Ignore the partyline comment - they no longer exist on BTs network.

Then explain 'piggyback'? Your suggested config does NOT sound piggybacked.

It's not going to tell me anything I don't already know though, is it? 512 for fixed line; 1mb for Max. It says I'm on cabinet 2, but...that means nothing! Right?

At least it means you have a direct connection to Cab 2, not "piggybacked".

It's hard to comment further without seeing the output.

Maybe you could explain "piggybacked"? Unless it's a "mistake".

I can't! That's why I'm querying its introduction into this discussion by OP.

Ok, "mistake" it is then.

Piggybacked was simply my non-technical way of interpreting the "sharing" of a line, that's all. DSLchecker confirms that's not the case. Connected to Cabinet 2. Downstream range 0.25 to 2 (wow)
