One thing i noted from the supplied stats is the high 12db magins set by tt on a short line for heavens sake, i would see if you can get them to lower it to at least the default of 6db and try fast path as well, then you could see 21-22mbits sync, + you would see the full 24 mbit sync at a 3db margin fast path, maybe worth your time to join their tt users forum and ask for the profile changes to be made to your line config, before jumping ship, don't try going though their useless tech support on the phone they don't have a clue and don't give a dam,

One thing to consider with plus net or any other isp who resells a bt product, is it would be subject to the bt dlm and also the stupid lower than you can get profiling system ,

Already suggested that,

Now have seen the test socket, yeap, looks like 12 db target which may be losing the 3 or 4Meg extra.

TalkTalk is usually better performance wise too, i..e got a slower line I can use, but performs better than this users. It may be there is a lot of people on TalkTalk on that exchange and congestion is an issue with TalkTalk

Thank you for your explanation.

Plusnet is not LLU, and in fact ADSL Max is now dead anyway.

not really, Plusnet for one have pure 20CN connectivity still don't they ? Several large ISPs use IPSC to pick up data at BRAS interconnects rather than ye olde centrals, rest on centrals.
