I believe i complete a 10 day trial period which should give me an idea of what my connection speeds are likely to be (Please correct me if i'm wrong), My question is do Plus Net offer profile changes in order to obtain better speeds or not ?.
After just 2 days I'm currently hitting around 7mb's which I'm more than happy with but after a few tweeks with the previous provider StalkStalk we managed to get between 10-14mbs, I'm in no rush but I'm a curious so and so.
May i also add the service received here and over the phone by plusnet has so far been excellent.
Cheers
Alex

I'd have a look at the sync speed your router connects as a good indicator of the max speed.
There are a few things PN can do help you go faster, but each has a possible risk, affecting either ping times or stability. Two examples are:
1) Interleaving - turning it on may get you going faster, but will increase ping times, which may have an impact with online gaming.
2) Signal to Noise minimum threshold - setting this too low, could cause instability.
Another thing for you to check through the router is that you're connecting with ADSL2+, rather than ADSL. The later will have a maximum of 8Mbits, and result in slower speeds.

according to the nice man i talked to at plus-net yesterday, When i queried a few things he advised i was on up to 8mb, So I'm guessing I'm on ADSL my exchange does have ADSL2+ enabled.
I assume I need to complete my ''training period'' before i can request this to be changed ?.

Point two were you on LLU with stalk stalk as that is where they use their own switch gear in the exchange and it is similar to ADSL2

I'm at the Illingworth MYHAL exchange and it does say its ADSL+2 enabled so i dont suppose i'll have any issues switching over should i wish to do so, Would just like the best speeds possible it's unlikely we will have fibre installed anytime soon.

http://community.plus.net/21cn-exchange-availability/
Which does show a ''Y'' which i assumed ment that it was available with ''Y'' meaning ''Yes......
I know an LLU is quicker and our exchange was unbundled by StalkStalk last year, But their customer service is awful and their every increasing prices are a turn off, Even if i can get anywhere near 13+ mbs, I just want the fatest speed available on my line which i assume will be less since I'm now using lesser equipment if that makes sence.

Thanks for you help thus far
