No idea.
It might just be a coincidence that the sync is an exact figure.
The high attainable but normally 6dB SNRM is confusing.
Resync the line to find out.

That would seem to confirm banding, yes. Although there isn't really anything you can do about it.
-
Don't understand why would DLM banded on my line for? Is it to do with a week ago when my line was resync for 10th time?
-
Not sure you will know, but you still have a great line. Is it stopping you using any services?
-

Trying to understand DLM is asking to go insane, all you can do is wait it out, avoid re-syncing and hope it goes away.
My Zen line has recently re-banded itself too, no idea why, but the last time it happened it did just go away.
-
Why is Plusnet IP Profile lower than BTw IP Profile - very poor throughput speed 70Meg as my line still banded at 74000Kbps. :( Fed up with DLM as I think Openreach love to slow your line down!

Annoying, but in the scheme of things 70.6Mbps is still pretty good for FTTC!
DLM has finally turned off my interleaving (hopefully it will stay off this time), but I'm still banded at 67Mb, with max attainable of 76Mb. It's frustrating to give up the speed for no good reason.
-
I will complaint this to Openreach CEO and Ofcom as well. 70Meg reduced from 80Meg is not acceptable!

Max, just let it be. Don't obsess over it. :(
And I've just suddenly remembered, you were supposed to be having a break in Wales. What has happened?
-
Tomorrow off to wales
-
That's good. So go and enjoy yourself. :)
(Just forget about xDSL broadband connections to the Internet.)
-

Your contact (that you agreed to when you signed up and when you renewed) says it is acceptable.
74Mb is well within the range of estimates Plusnet quote you, and even more above the minimum guarantee for your line.
Contacting the OpenReach CEO and OFCOM is a bit over the top don't you think?
Neither are the correct avenue.
A (polite) enquiry to Plusnet is all that would be required.
A request for a DLM reset may well be refused though as your line meets your estimates.
Personally I would leave things as they are.
I have a feeling you won't though.
-
Oh well. I have to accept 74Meg and just forget about it. I off to Wales for few days tomorrow but not looking forward to stormy winds and rain. :( >:(
-

To save you time and effort, Max .... a 'CEO letter' doesn't actually land direct at Mr Selley's door. There is a triage team/chairmans office team, that deep-dive into the complaint and associated circuit data before deciding upon what action to be taken ??
We have an extremely powerful tool called 'NATO' that will aid in that investigation, comparing your circuit against others off the same DP. Coupled with other data from WHOOSH, CSS etc .... if your line falls within the 'Cone of Acceptance', you're just wasting time that could be better spent purchasing wet-weather gear for Wales, tomorrow. ;)
-
I am now back home from Wales. Awful weather :no:
But I am really shocked :o my line has removed from banded since yesterday?

I see a circuit operating at its provisioned speed. All is well. :)
-
circuit operating at its provisioned speed
what does this mean? Sorry about this.
-
Wat exactly do you want. You have a fabulous circuit what more as many of us struggle with 20/2
-
what does this mean? Sorry about this.
You have a service from Plusnet that uses the Openreach VDSL2 80/20 Mbps product. Your Plusnet service is operating at the maximum speed of the Openreach product . . . 79.999 Mbps DS and 19.999 Mbps US is, essentially, 80/20 Mbps DS/US. You cannot have anything more, as there is nothing more to give you.
Just be happy that you have a perfect circuit. :)

Profile at PN end still incorrect as BTw speed test result show IP Profile 77.35Mbps

I'm not sure the Plusnet site is entirely up-to-date. If in doubt, do a few different speedtest sites, I'm fairly sure you will be getting above what Plusnet say.
-
PN Profile still less than BT Profile at 73.7Mb as BT side are 77.35Mbps. Throughput speed is 71Mb
-
PN are sometimes slow to update their profile - submit a ticket saying you are syncing at 80Mbps but your PN profile is 73.7Mbps.
Another thought: - You need to resync to pick up any new profile PN may have applied, so if you haven't resync'd since you got the full 80Mbps back, it may be worth trying first.
-
Dude you're obsessed.
-
Kitz I have done resync bit still getting same throughput speed of 70Mbps as I have contract plusnet about ip profile are not matched bt but they saying the gea test showed sync of 74Meg and they refused to change plusnet profile rate. Will raised PM direct to Gandalf instead
-
Sorry Max I don’t understand what you are actually wanting. If you had no stats would your broadband be ok for what you need ?
-
updated: PN has updated IP Profile now - getting 74-75Mbps throughput speed now

Max, you have a line that has speeds most of us can only dream about getting. Just use it, enjoy it, and only look at the stats if it actually seems to be slow.

Max,
So sorry to hear how bad you have been feeling. As you say, your health comes first so you must do whatever is best for that.
Look after yourself, and best wishes for the future.
