That definitely satisfies the rule of thumb. Thanks for your in depth explanations, WWWombat.

its up to you what you do but an extra £10+ for 7-10Mbps? very very pointless, its only 875Kbps-1.2MB/s more and you wont even notice it imo.

I upgraded from 40/10 to 55/10 and was a very good move, IMO. It allowed my line to be included in the trial!

Is there something in the trial that excludes the 40/10 product? I assumed it would cover most lines irrelevant of product.

I think he means that if he line was capped at 40, then his SNR would be above 6, and thus no need for the trial to make changes?

That makes much more sense! Williams line is like mine where the 55/10 package introduction is ideal. I can't see me benefiting much from the lower target though as I sync around 54/10. I'll get the little 1-1.5mb left.

They done it already.

Connection Speed 46816 kbps 9994 kbps
Line Attenuation 21.8 dB 0.0 dB
Noise Margin 6.3 dB 6.6 dB

I'll give it 2 weeks and cancel if it is unstable. Notice upload has slowed.

Give it three days then reboot well inside daylight hours. Steer clear of dawn or dusk. Saturday or Sunday would be ideal. You may get even better in both directions .

There's nothing special about three days, but certainly don't do anything until Friday.

Thanks i will monitor it. Sky say they do DLM for 10 days on the line when a new product is activated. If that is true that could be annoying. I remember them saying that before and nothing happened it just locked at 39999kbit and 9999kbit up and stayed like that sometimes 40000kbit down.

If i reboot router and there is DLM monitoring or running on my line won't i make it think it dropped due to an error and got worse?

Ok this can't be good. I have done 10 speed tests and out of the 10 only 1 gave me over 40meg it is as if my line profile is capped.... but why would one speed test out of the 10 give me the extra 6. whatever meg?

normal 40meg result i used to get.

then.

That one increased to the new sync i had. Then....
