Install today :D
Good luck!
:fingers:
I'm sure he'll be pleased when I ask him to change the master. Cash at the ready
All up and running via Fritz. Testing it out with a little download now
Unfortunately they appear to have forgotten that I should be on 80/20 not 40/2
Engineer was great, slipped him a tenner for a couple of beers
The 80/20 setting is done at the cabinet - you should have told the engineer when you saw the sync was capped.
The router shows the profile as 17a, so you should already be on 80/20.
It does look like you have been capped to 40/20, give support a call on Monday if nothing changes over the weekend.

Profile change is done by a few keystrokes from the BTo offices.
Thanks guys. Will be calling my ISP today anyhow to let him know how it's going. I've already mailed him the screeny
Tad disappointed in the up speed, BT wholesale checker reckoned 58/20. The cab is literally just across the road 20m
However he did warn me that the FTTC is not very good in my area

FB. What are your max attainable rates? When I changed to FTTC, I also had a restricted upstream speed which bore no relation to the max attainable speed in the router log (32000) or IP (20). I carried out a factory re-set on my 7390 and everything is now fine. I have max speeds of 100000/32000 and IPs of 77.43/20 on a 80/20 17a profile.

Morning Ardua, check out screeny for my attainable throughput
The engineer did say it was 40/2 before I stuck the Fritz on it so I don't think a factory reset is going to cure it

I had much the same. The account page matched what was on the engineer's meter. A BT Speedtest also showed that IP profiles were as I would have expected. If I remember correctly after DSL training, the upstream speed shown in the log was about 50% of what I would have expected. Turning the router off overnight changed nothing. It was only after a factory reset that the upstream connected at the correct rate after a period of DSL training. It may of course just have been a coincidence.
He's going to sort out the upload to 10 on Monday, another BT cockup as he would have never asked them to stick me on 2. If that then doesn't work I will try the factory reset. Don't want to mess with it too much
Then when that's sorted I will probably stick with the 40/10 as I'm on an unlimited, low contention non throttled or shaped business connection. I've promised not to hammer it :angel:

OK - I thought that you were on 40/10.

There's a couple different caps ISP's have.
40/2
40/20
80/10
80/20
It does look like you are on 40/2 capped profile.
If you are only 20m away from the cab you should get full 80/20 speeds (if you've signed up for that).
But if you can't get full speeds on that distance then BT must take your phone line around your area a few times before connecting to the cab :laugh:
58/20 is speeds for a line roughly 500-550m away from the cab.
It was originally supposed to be 80/20
Once the up speed get sorted to 10, then that'll be fine for me. As said, I'm on a low contention, non traffic shaped business connection
George says that if he sticks me on 80/20 then I will be subject to traffic shaping etc, you can't really let a domestic customer lose on an 80/20 business connection :no: So it probably evens things out
Thought that I would take a look at George's home broadband packages. I clicked on the link and I immediately found myself faced with a certificate issue. Must be my week for them. Not 'Go Daddy' this time! No traffic shaping on 80/20 with IDNet: my connection purrs away happily at 76/17 (actual speeds) throughout the day. My F!B has also remained connected for over 3 weeks: it likes a downstream SNR of 12. ;D
PS I had never heard of 'Go Daddy' until earlier this week. I was watching a 20/20 match at the Rosebowl on TV earlier today, and 'Go Daddy' hoardings were all over the place.
PPS Now if AVM would just sort out CLID and the ghost calls........... ???
I'm going to have to ask, what on earth is "Go Daddy"
I've already had a few "Internet connection Cleared"

There you go, corrected it for you ;D

I don't have any caps either on the 40/2/10 :thumb:
Getting results from Speedtest.net ranging from 3.5-36 Don't think the constant rain is helping either
My ISP did tell me it wasn't very good in my area, looks like he was right

I thought that there was a minimum speed for FTTC? Thunderstorms caused a massive increase in errors but my speed hardly ever changes.
I was pre warned Ardua. I'm quite happy to let it do it's own thing
OK.
If the speed is fluctuating but your sync isn't, then it looks like exchange congestion or congestion at your ISP.
First option is most likely Lance. BT have had a lot of problems in this area lately. George reckons I'm one of very few on this connection
