As of today I find that I am locked down to 1.5Mbs upload
Am I correct in thinking FTTC trialers retained the original upload speed?
PS I have applied for the 80/20 trial. It will be interesting to see what PN charge on this compared to BT Infinity.

I'm not sure if that has changed since as I've seen posts where people were asking this about moving and they kept the existing trial speeds.

I've just done some checks and can confirm that you're still provisioned on the up to 10Mb speeds and that your fibre modem is in sync at that speed. There's no profiles on our systems that can slow this down, are you still experiencing the slow upload and if so does powering down the router for 5 - 10 minutes or so then powering it back up make any difference?

For an additional £2 per month you can choose to increase just the upload speed to 10Mbps on the two 40Mbps options

Anyway, after a lot of checking cables, NICs etc I find the my upload speed on my old XP Prof box is still ca 8Mbs but on my shiny new Win7 64 bit box it is only 1.6Mbs. Further checks with a Win7 32bit laptop gives the same result. Disabling the sw firewall on the win 7 machines increases my upload speeds to those I would expect ie 8Mbs
During this my profile has been changed to the trial 80/20 but the upload speed is still throttled by the win7/fw combination. Clearly it is not a good idea to run without a firewall and so I have taken this up with the supplier GFI Software. Their support is good so I am hopeful of a resolution.
I post all this in case anyone else has unexplained speed issues.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

Anyway, back to my problem. I have been in touch with GFI is the US and they are treating this seriously but it is going to require developer work to get a patch sorted. I must compliment them on the speed of their response and that they are treating this seriously.
I wonder how many of the well know vendors would have picked up this sort of issue? It would be interesting to know if any other FTTC/FTTP users have seen a similar problem with other brands of security software. By the way I find the speed test site speed test.net much more convenient than the BT test site.

Quote from: Merlin I have moved on since my post earlier today, turning off web filtering in GFI while leaving the main firwall enabled provides a temporary fix. I am in contact with GFI over the issues. I posted this in case others have similar problems either with GFI or other firewalls.
I have had the same problem with GFI (Vipre) when using Windows Vista. Also notice that it's really slow getting in to the Vipre control interface 2-3 minutes !!!
I raised this as a problem with them in November last year and they still haven't fixed it...
It's GFI ticket number GFI-111130-463410 if you want to confirm with them that other people are suffering this problem.
