that the forums are there just  to raise compliants and provide an opportunity to fix  problems, but as far as I understand it as the forums are maintained and manged by customers, so that's not the primary purpose. The fact that Plus Net employees monitor the forums and respond is just a bonus and works alongside the official support pages

It could be due to anything from internal wiring to the line.

Line tests aren't identifying the cause of the 6mbps speed drop.

Description GEA service test completed and no fault found .
Voice Line Test Result Pass

 

 also i know the line is in what they say it should be be but thats how they get around fixing any faults its a big margin just cause its ok in what they say it should be between doesnt mean theres no faults and does that mean we should be happy with what we get when i know the line is capable of more as when the engineer came here he showed me what the max attainable was it does get my goat up as basically they say your line is ok because its in between 50 and 80 meg thats a big difference thats how they get away with it

Whilst I appreciate the frustration caused, due to how the broadband network works, our suppliers can't guarantee every line to have a perfect speed. In my opinion, you shouldn't feel a difference in performance between 74mbps and 80mbps.

Re: line check please

@iangilf Well you did ask what was the point of the forums and @runhare gave you an excellent descriptive answer so I am not impressed by your rather snooty response, how can a customer answer your questions? The forums are NOT an official support channel.

Re: line check please

could it be the box on the wall when the engineer came here he had to use a master socket 5c back plate and a mk4 face plate would that make any difference mixing up the phone socket?

 

anyone know ?

Re: line check please

Apart from the fact your modem isn’t syncing at 80mbps, are you experiencing any issues with your service?
