heehe you guys are lovely- thanks for the welcome.. can't believe I am here

Rik · Mar 13, 2008, 18:59:51

Feel sorry for BPP (David), Diss. He travelled the same road as you, but BT & Tiscali put every obstacle they could in his path - I think it was about a month in all before IDNet could get him connected.

It seems with those two companies, it really can be pot luck!

Rik · Mar 13, 2008, 19:04:22

In David's case it was all bad luck.

Glad to hear you've arrived OK, Diss!

Finally got the BT speed test to work Rik. Here are my results

QuoteIP profile for your line is - 2000 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 7616 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1874 kbps

Means nothing to me

Hi Diss

You're probably on an interleaved line, to judge by the sync speed, but your profile should be 6500. I think it was Thursday you migrated? If so, give it till Wednesday, then give IDNet a call if the profile hasn't lifted. It's very common, unfortunately, for the initially assigned 2000 profile to 'stick' with migrations. Otherwise, your throughout is about right for the profile you do have, so it's looking good.

As Rik says, the profile should clear by Wednesday; stuck profiles are very common following migrations, so nothing to worry about. Another thing to mention is that your line might be good enough to have interleaving switched off, which would potentially give you a slightly higher sync and profile. But it might not be worth potentially losing stability.
