The eng wouldn't have spoken of 9 Meg had the line been ADSL1.

In reply to a post by MrSaffron:

Of course I prefer

Expected speed at 41dB attenuation 4800Kbps to 6300Kbps if using ADSL
Expected speed at 41dB attenuation 7250Kbps to 11000Kbps if using ADSL2+

ALL the usable speed estimates for the lady in question were 6500kbps. I was never talking sync speed or IP Profile. The only exception, were the morons at Orange, who predicted 5,000kbps when banding was lifting which they refuse to do. A service that the likes of Xray and others that know no better service may find acceptable. I am more fed up with the continual "You know very well" from Mr. know-all. the snotty attitude from the likes of him must have driven many away from here. If he cannot contribute without personal attacks, I, as you know are happy to retaliate till i get banned.

The lady in question did contact Andrew for help, posting router stats with many errors AND stats with NO errors after I changed the filter and fitted an iPlate. Quiet line test OK and using master socket 3dB snr on the BT Hub, though the Brightbox that has been in for a couple of weeks runs at the standard 6dB, so now a 1.1 Mb service on what seems a banded line. Just been told they are refunding a wrongly charged bill today plus ANOTHER five pounds, with a promise of yet ANOTHER free month from a level 2 supervisor. let's hope that unlike other statements it actually comes to pass, along with a better engineer tomorrow (more promises of no charge) !

YOU KNOW VERY WELL I have not for one minute claimed ADSL1. Please stop continually taking me for a fool, or are you trying to provoke me into a ban?

Cannot see anyone winning, so just like the House of Commons speaker, I'll close this debate for now.
