what do you mean? Take the stats as soon as i plug it in to the socket?

no

I will post the stats after immediately connecting to a test socket tmorrow as I am a bit busy ATM so I will update you later

Tomorrow is fine .

Thinking about it, it might be best to turn the router off for five minutes or so at the time.

We mean once the router has connected to the internet, so as soon as you can after that, but no need to panic or rush. The reason we want it then is that there is a setting at the exchange for the downstream noise margin, and the margin can change quite a bit after that. So taking it straight away gives us an almost certain reading for that connection-time setting.

That setting makes a considerable difference to the connection speed, and also gives us clues about other things over time.

my Download Speeds are nowhere near that (292kbps! In fact)

How are you measuring this Download Speed?

I'm pretty sure your are confusing Bytes ("B") with bits ("b") and are getting these Download Speeds from a software download report, which measures in Bytes.

292 K Bytes = 292 x 8 K bits = 2336 K bits = 2.34 M bits which agrees exactly with the B.T Speed test. QED!

After all speedtests, in particular the B.T Speed test, are saying you are getting 2.34 Mbps not 292 Kbps.

Yes, getting the stats as soon as the modem has connected to the telephone exchange

I like how no one has said anything about the 13db snr for the downstream. It should be closer to 6db. You should be getting about 5-7mb out of that line.

Back in Peterborough my line was long with 50db attenuation and I got 7mb out of it.


For some reason your target snr has been set at 12db by BT maybe?

I think with ADSL MAX given a downstream attenuation of 52dB then a 4384Kbps sync, IP Profile of 3500Kbps with a downstream SNRM of 6dB might be more realistic than expecting 5 to 7Mbps?

Im just saying what my line got with the same attenuation.

Ill also point out that the same calculator you just used says that its till only 4384 for adsl2+

Again my old line was 6mb on adsl max and on llu adsl2+ i got 9-10mb out of it. This is with 50db attenuation.

Once this guy gets the target snr fixed back to 6db his line speed will be better

I already mentioned that yesterday, however you missed the fact that the output power is low.
