2 weeks after I signed up when I unlocked my modem I had 110 max down and 36 max up. (dont know if it was higher before that).
3 weeks after signup I had max 90 down and 36 up.
4 weeks after signup I had max 73 down and approx 29 up.

Here is mine:
2 weeks after I signed up when I unlocked my modem I had 112 max down and 38 max up
3 weeks after signup I had max 112 down and 38 up
5 weeks today after signup I had max 112 down and approx 38 up.

Over the 18 months I've had fibre my max attainable rate has gone from around 85/26 to 70/22 with a drop from 73/23 to 70/22 when my new neighbour had fibre installed about 3 weeks ago.

Annoyingly his max attainable is 81/24.

I believe I was one of the first enabled on my local cabinet (about 2 months ago), and at first it would sync at 57mbps down and 12mbps up. Now it's at 50mpbs down and 9.5mbps with approx 20db attenuation. The vast majority of that loss of speed happened in the first few weeks, and it has since stabilised. It's very possible there was a large number of lines enabled at first so the stabilisation may be because the first rush of conversions is over. Hopefully it won't degrade at the same rate in the future.

The OR engineer measured the line length at 700m (it's about 500m to the cabinet by foot).

I rather suspect that people's experience in this area will depend on whether they were an early adopter and how close they are to the cabinet. Hopefully vectoring will resolve much of this, but I've no idea just how easily this is retrofitted.

Should I worry about the attainable rate as it appear to drop for the first time today. Maybe more customers on my cabinet now?

Resurrecting this thread.

With the cabinet completely full stats have gone from:

Max: Upstream rate = 29421 Kbps, Downstream rate = 98020 Kbps
Path: 0, Upstream rate = 19999 Kbps, Downstream rate = 79987 Kbps

To now:

Max: Upstream rate = 21782 Kbps, Downstream rate = 66332 Kbps
Path: 0, Upstream rate = 19999 Kbps, Downstream rate = 65655 Kbps

Joys of xDSL services. Better than many but had faster 2 years ago so a little vexing.

EDIT: Should be interesting to see what happens when the second cabinet goes live and the crosstalk from that guy begins to bite. Ugh.

This'll teach me for driving demand within the community!

don't know if will reply as you don't seem to reply to any of my posts now but, did you see any large drops at once or was it all gradual short drops of speed?

Easy fix - turn off openreach modem for 24 hours. Turn off modem main socket first and then unplugged from the master socket. DO NOT USE IT for 24 hours.

Then plugging in the master socket and switch on openreach modem, it will now get maximum max downstream / upstream rate.

I did mine and it worked a trick!

Lucky you had such a fast line to begin with. Your actual 14MB drop could have been 33MB if your max started at, say, 70MB...!

I wasn't monitoring it that closely. I had a look periodically, I don't run any kind of automated monitoring on the thing, so can't really advise on that.

I believe it stepped down rather than being a smooth downwards trend but that's just a belief.

I don't respond to many posts, nothing personal

Tell me about it.
