Explanation please

Signed up in August 2017 for bt infinity 1 and was getting around 40mb down and about 9mb up, everything was fine up until the middle of October where I'd get disconnected for hours and days, after an engineer visit in November, found out the issue was a faulty card in the cabinet.

Since then and until the 21st Jan, I started getting speeds of around 59mb download and between 16-18 upload, after the 21st my speed dropped and also my ping increased (which is still higher than it used to be), found out that I'd been disconnected no more than 13 times over 4 days and 7 of those where in one night, so I put it down to my profile resetting.

So tried contacting bt to get some answers and also mentioned about my speeds both pre and post 21st Jan and the answers i get are all the same apparently im still on bt infinity 1.

When I've told them about the speeds I was getting before the disconnectionsand after the engineer vist, again the answers the same 'I'm on bt infinity 1', one agent has actually said that my line is fine and there's no issues and I'm getting the maximum speeds on bt infinity 1, but when I've mentioned the speeds I was getting for 3 months, again same answer. 'I'm on bt infinity 1', I even questioned the upload speed that I was getting previously and that I'm getting now and been told that there's no estimated speed on upload speeds.

From my understanding bt infinity 1 is 55/9, my speeds where from November to 21st January 59/16-18, after a couoe weeks since the decrease I'm now getting 53/13-15.

Am I right in saying that I'm no longer on bt infinity 1 after they upgraded customers at the back end of last year even though I didn't get any email to say I'd been upgraded or am I still on bt infinity 1 but have an increased upload speed?

I don't have a working laptop at the moment but what ice seen from the line stats the sync speed is at 55mb and attainable be around 68mb for download and 20mb and 21 for upload, sure that cannot be right for bt infinity 1

Don't also know if it's worth mentioning but the cabinet I'm on is a eci one

can you also do quiet line test  dial 17070 option 2  should be quiet and best with corded phone

You have probably had the speed boost that is mentioned in this link. If you did you will still be on Infinity 1 but it is now receiving the additional speed, it does not change you onto Infinity 2 which is a different package with other benefits.

As regards the email advising you of the speed boost, it is not unknown for BT emails to end up in the spam folder or for BT to send them to an email address that you used when you first signed up with BT but no longer use.

Your stats show you have had the boost and you connection of 55993kbps is above the max for old infinity 1 cap. However all your disconnections have caused your speed to reduce and was not your profile resetting. Your current connection time is only 22hrs is that due to modem dropping connection or manual reset

if you can get your connection stable then your speed you increase back toward attainable but could take DLM quite a few weeks

So much for the stable speeds, again speeds have dropped and ping has increased due to this whem I was at work.

as your connection is still appears unstable and you are using a modem then it is not a hub problem.  Have you tried connecting direct to the test socket with a filter to eliminate your internal wiring as causing a problem and also your faceplate.  if you have extension sockets in other rooms then check that there is no dial tone at any socket
