IO am on TalkTalk's 40/2 so I can only get 1.9 maximum according to TalkTalk on that package so it wont make any difference unless I upgraded to the 80/20?

Do these stats look good?

The stats suggest you could get 6115 Kbit upstream if you weren't capped at 2000 by your talktalk package.

Do they not offer a 40/10 package? That would be better for you.

Nope just medium and large which is the 80/20

No they don't, I wish they did or them to change to 40/10 in the future. But knowing TalkTalk that probably wont happen. I might switch to plusnet when the contracts up as you seem to get 80/20 for the same price as I am paying now for 40/2.

Note that it isn't the sync speed that is affected by the QoS setting, but is the upload speed that can be achieved.

On my 20Mbps sync, turning QoS off allowed upload speeds to increase from around 17.5Mbps to 19.1Mbps, while sync speed stayed the same.

Whatever is causing the speed restriction, it seems to be internal to the modem. Perhaps some artefact of the way it queues packets when QoS is turned on.

Try it...

The speed restriction is what TalkTalk put on the up to 38mbps package so it is everyone who has it will only be able to achieve 1.9mbps upload maxiumum. I disabled QoS but it didn't make a difference.

I got my MK2 faceplate and DSL cable today. The MK2 faceplate went to 26Mbps but soon as I plugged the tandy cable in it went down to 24Mbps. I think the DLM has noticed, and reduced my speed as the line attenuation has got higher. Oh well I will have to wait until the DLM decides to speed me back up again.

The length of cable from faceplate to modem/router has a direct effect on d/l speed. I have recently changed the cable and found the shorter one (50cm) is easily 3Mbps better than the same cable type which was 2Mtrs long. I actually cut and re-terminated the old cable simple to tidy things up a bit with the surprise result.

The cable from tandy was measure as 0.50m. Computerman142 (it sound like DLM will working it out because of your faceplate and cable change) allow it for couple of days it will improved. Keep on eyes on your CRC errors on the BT Openreach modem line stats.

Why I never thought of making my own cable is totally beyond me as i have the plugs(in the bottom of the shed) and the crimps. I think I will order some expensive copper cored cat 6 and see what the results are.
Have you tried using twitted pair cable or did you chop down the standard flat one. The twisted cable will only have any benefit if you have interference making its way into the cable to start with, Though, In a modern home it would be a high possibility especially if you have seen positive results just by chopping it down in length.
