Hi Keith, you are on 21CN WBC ADSL2+ up to 20Meg with your sync upstream 1121Kbps.

I know Orange do cap line speeds, on LLU I was capped at 16384Kbps, on WBC they capped my line at 18004Kbps and recently since they switched my connection from Interleaved to Fast, I am now on maximum 24384Kbps. All this has happened without my asking so they are tweaking the connections thankfully.

I don't think that is an ISP imposed cap. For starters, they don't cap at odd speeds.

I think that is what your router reckons as the max speed your line will bear. Other routers call it "Maximum Attainable Rate".

I still think your Sync is about 3 Meg too slow.

I've done the BT test:

Download speedachieved during the test was - 7161 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 2000-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8841 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 1121 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7800 Kbps

Upload speed achieved during the test was - 922 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 1121 Kbps

I'm using a Livebox which I prefer to turn off at night. Since change from LLU I have kept it on. If I turn it off will that cause problems?

Anyone got a view?

Keith

You can certainly turn it off overnight. Just don't turn if off frequently, say more than 6 times in an hour.

Thanks, I'll turn it off and report if there are problems.

Almost tempted to re-boot to see if it goes up. But I think I will stick.

Hi XRaySpeX, I don�t know where these cap rate settings come from, I don�t think it is the router governing them; I think it is coming from the DSLAM. I have been studying this for over twelve months now, wish I Knew the answer.

All I could find on it�

I know my sync is low, I�m now wondering if it�s the old pre NTE5 socket which has no removable lower half.

OK, I agree it's the max speed you could attain if any DSLAM restrictions were lifted, but it is not necessarily an explicit cap on Sync; it could be lowering of Target NM.
