okay so it does seem that when the 2000 cap is removed the connection fluctuates properly as it should, thank god... hopefully with the computer off every night and on every day it will update for me too.... il keep ya all posted. =p
Major update for everyone! My IP profile (BRAS) has been upped to 8000. and now the connection is fluctuating properly between 2 and 7 meg to find the stable point.
***Solution for me was that the livebox has to be on all day and then off all night for at least 3 full days for the ip profile to be updated. Failure to do this will result in no change in profile and a 2 meg service =(
***Orange are only partially to blame for not telling us about this, but it ant really their fault. So lets sort it out! Tell the world!!

I've left my Livebox on all the time since upgraded since 5th Oct.
The speed is stuck at constant 3.81mb
ADSL firmware version : A2pBT009.d16m-1
Connection mode : G.DMT
Type : Fast
Noise margin (dB) : 6.3
Attenuation (dB) : 38.0
Attainable download rate (kbps) : 4640
ADSL status : Connected [0]
Downstream Upstream
Rate (kbps) 4608 448
Do you think that I should turn off at night?
I must be honest at 3.81 which is twice my 2mb speed I do not really notice it at being quicker. With the age of telephone lines I'm surprised taht it goes as fast as it does.
got the holding some of "where did all go wrong" again
Anyway got through eventually and explained it all again. The customer assistant ran a line test which reported that my speed was "below average" (surprise surprise) so he said it would be reported to BT
I will phone back about 5.30 for a status update.

Personally ive found that leaving it on or off makes no difference.
Ive also read in several places that the BT software on Max recognises wether a connection has been terminated or a router/modem is re-synching, check HERE loads of info.

BT produced a short video describing the requirements of customers in the 10 day period, where your stable rate is realised. 3.81 seems resonable considering the factors you have described but it would be interesting to see what your profile is set to at speedtester.BT.com.
What was your connection speed before you were upgraded? 2000 i assume, if so then the profile will have been updated and your fastest stable rate may have been found to be 3.81 and your bras profile set accordingly.
In short if the BT short advice clip suggests that the router or livebox should be turned off at night, surely it is simply best to follow this advice, to view the short clip, use the link in this topic!!
Keith to recieve an estimate of your final line speed input your Attenuation figure (found from your livebox) into this link:

And here is the link for the short clip worth watching.
phoned the tech line again
the automated voice said they were aware of a fult with some customers and their lines were v busy
after 25 minutes it put me through to a guy in India (wireless and talk) which was the wrong department
He then transferred me to a guy in the UK when he could offer no help.
I was informed there was possible line fault (I know the BRAS profile is stuck) and it would take another 24 hours to get the complete results.
