Re: ADSL2 sudden dramatic download speed increase?


[re: MrSaffron] [link to this post]
 
Nice one.
Does this mean that I might be able to ask T/Talk for an upgrade to *up to 16Mbps?
Thanks again for your speedy and helpful reply.

Just had a chat to Talk Talk and they say that "I cannot upgrade to an up to 16Mbps unless I can get fibre" (their words*

Does the site http://www.samknows.com/broadband/exchange_search list a TalkTalk (CPW) LLU presence?

Suspect it is a case of 'computer says no'

Okay next step is to grab the attenuation, noise margin and connection speed info from your router. Sites like http://www.coolwebhome.co.uk/calc can take those numbers and estimate what should be possible independent of other checkers.

That speedtest shows a typical capped 'Up to 8 Meg' ASDL2+ connection which is what TT is supplying you. There is no evidence there of getting 9 - 15 Meg throughput. Next time you see those repeat that speedtest wired.

What we really need to comment further is your router stats.

Are you actually paying your fees to AOL? It is only AOL, as a subsidiary of TT, that offered an 'Up to 8 Meg' product at LLU exchanges.

I managed to get into the router and did a screenshot of the stats, but when I try to past them into this post, it doesn't seem to work.
How else can I post the stats to you please!
