You should be given two figures when you take out the contract - anticipated and minimum.
What is a broadband profile?

If that upload speed was more widely available, this cloud computing malarkey would really take off.
I think witchcraft may be involved.Just upgraded my BT infinity
I'm currently getting 0.21 Mb download and 0.3 Mb upload
i think many of us will have to wait for 4G/LTE and pay through the nose to achieve any decent speeds at all

Did you ever get it sorted?
If you get that speed no matter what the Profile will be dictating it. (There's that word again he says) Ok what happens is when you plug your router in they tell you to leave it on for 10 days and over that time the exchange changes the line speed up and down until it finds a speed where it thinks it can work without falling over every few minutes. If there is noise on the line that will bring the line speed down and every time you switch it of it thinks there has been a drop and brings it down as well. once it's got all its information that is written to a profile and that is what is used on your line. Your broadband supplier is the one to ask to reset it, they will either just delete the old one and allow it to be rebuilt again or just change the line speeds to what the average area speed is.
Why? it's just a session window that can be done on a dialup like citrix can.
Getting the data up in the first place can be very slow. Big corporates have enough bandwidth, small business presently don't. Plus a lot of people are still unhappy about keeping their data in the cloud, so prefer local data and cloud backup, but that's still very slow for most.

Just remembered this thread and have just checked my line again.
After a fraught start with Plusnet's fibre service I was getting the promised 35mb down and almost 2mb up.
So this one was a surprise, 2 months in:

That is a bit poor
Nice to see this pop up again - gives me a chance to slag off BT again.
Left here in May with broadband hovering around 3-4Mb - barely acceptable.
Back here again for a week or so and it's back to less than 1Mb. Lots of promises from tech support, but no action. Engineer supposed to come on Saturday afternoon, but nobody showed.
Waiting in now for another engineer.
They really are a bunch of jerks.
