My average speeds

[JPag14]

I do have stable speeds and thankfully much more stable than my previous ISP that I switched away from. Not much of a complaint but just curiosity and slight frustration knowing I could get more.

The contract I was given showed a minimum guaranteed speed of 55 with min download of 61 and max of 73.

About a week ago an engineer came to replace the cabling by the cabinet as previously I was capping out at maximum 25.6.

I started getting sync speeds of 66/67 for a few days and shortly after I requested to change to a static IP address as I kept getting bombarded by emails regarding security of accounts etc. due to constant change of IP. 

I am now getting sync speeds of 63.3Mbps with max download speeds of max 58/59 and hasn't changed for 3-4 days. Is this likely the speeds I will be getting from now on? Not once have I reached the maximum 73 and barely maintained above 62 (download speed) except a day from when I got the cabling fixed. 

I've also checked BT broadband checker to see the speeds that my line could get

@JPag14  PS. The figures you should watch are "VDSL Range B (Impacted)".

@JPag14 

Are you using the address or the telephone number checker?

Observed speeds only appear on the number checker. (and for some reason, not always)

BT Broadband (btwholesale.com)

Just out of interest, here is mine. (once again. it may take some time to be moderated)

I have been using the address checker. I try put my telephone landline number but it doesn't recognise it and gives me red text stating there is no data available for this number. We have switched our landline over to Vodafone from VM and its been 2 weeks already since our transfer.

In that case, it may never appear on the BT checker. There are a few suppliers who had their own numbers (TalkTalk, Sky and Virgin mainly) who never seem to get on the number checker.

EDIT: I'm quite surprised Vodafone managed to port the number without problems.

From what I understood Vodafone uses dynamic IP address and I find that my IP address would be different every morning which is the reason I put a request for a static one.

That would be because your router rebooted overnight. It shouldn't be doing that.

Yes the addresses are dynamic, but I've had the same address for months at a time. Until I or Vodafone (or Openreach) causes a reboot.
