@AMC1973 Nowhere have you indicated what your guaranteed minimum download is, and your download is correct when compared with the profile quoted on that test report - you have to allow for overheads.

OK - you obviously are suffering somewhere, but I don't know why or where at the moment. Is it possible to post the details of the Help Desk tab on you router, but ensure you remove/obscure any personal information. This may help a little more, but please note I am not an FTTC expert, and there are only limited ways to influence the system, even at ISP level.

The only thing that stand out to me there is your D/S SNR figure - unless FTTC operates differently to ADSL, that suggests DLM has upped it to correct some line fault - my 'target' margin (on ADSL) is 6dB, but varies from 13 to 16 - I live with it as it doesn't bother me, but it does mean I lose 1/1.5MB on my top speed.

Could be banded?
If it helped click the thumb
If it fixed it click 'This fixed my problem'

My thoughts too, @dvorak - but can PN resolve these issues on FTTC as easily as they can on ADSL?

Interesting you mention "banded" there; I've been wondering about that. I believe that's quite common with unstable lines - which I definitely had for the first couple of months.

I would try contacting Plusnet on Monday and ask them to run a KBD check, which will confirm or disprove banding, and also possibly give them an idea of what needs to be done next.
