Lol, you were with TTB before - which you denied. It will probably be the same as that.

If you can't say anything constructive then please don't say anything. I know what I was on after investigating thank you.

Although the voice element of your line will still be with BT the broadband part will be connected to TT equipment in the exchange.
So I stand by my comments above smile

This is exactly the same product I had apart from line rental being with Plusnet.

You should be good for around 20Mbit sync with that attenuation on a TTB ADSL2+ connection.

Thanks for that. I do hope you're right and when the change over is done I'll let you know how things go with the connections rates etc.

Oh good, what were you on then?

Remember this? You will probably get similar speeds:
In reply to a post by caley:
Hi All.
I've just moved over to Zen this morning and finding my speeds have dropped dramatically. I was with ADSL24 who got gobbled up by Coms recently. The speeds I got with ADSL24 were brilliant. BT says my line will give up to 8mb but I was getting upwards of 13368 Kbps download and 874 Kbps upload with a ping of around 50.

Yaawwwwnnnn. I already said I had investigated but I don't know what I can expect being with Xilo. I must admit I'm not versed up on speed of connections that's why I asked the question here.

I am not leaving BT, it's just keeping my BT line but going through TTB. I'm hoping my speeds will go up a bit. My stats (below) are not what I actually get, it's always less than that mainly on a good day 6.9 down and 370 up but in the evening it's abysmal.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 8128 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 19.0 db 11.0 db
Noise Margin 11.6 db 25.0 db
That's ADSL (G.DMT) not ADSL2+, so perhaps your exchange is not WBC enabled.

Sync 8128kbps gives a BT Wholesale IP Profile of 7.15Mbps, so your 6.9Mbps is good for that. If it is abysmal in the evening it is either exchange congestion on BT Wholesale circuits there, or if you are connecting wirelessly to your router it could be that getting interference from someone in the area who isn't around in the daytime.

Is there any reason you won't get the same speeds as before?

I don't think our exchange even comes into the Lego category never mind WBC. Nothing done since 2006. Fttc has just been activated but I'm one of the unlucky ones who has a EO line. However quite a few around here are EO lines and we've been told that BT should be back here near the end of the year to work on EO upgrades so here's hoping. I think that the slow down is partly exchange congestion but as I was getting 13000Kbps down and 870kbps up when I was with ADSL24 who, unknown to me, started using TT LLU, I'm hoping to get back to that now on Xilo but that remains to be seen.

If the exchange is not WBC enabled then only LLU can give you faster than 8128/448 connection speeds, with the IP Profile kicking in as I described earlier. I'm surprised you went to Zen, because of that smile.
