Really irrelevant for me but thanks for the Information.
What you are reporting could be a significant change to the way FTTC has operated since day one.
It may only be relevant to your connection or ISP, but it might be useful information for us if you could share details of your current sync speed & IP Profile with us to whom it may possibly be relevant.
I may have to inform reps from my ISP of the changes as they are still quoting the 96.79% to users from time to time.
