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

No, Kitz says:

dslMAX (20CN) 4384 kbps IP Profile 3500 kbps

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

But how can the OP do that? He has connected directly into the test socket without any apparent improvement and, for one reason or another, is reluctant to try another router.

With the kitz calculator is it necessary to add 3dB to the attenuation reported by a router when on ADSL MAX to get an estimate of adsl2+ speed on the same line - e.g. for 52dB would one have to use 55dB for the calculation?

Not really sure about that one

Before we go around and around in circles a screenshot from a speed test or a copy/paste rather than hand typed units would be useful.

On the calculator if they really have a line with 4384 sync, and 13dB margin at 52dB, then that is a good sync for the attenuation. The power levels are odd, and it may be the router is reporting data wrong, or the numbers are not what has been typed.

Reason for scepticism is that if you do the maths, this line with a 6dB margin might sync at 8128Kbps.

The OP says he is "1962 Meters from The Exchange (Info From uSwitch Broadband Speed Stats)" so that could indeed be a downstream 26dB attenuation with an 8128Kbps sync - however that might be an "as the crow flies" line length?

Yes, but in this case we are not trying to see what the OP might get on ADSL2+; we are trying to estimate what he should be getting now on ADSL Max.

Thanks

Just wanted to clarify what was said earlier about ADSL MAX and ADSL2+ attenuations on the same line.

Ok, Here are the stats form the BT Speed Tester after immediately connecting to the test socket

1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.

Download Speed
2.33 Mbps

0 Mbps 7.15 Mbps
Max Achievable Speed

Download speedachieved during the test was - 2.33 Mbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 0.6 Mbps-7.15 Mbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :3.01 Mbps(DOWN-STREAM), 0.45 Mbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 2.5 Mbps


If you wish to discuss these results please contact your Broadband Service Provider.

If you are experiencing problems with specific applications, servers or websites please contact your Broadband Service Provider for assistance.

Your test has completed please close this window to exit the performance tester.

And The Adsl Stats from the router

Line state Connected

Thats All

OK, that's what we wanted first. Now please can you post a link to a www.speedtest.net result for us to compare .

There you go
