That line certainly does have a problem with the IPprofile!
It seems to continually be shufting between 500 & 2000. In the 3rd image it looks like there has just been an increase to 2000, but the orange profile hadnt actually caught up at that particular time and was still limiting you to 500.
Your routerstats report appears to show a nice steady and continual sync with no fluctuations.
Re the assured rate stuff - I havent yet read SIN 450.. but its my understanding that om WMBC the ISP can specifically request from BT that a certain amount of bandwidth is specifically prioritised for certain types of traffic. BTr in particular use this service for customers who have BT Vision to ensure a better quality stream for the designated service. As well as on WMBC.. BTr have been offering this for a while on their 20CN Central Plus accounts.
The EU actually has 2 IP profiles with the maximum attainable speed being the sum of the 2 profiles. AIUI if the 'assured rate' profile isnt being used by the QoS service, then this is supposed to be then added on top of the best effort rate.
So if say the EU want using whatever the ISP designates as the preferred rate traffic such as TV or VOIP.. and if the exchange/backhaul wasnt busy then this would also be added on to the best effort profile for say normal http useage.
>> Attenuation (dB) : 12.0
Hmmm.. wondering.. from your attenuation you are quite close to the exchange. I have in the past seen cases where the IPprofile doesnt seem to trigger properly on a short line. I have no proof of this.. but I strongly suspect it may be something to do with "too much surplus SNR" and the default IPprofile (which is 2000). I also suspect this is why some very good lines seem to get the stuck bRAS problem. My own line being one of them.
I had a heck of a problem myself about 18 months ago with the DLM recording sync speeds that didnt actually occur. Luckily at the time I was logging my line stats with MRTG so I could actually show my ISP that what the DLM claimed my sync speed was.. wasnt actually one that I had sync'd at.
My ISP believed me, but they then had a problem convincing BTw that I was syncing at higher speeds. There seems to be 2 places where the sync speed is recorded on the DLM and one wasnt seeming to be updated as it should. This would happen after each time I had a line change rate.. or a few times after such events as a powercut.
Eventually my ISP got BTw to reset my profile.. but because this was becoming such a PITA and kept happening it was one of the reasons why I actually went over to LLU.
It may or may not be relevant that the speeds I got stuck at were 500, 2000 and then later on 6500
http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?topic=1637.msg55880#msg55880You can see where the router, btw speedtest and woosh test were reporting 8128... yet the DLM still believed I was sync'd at 7392 (which was a false report)
here.
It took 14 days to clear.. and that was with my isp continually rejecting clears. I think it took a full retrain rather than a reset.
May be worth while asking if your ISP can get BTw to do a full retrain rather than a reset.
