I have been in my training peroid for 7 days now, and have noticed no increase in download rates, still stuck at 120kb/s download rate...

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:
IP profile for your line is - 1000 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 7296 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 928 kbps

Should my IP profile have updated by now? My router has been constantly syncing between high 6800 and 7600 but the BRAS profile has not changed...

Any thoughts?

Thanks, I had read elsewhere that people had seen the change within the first 3 days... Got me a little worried..

Thanks Tolien, thats waht i thought, will give it till the 10 days are up and see what happens....Is there any way to force the BRAS profile to update if it has got stuck? Or is it something the ISP in this case plus.net would do?

Just an update,

I ran BT's speedtest yesterday 10th day and the IP Profile has changed to 5000Kb/s which is all good, but my download speeds have gone from 120 Kb/s download rate to a meer 130Kb/s download rate, what else could be effecting this? Running the speedtests they seem to suggest i am hovering slightly above the 1MB line download speed...

This is a little annoying but at least my profile has updated!! after 10days!!!!!

Any ideas? or a link to a known high speed download? Could be plus.net throttleing me or soemthing?

Just tested it, cant seem to get more than 130Kb/s 10 more that I used to! Woot!
Will give it until tomorrow and then speak to plus.net and see whats happening....Getting good syncing no drops or very few...And my BRAS profile has updated...but download speed still seems capped somewhere!

Just run BT Speedtest and here are the most uptodate results:

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:
IP profile for your line is - 6500 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 7488 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 958 kbps

Anything seem wrong at all, seems my bras profile has gone from 5000 last night to 6500 now, I exceeded my peak time allowance by a couple of hundred megs a couple of days ago, so the restictions my be causing this?

Just done that still the same speed just above a 1mb service....

Another Update:

Finally my BRAS profile changed to 5500KB/s and during non peak speedtests etc are fine as is my connection (stable).
This morning
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:
IP profile for your line is - 5500 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 7424 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 4794 kbps

Everything is fine during the daytime but at night I have a poor download speed and my connection keeps dropping. And doesnt seem to stabalise. I have noticed people mentioning daytime sync rates and evening rates, granted my evening rate is a little slower around the 7000 rate rather than high 7000's. but my concern is why does my line keep dropping!! Its really annoying, latency /ping times are still ok though...Any thoughts? Should my router / exchange start autmatically syncing at a lot lower rate at night to compensate?(This i would not mind)>?

I have raised a support ticket with them...See what happens....Seems the test was inconclusive that they ran....Possibly because of all the disconnects i keep getting in peak time!
