The line seems to have been running OK for the last couple of weeks, but no sign of the speed increasing or the SNR margin dropping. I got a call back from Plus.net asking how the connection had been, I said the speed wasn't great and if there was anything else that could be done, I suggested the 3dB SNRM option. The guy on the phone didn't have a clue and made something up about that only applying to ADSL lines and not fibre lines like I am on
He said as I was getting above the minimum speed that there's pretty much nothing else they will do
I rebooted the modem at the weekend and the speed dropped a bit to 57.5Mbps, which is frustratingly just above what they guarantee (57.3Mbps).
