BT installed FTTC today and I am getting around 37000 kbps down and 8100 kbps up which seems similar to others on this trial.
The sync on the line did drop for a minute but perhaps that is because the BT engineer is doing other installations from that cabinet.
1. Are sync drops from the modem common?
2. In downloading a file from my browser, the download speed for the file is 500 KB/Sec - why is not much faster? Is it limited by PlusNet?
Thanks PlusNet.
Chris

I don't see how that table relates to my observed web download speed of 512KB/Sec. If I do two file downloads simultaneously from the browser both download at 512KB/Sec.
My account page shows old estimated line speed of 4MB last done in December and a current line speed of 20Mb.
I am on a Plusnet Premium product now, I used to be on Plusnet Pro but with a usage of about 40GB month that was proving expensive.
Regards,
Chris

The number 512 seems to strongly suggest this.
Using FTTC since 2011. Currently on 80/20 Unlimited Fibre Extra.

Just tried a different computer (both are wired internet) and used an FTP client to download from a different site (our company FTPsite). Each connection maxes out at 512 KB/s.
Something is limiting it somewhere, surely?

Chris

Have a look here: http://www.plus.net/support/broadband/products/archive/plusnet_premium_archive.shtml#downloadSpeeds
for the speed restrictions on your product. FTP is restricted to various levels through the day.
