the attainable is 5M down today, its wet, wonder if there is a water issue on this line.
It could be. Or perhaps another customer has ordered FTTC, and their line is adding to the crosstalk picture.
I guess you'll find out when things have dried out.
I just don't know what they are going to expect me to accept now
...
We started out at syncs of 79M and 57M, I don't want to accept anything less.
The problem is that 3rd parties will order FTTC, and some of those will cause some level of crosstalk. Unknown amounts, and random - it depends how coupled the wires are. BT know this, so never go chasing faults reporting small drops in speed. And by small, their threshold seems to be 20% (or is it 25%?)
The cabinet was quite empty at first, right? Was it recently installed? If so, I guess you can expect take-up to rise reasonably soon. In such a dynamic environment, you might *never* be able to get these speeds back, even if your line gets "fixed."
