Just be glad you haven't lost 20meg when you started off with 53 like my line, I've gone from 53 down to 31. So percentage wise I've lost over 40% due to it which is annoying to say the least.
Always someone worse off than you though so I can't complain especially when I was on 2meg 6 months ago.

Could be different uptake levels - there are over 280 lines connected to the Huawei here.

I'm lucky then. 20 months ago I started FTTC and today still have the same sync. I guess my neighbours are virgin customers or ADSL is good enough for them (average 12meg here).

It'd be worth changing your vdsl2 interstitial faceplate to a mk2.
I had similar drops in speed in a couple of locations and the mk2 faceplate along with a short twisted rj11 patch lead my speeds more or less recovered. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221465010788

Obviously try to site the vdsl 2 modem within 1m of the master socket.

I think anyone at 40% or mor eloss is on the worst end of the trend.

Mine is also around that %.

110 when I first checked my stats, the lowest I seen whilst on fast path was low 60s. (not going to post interleaved figures as thats not like for like, thats artifical reduction by DLM). My line then got back to above 65 before syncing at 75 1am one morning about 9 or so weeks ago at a 4db margin, I am still on that sync now with 75mbit with a 3.9db snrm.

Its not necessairly about number of enabled lines but rather if a big disturber gets enabled. I had it seems 2 big disturbers enabled within a month of my service been installed and I was first on the cabinet, so arguably I was incredibly unlucky. Within a month of install down from 110 to 73. Since then any further drops in speed have been in small bites.

Of course I am also lucky that most of my loss of speed is above the 80 cap so not 40% loss of throughput.

I think BT Wholesale checker should including Clean A, Clean B and Crosstalk expecting, so the customer will know before signing up. Example below eg:

FTTC Range A (Clean) 80 77 20 19.9 -- Available
FTTC Range B (Impacted) 80 67.3 20 17.9 -- Available
FTTC Crosstalk (Clean) 80 57.3 20 17.9 -- Available
FTTC Crosstalk (Impacted) 80 47.3 20 15.9 -- Available

I think clean already is with their expected crosstalk. Which is why many people have managed to sync much higher than their estimates.

I think its happened to me too.

I started off with around 75mb line... now dropped to 61 which I think is about a 18 - 19% drop. I think this could be because there are a lot more people on FTTC now.

On the BT website, the range says that I should be getting between 69 - 80. But I'm just wondering Is it really worth it guys to chat to BT about this as it's under the range by 8mb?

I had FTTC since February 2014 and still on 79.9 Sync 19.9 Sync as someone saying my cabinet is about 3% users on it at the moment. I start off with 113,000Mbps but now gone down to 92,000Mbps

Saw my line drop to 74/15Mbps the other day. A reboot got it back to 79/20Mbps. It's a worry that this is the limit of my line currently when you consider that I'm only 80~100 meters from the cabinet in a new build so all new lines nothing overhead.
