At 5.3Mbps is that what the FTTC checker states for your line, or a personal estimate?

Generally if its above 10Mbps then a couple of the ISP's have posted of some success in our fibre section, but if the estimate is only 5Meg, then to me that suggests may 1.5 to 2miles from the cabinet.

My apologies.

My original post said "(my current connection is sub 350 mbps) "

I should have said 0.35 MBPS.

Massive difference and explains why I am desperate to get Infinity.

Thermal

.35MBps is 2.8Mbps which may not be te fastest but a lost better than some.

MHC has picked up on something there, as it is possible you are using the same units for two different things.

Are you talking about connection speeds, in kilo or mega bits and download speeds the same, or connection speeds the same and download speeds in kilo/mega bytes per second?

I'm surprised if you mean your broadband is connecting at 350 kilobits per second.

Thanks for the prompt reply MrSaffron.

Figures are direct from engineer in charge of "infinity" installation in this area. He was astonished as I that BT would not give it to me ... but was eventually "intructed" (his words not mine) to tell me they would not provide infinity to me.

Distance to cabinet 0.44 miles per Google earth.

Existing Speed per Thinkbroadband's speed test

Latest Thinkbroadband Speed test shows
Speed Down 333.56 Kbps ( 0.3 Mbps )
Speed Up 375.40 Kbps ( 0.4 Mbps )

Please can you see if you can find and post the line stats from your router ? See here for help.

Hi Thermal,

We can certainly help. We've been successful in getting an number of sub <15Mb lines installed without problem If you want any more info you can PM me, otherwise, all the best anyway!

Is that straight line or estimated cable route. At less than half a mile I would have still expected to get near the full 40 Mbps. You seem to be getting some wildly inaccurate information.

HI RobertoS.

Data requested is

ADSL line status
Connection information
Line state Connected
Connection time 2 days, 22:43:48
Downstream 544 Kbps
Upstream 448 Kbps

And comes as a shock to me as it is much better than I thought. BUT ... why is it so different from the Thinkbroadband speed test. ?
