My estimate is 58.1 at about 400m from the cabinet (best guess assuming the wires don't do anything stupid). I'm actually getting around 59 so it seems pretty accurate (although I started off at over 70 before the DLM did its nasty work!)

Yes, the checker is showing virtually my attainables so it looks like it's now very accurate.

For me the checker is showing 61/20, however the modem max rates are 100/34. So I guess I'll get max sync.
I'm around 100m from the cab straight line but the cable distance looks to be around 300m.

Not sure - my modem shows maximum attainable as anywhere between just over 70 and just over 80. I actually sync in the low to mid 60s.

Has anyone else noticed no real change on the availability checker ?

Im currently getting 37.5/8.5 and the BT checker says I should be able to get 41/6 ??

The max rates on my modem only change by +/- 1Mbit. I'll soon know as I shall be signing up for the 80/20 as soon as I can tomorrow. I wonder how long it will take, as it is only a profile change.

I'm about 100m from the cab and get the full 80/20 sync.

Speedtests come in at a max of about 75down and 16up.

Newsgroups clip 10MB/s.

[re: TheHorseman] [link to this post]

for me the checker says;

Our test also indicates that your line currently supports a fibre technology with an estimated WBC FTTC Broadband where consumers have received downstream line speed of 40.2Mbps and upstream line speed of 6.1Mbps.

Should i go for infinity 80/20 or the 40/10?

EDIT: Currently with Be and they say i should be getting 7mb with their LLU, but i'm getting around 15mb.
