Is it normal to loose 20 meg due to crosstalk. I have now been on fibre for just over 18 months. When first connected speed was 79 meg down and 20 meg up
which I had for some months. I was told that I was the first to get fibre on the our cab. Over the last 15 months or so my speed has dropped and is now 56 down and 15 up and is still going slowly down. I am with PlusNet and they tell me that the BT checker says my max speed is 56 meg down and there is nothing they can do about the speed loss even though I was getting the full 80/20 to start with. Line checks come back with no faults.

Nearly 3 years ago when my cab went live my max attainable was 130Mbit, its now 110Mbit

As discussed elsewhere, I started on 56Mbps actual and 4 months later am on 32Mbps actual... Clean estimate is 43 - 32 Mbps

I think vectoring is likely its a matter of when in my opinion.

But will it be for all, bearing in mind ECI kit will need the M41's replacing to support vectoring.

Oddly i have noticed mine has crept back up to 116Mbit.

I have a similar Issue.

When I first started out I had a solid 75mb line.

Now I get 53 tops. I can only assume that this is because of crosstalk, as I'm about 200 - 250m away from the cabinet.

I had an engineer out and he said that there was a woman in his area that gets the full 75mb, but as soon as the clock hits 8pm, her speed drops to 9mb.

He believed that it was something being switched on at that time which was effecting the speeds. He said that electrical appliances being used that don't have the Kite mark can be a possible issue too. Don't know how true it is though!

Are we talking sync speeds or download speeds?

It is possible.

Shows using an AM radio, though for VDSL2 might need to shift into the shortwave bands, since VDSL2 is 1 MHz to 17 MHz

Appliances with the full Kite/CE marking can still cause problems too, i.e. the marks are only from a sample that is tested, a bad batch or single poor solder joint can cause issues.

That sounds more like a wireless issue than a connection speed one.

This is Sync speed sorry, forgot to mention!

It could be DLM
