Thats why I wanted to know your line length seems similar to mine.

Here are my figures

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 5515 kbps 1148 kbps
Line Attenuation 51.5 db 29.7 db
Noise Margin 4.4 db 5.8 db

I would guess you'll get a bit lower than me based on your attenuation of 59dB

I cannot tell you any adslmax figures for comparison as I went straight from 2Mbps fixed speed to Bulldog LLU. Have been on LLU ever since

Here is a speed test I just ran which gives you an idea of the "real" speeds I get

I dream of stats like that I doubt I'll get much faster sync wise, however the upload speed will be a lot better and the actual speed should be faster due to the sync -> actual being better on LLU than DSLMax.

Fingers crossed anyway, but I'll know next week

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,148 / 6,425
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 31.0 / 53.5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 6.0 / 7.5

My sync jumped from approx. 4500kbps on the BTW product to over 6000kpbs on sky LLU and now is the above figures on O2 LLU.
Have to keep an eye on my attenuation cause from what I remember it has jumped from 48db on BTW(Billion router) to 55db on SKY(dg834gt) and now 53.5 on O2(I believe the v2 router).

Cheers.

Call this PRE O2

Item Downstream Upstream Unit
SNR Margin 7 13 dB
Line Attenuation 59 31 dB
Data Rate 2688 448 kbps

Connection is set at 2000 though, lets see what LLU has to offer......

My new O2 stats today after moving:
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 991 / 3,134
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]: 0.00 / 0.00
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.0 / 15.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 36.0 / 62.5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 6.5 / 6.5

Attenuation has gone up, but my sync has gone up and my downloads are about 25% faster on LLU. Upstream is roughly double too.

All round, I'm extremely happy, it's early days though so who knows.

I had 5+ years of happy connections with PN, lets see how O2 fares.

Oh, and the Quidco deal for O2 is apparently £70 cashback now and several months free, doh!

Only one month free .

Re those stats, after the first few days of DLM, during which the sync may fall a little , I recommend you force the O2 box to use ADSL2 rather than ADSL2+. When you do that your attenuation drops back to what it was before so your sync goes up, as you aren't really getting anything from the higher ADSL2+ frequencies.

In fact my Netgear with DGTeam firmware automatically selects ADSL2 if I give it the choice.

To do this on the O2 box you have to use a CLI command. If you want I will find it for you another time, along with the command to return it to ADSL2+ if desired.

ADSL2 mode, new stats:
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 975 / 3,695
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]: 0.00 / 0.00
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.0 / 18.5
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 36.0 / 58.0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 6.5 / 6.5

My sync is over 1Mb higher than DSLMax on LLU!!!!

I bet that gives you over 3000kbps on a TBB speed test as well, above your previous sync and 50% higher than your profile was.
