Slow Speeds, can anybody interpret my router details?

HI,

I have moved to a new house and my bt broadband is very slow. I am getting less than 1.8Mbps and I believe others are getting 6Mbs+ on the same street. We are only 800 meters from the exchange. There is nothing else connected to my home phone nexwork, phones etc.

I have plugged into the socket within the master socket but it makes no difference. I am also connected from my computer to the router via a network cable, no wireless.

Can anybody tell from the details my router reveals whether I should be getting better speeds? It's all gobbledegoop to me. Thanks in advance for any help.

Which probably says you have a 2 Mbps IP Profile. This should improve in time, or can be prodded by the ISP

ahhh, thats what it does indeed say. Will this automatically be increased then? Thanks for your help.

It should be if the sync stays at a value high enough to give a better value
