Title: Plusnet stuck profile
Post by: boozy on August 20, 2019, 12:19:16 AM
I've recently noticed that my PlusNet line would not download any faster than 20Mbps while the line was in sync at 40Mbps.  I reported it and was told the profile was stuck but has now been fixed.

Single connection downloads are still stuck at 20Mbps but a multi connection reaches 35Mbps now.  Is this just PlusNet "traffic management" or has something been missed in the fix?

That’s me complaining :). I think it’s been restricted all year - although I only run a speed test when I change something which could affect it, so who knows.

For those in the same position.  PlusNet reset their profile then a full resync restored multithreaded speeds (single threaded remained at exactly the same restricted speed).  A further resync, in my case 24 hours later, and everything is running at full speed.
