About 20 hours ago DLM intervened on my line and removed that cap so I now sync at 63364kbps :o I had a few severe spikes of ES over the previous couple of days and a couple of re-syncs by DLM but to see the speed increase this time after some3.5 years capped is frankly welcome but also flabbergasting! I am still interleaved though!

Hmm, perhaps caps aren't permanent after all. 3.5 years is a long time for DLM to decide you don't need it though!
;D
-
Maybe they have changed how DLM works ?
-
I could believe they changed/fixed it, as around 12-15 months ago I got BTOR involved (TalkTalk were not interested)and they could not explain why I was capped, as soon as they removed it DLM slapped it back on! Also remember I am on an ECI cabinet.

Is there any possibility the ES spikes and re-synchs might have been the result of incidental engineering works that, upon completion, have triggered a reset?

Possible I suppose but I have no evidence.

what was you capped at as am curious how much % speed you gained with all the fuss :)
-
He was capped at 60 Mbps IIRC, but it's now how much he's gained, it's how long it's taken.
-
Quite right, having been capped for around 3.5 years and even BTOR not knowing why or being able to remove it for more than a few hours it has now happened as if by magic ;) Yes I was capped at 59998kbps and ow syncing at 63364kbps its not huge but hey I'm not capped, lets hope it stays this way.

Thanks, and 3.5 years seems ridiculous. I expect you are still banded but just at a higher rate now, probably 67mbit.

How would I tell? My attainable is 75554kbps downstream. I cannot see the point in banding unless a line is either running very badly if left to its own devices or you do not pay for a higher rate. Neither of which apply to my line.

My max speed with fastpatch is 75Mb synced at 74Mb, ip profile 68Mb, not sure if that's correct?

A GEA test will show the profile.

A GEA test will show the profile.
It will show the profile from 13 days ago.
Talktalk tend not to run/share the results of GEA tests anyway.
