What Basic Speeds Should You Expect on ADSL

[link to this post]

Been with Shell Energy Broad Band for over a month now" I've always found ADSL fine for my use last couple of years have alternated between Sky and Plusnet. Plusnet was a bit slow for movies on YouTube one year, but they fixed that. Download is not normally a problem: speedtests show about 11Mbps, but uploads are only showing about 0.4Mbps. Surely that should be nearer 1Mbps these days?

What speed is the upload actually connecting at i.e. sync speed, attenuation and noise margin figures are the key

Why don�t you post your routers stats, there may be useful info to be gleaned by reading them.

Are you saying you are artificially constrained to 400kbps upload? On ADSL it is most likely your line length and quality is the problem.

It could also be a profile requested by the service provider ...

Odd, as I say I haven't had the same problem with previous ISPs.

With those stats you should be getting ~ 19 Mb/s in speedtests, with close to 1 Mb/s in upload speeds. What speeds does the AAISP tester give you using a wired connection?

hk11

When you are testing are you using Ethernet or WiFi

Your synch speed is showing as 21Mb down and 1Mb Up so you should be getting closer to 19 Down and 0.8 Up on speedtests.

Have you tested from this site, if so can you link the result to a post so that we can see the results.

WiFi.

You would think so.

Yes, this site. (scuttles off to find link).

So if you aren�t testing via wifi, something looks awry ....

At that sync rate your throughput speeds ought to be higher.

You can't expect good consistant speeds over WiFi. Use Ethernet.

I'm not. I don't use Ethernet for my browsing etc. and haven't done for some years.

Just looking for the same or near to what I have had for the last five years with previous ISPs using the same router.

The problem with doing that test over WiFi is that you can't control what your neighbours are transmitting into the air. Using Ethernet means you can control the environment. (Unless you build a faraday cage).

Obviously phones and tablets don't do Ethernet (unless you have a new iPad Pro with USB-C to Ethernet adaptor!)

Edit - to fix stupid mistake!
