FTCC : Just connected this morning

HI ,
BT have come and gone Smiley
i did a speed test ( used a couple of different sites ) and none should major increase , was bouncing around the 7 mark .,., not even into the 10's let alone near 40???
uploads had gone up by about x3 .. so it shows it working.
BT man showed me a text on his phone saying that i had 40mb at the modem .. and then said its more than likley my PC etc and then ran off Smiley
is this normal , anything for me to check. tried wireless ,and wired .. still the same , tried windows , mac still the same.
web surfing does feel faster ... but just the speed tests are not showing it ?
does feel low when you pay the extra, but got nothing to prove to yourself that somthing is better
cheers
Matt

Re: Just connected this morning

Your speed will likely still be limited by your ADSL profile.  Check out this link and post your "Current Line Speed".  Also run a BT Speedtester and post up the results of that.
Your profile will uplift automatically in due course, or a friendly Plusnet bod might be able to poke it.

Re: FTCC : Just connected this morning

Mine was installed at 7am (first call) took until 5pm for the profile to be changed and it gradually increased thereafter...
You'll be limited by your IP profile, i guess PN take their "days installs" and nudge over the profiles before knocking off.... Smiley Patience young padawan, 40meg is coming Smiley  Grin

The estimate is for ADSL.  They don't change it when you go to fibre. See this thread.
