I just got this from the BT site:
Download speed achieved during the test was - 2323 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :3424 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2500 Kbps
Multimap actually gives the route from my house to my exchange as 3.67 miles and I'm on the edge of my exchange's coverage, so that probably explains it.
Oh well - 21CN should be coming next year.
I'm currently with BT Option 3 @ £24 a month. 6meg D/L and 0.30meg U/L. This is subject to permanent traffic shaping .
I signed up with Be Value last week (12 month) as it was half price (£7.60 pcm) for unlimited download @ 7-8 meg. Would any of you know if Be enforce a 'traffic shaping' policy because i'm led to belive they don't?

Tiscali 8mb unlimited £28 including line rental and all calls
Was thinking of switching to Sky, but notice that my local exchange,which is 0.5 miles away is LLU enabled for tak talk from the 4th of this month.I might hold on and see if they will offer a better (faster)package first
edit ; just checked on Bethere website, and was qouted up to 19 megs , is there that much of a difference now that they have their own equipment in the exchange/
Bethere is reputed to be one of the best ISPs, Tiscrapi is one of the worst. Check your router stats to get a better idea of what your line is capable of.
I'm with Sky on their LLU max product which is pretty good, but I'd switch to be if only it was available here.
Here's my speedtest net result on sky max.
... Unfortunately it is rubbish - this speedtester is not that good and is confused by Kaspersky. My line only syncs at 6mbps.
Does these stats tell you anything?
this is through my wireless laptop

Your DS sync rate looks rather poor given your attenuation is only 27dB, and at 6dB your DS noise margin is already at the minimum, so it looks like it is your line that's limiting your speed - If you've got more than one phone socket then disconnecting the ring wire may help considerably. see ::. Kitz - Improve your adsl connection speed .:: Also make sure everything connected to the phone line inc sky boxes, burglar alarms, faxes, bells etc are filtered.
Ok I have taken out 2 orange wires downstairs (master socket), and found that only 1 wire in extension upstairs was matching downstairs .
So I now have dark blue in terminal 2 and light blue in terminal 5, in both sides
I have now taking new reading from router page
Is this a big improvement ?
