Is this expected?

Line Syncs at 8128 down; IP profile (as confirmed by speedtester.bt.com) is 7150.

I ran some tests with my last ISP before migration, and stats are as follows:

Speedtest.net - London = 6.87Mbps
Speedtest.net - Maidenhead = 6.95Mbps
Speedtest.net - New York = 6.77Mbps
Speedtester.bt.com = 6556Kbps

Now with AAISP stats are as follows:

Speedtest.net - London = 5.66Mbps
Speedtest.net - Maidenhead = 5.08Mbps
Speedtest.net - New York = 4.87Mbps
Speedtester.bt.com = 5524Kbps

Whilst I appreciate that these speeds are still faster than the Governments 'targets', I find it a little disappointing that when everyone goes on about how great A&A is, that I'm actually finding it slower than before.

I didn't leave my last ISP because of performance, but because of cost - needed to save a few quid, but if I'd realised what I was sacrificing, I may have though twice about it.

Is there anything that I can do to get back to my old speeds (other than switching back)?

I think we need to look into this further, any chance you could email your details to support?

Well tonight seems even worse - I've just changed routers too to see if that helps - and it hasn't.

London.speedtest.net now gives 1.71Mbps

BT speedtester show:
Download speedachieved during the test was - 1638 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8128 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps

As mentioned before, I NEVER saw any slow down with my last ISP - and in fact was very happy with them, apart from the cost.


I've just emailed Support as Shaun suggested; will see what happens now.

Well speeds are looking better for me tonight; unfortunately I had a powercut and the router rebooted, and for some reason, restarted at a 'slower' sync speed; so my BRAS is 6000 for now; guess I'll have to wait a few days for it to go back to 7150 before I can see if full speed has been resumed.
