Have posted this on my isp`s forum but i`d probably get a quicker response from you guys!
Well,sorta long-ish story.
Ages ago i found out that my line was quite a bit slower due to the fact that i run through 2 cabs before getting to the exchange,so i took that on the chin and wished for fiber (fat chance at my exchange!).
But last week after running the BT wholesale checker it was giving me results showing that i should be getting over 2meg more than i currently was,so rang up PN and a engineer visit was booked....But through having to cancel it the previous evening,even tho he turned up he wasn`t permitted to access the cab.
Well,eventually another engineer was arranged for this morning (really nice and helpfull chap actually) and he did his online checks to see if there was spare capacity to send me through 1 cab,computer said no,but he went and had a looksee anyway.......low and behold,he found a line in the 2nd hundred he checked!
So,after running his tests to check line quality,synced up the router and now,from old 2 cab setup of just over 5,000,i`m now on 1 cab at 16,408!!
Downstream att down from 45.5 to 25,so a very happy chappy here,but the reason for the post is where the new sync is SUCH a jump from previous,i take it there`ll be a delay before everything catches up with things as the DL speed is stuck @ 4.4meg tho the new profile is around 14.
