From Linksys Modem:

DSL Status: UP
DSL Modulation Mode: GDMT
DSL Path Mode: INTERLEAVED
Downstream Rate: 1856 Kbps
Upstream Rate: 448 Kbps
Downstream Margin: 10 db
Upstream Margin: 20 db
Downstream Line Attenuation: 41
Upstream Line Attenuation: 21
Downstream Transmit Power: 0
Upstream Transmit Power: 0

Your line is capable of 6-8 megs.

Then what's going wrong?

Probably noise on the line has triggered BT's profiling system to reduce your speed to increase stability.

Who's your ISP and what exchange are you on?

eta; Ooops, I see you're with BT.

Exchange 'NIAL'

I have a line which is right beside the other. It's on Sky (running on BTs network since LLU is not enabled on any provides on my exchange).

It gets on the router stats:
Down: 2496Kbps
Up: 448Kbps

Line Attenuation:

Down: 37.0dB
Up: 19.5dB

Down: 5.5 Noise Margin
Up: 10 Noise Margin

Speed Test Results:

89ms latency
1.75Mbp/s download
0.36Mbp/s upload

I really doubt though I could get 8Mbps if I'm around 2 miles away from cabinet / exchange.

Hello jdowning And yes indeed you should be able to achieve atleast 4mb's with a 40db Line atten.

With my line 68db True Attenuation I can achieve:

Connection Speed 1536 kbps 736 kbps
Line Attenuation 63.5 db 30.0 db
Noise Margin 6.1 db 7.0 db

Who did you contact concerning BET? And do you have any info whether you can stay with your current provider? Id like to look into getting 2mb

Thanks

Hi mxx, it's currently a government scheme here in Northern Ireland where all rural businesses must be able to receive atleast 2Mbps broadband and if not then they will provide those businesses with line bonding facilities free of charge. BT Retail have only invested into this BT Wholesale product so if you're on another provider then I'm guessing not, sorry

Down: 37.0dB

as the man said, should give you at least 6M.

Is the router on the only socket on the line or is there a rats nest of extensions ?

Thanks for the info Jdowning we have a Rural business here in Wales I imagine the scheme is the same?

Ill get in contact

To the OP you need to answer the above question...

I think since your line has been moved to the garage, it's not the master socket.

I wonder if this is BET the OP is on about ? As the others have said, he should be syncing way above that if that attenuation is correct.

In Twyford, the ISP's involved would appear to be BT Business Broadband, and Scotnet.
