So....what is my max broadband speed?

Hi, what is my maximum possible broadband speed? Can anyone figure it out?

MAAF Speed tests indicate about 5Meg.
However, the BT speed tester for my line says I can get the following:

Between 8.5Mb and 19.0Mb
(Estimated speed: 15.0Mb)
===================
Router stats:
Modem Status Connected
DownStream Connection Speed 7616 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 448 kbps
VPI 0
VCI 38
===================

Colour me confused?!

What does your router say for margin and attenuation?

Check if your exchange has been upgraded to 21CN status:

Simply put you'll only get faster speeds than what you can get with ADSL Max i.e. up to 8Meg with ADSL2 and ADSL2+ if the exchange is 21CN and/or has LLU providers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adsl

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 7616 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 26.0 db 15.0 db
Noise Margin 13.0 db 23.0 db

With that attenuation, probably about 20mb on ADSL2+
