Notes:
If your download speed lies in this range then your connection seems to be working fine.

Notes:
The Download Speed is the average rate that was achieved during this test.

Notes:

Your line is configured to the maximum rate that it can support or at your chosen fixed rate, this is known as the line rate and would be viewed through your CPE software or in your router configuration.

Your IP profile is always less than the line rate and is normal on any network.

The Assured rate figure quoted will always be smaller than the assured rate profile. This is because in order for the throughput to reach its destination, it requires an overhead which explains the difference between the two.

Notes:
If your download speed lies in this range then your connection seems to be working fine.

Notes:
The Download Speed is the average rate that was achieved during this test.

Notes:

Your line is configured to the maximum rate that it can support or at your chosen fixed rate, this is known as the line rate and would be viewed through your CPE software or in your outer configuration.

Your IP profile is always less than the line rate and is normal on any network.

Still getting v04 errors, nothing has changed as far as how everything's set up and connected so the has to be an issue with the line.

[imjolly]

the v04 error is to do with the on demand on vision - have you tried this link  http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10664/~/error-message%3A-v04-while-watching-an-on-dem...

you will probably get more help on the bt vision forum and also maybe using the search facility there may also help
