80Mbps FTTC

What happens if you join, and then don't want to continue once the cost is announced?  Is there an easy way back?

I'm sure you would be profiled to 40/10 again.. As if I'm correct, its just a profile change to allow 80/20.

[psp83]

Just spoke to Brian on the phone.

My upgrade to 80/20 has been placed and Brian confirmed that if you don't want 80/20 when BT puts it live you can just change back down to 40/10 - support will put a request into BT to change your profile.

[Bill]

Brian has advised that the change should happen at midnight tomorrow.

Just had an email from Brian, more or less  the same except that completion is due by midnight, not at midnight.

Makes sense.

Brian said the same on the phone, he said I might wake up in the morning and find out its done.

Bye bye bandwidth 

[Simon]

We will expect you to be posting at double speed too. 

[Glenn]

I'll post the same speed, just double the waffle

[Simon]

A double waffle is always worthwhile.

Currently managing a slightly improved 39/13 compared to a previous 37/8. Wondering if I'll get any higher than this within the next 24 hours.

[psp83]

Same here, Got a drop in sync just after midnight, the only thing that has changed at the moment is upstream..

speedtester.bt.com still gives the same profiles though, 38710 / 10000



I will give it a day or so to see what happens.

[Glenn]

That ties in with what I'm seeing too.




Download speedachieved during the test was - 31928 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 16000-34275 Kbps .
Additional Information:
IP Profile for your line is -34275 Kbps

Upload speed achieved during the test was - 14414 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 10000 Kbps

[psp83]

That ties in with what I'm seeing too.

Are you seeing any improvement on downstream yet? I've seen maybe 500k improvement so far.

Hopefully it will improve over the next day or so.

[Steve]

I guess this involves a line reset? Interested to see what happens to interleave and ping times over the next few days.

Think so, BT reset my line at 8:35am and now I have no connection 

Support are looking into it..

[Bill]

 



Sems to have happened around 5am- brief loss of connection. Not bad for about 400 metres from the cabinet.

Impresssive

Nice. Hopefully I will see the same once my connection is working again.

The reset of the line this morning has caused me an auth problem with IDnet  I swear BT hates me!

[Bill]

I swear BT hates me!

Don't take it personally, BT hates everybody

[Bill]

Managed to persuade a BT speedtest to run: profile is 69897Kbps up, 20000Kbps down.

[joe]

Successful upgrade

before:-



after:-



I note drop in SNR (of course) and interleaving off (now 1 and 1, previously 19 and 1). Bit loading looks dramatically different.

Nice Joe!!

[davidthornton]

Just managed

[sof2er]

It seems my upload is around 16 Mb/s but the download is still around 36~ Mbps. BT Speedtester indicates a 77435k profile for downstream, not sure what's going wrong here? All tests are carried out using direct ethernet into modem (PPPoE connection).

I wonder if it has anything to do with the modem itself?

[davidthornton]

I've not managed a great speedtest out of the BT speedtester site so I have had to use various servers at speedtest.net. I've attached a .png displaying my maximum upload speed so far. I've not yet flashed my modem to get access to the stats but might look to do it soon.

[psp83]

Finally got my connection working today :





Hope it stays working as well.

[Glenn]

I asked about my download speed this morning, it has barely changed from the 40/10 profile, The line test failed on the line, so it turns out I need a BT visit which support are arranging.
