I live 800m from the exchange. The line has always been very good, guess I'm just lucky

Maybe not Speedtouch then. I thought it was Netgear, but mine is OK - 834PN. SO I guessed I was remembering ST.

Already working at 984kbps!! Big thumbs-up, Plusnet

Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 15227 kbps 984 kbps
Line Attenuation 15 db 3.5 db
Noise Margin 8 db 8 db

Excellent to see.

One modem reboot later, and it's running along happily at 1001kbps upstream, 15Mbps downstream. That's more like it

Not bad at all. Long may it continue

Rather low sync for your attenuation. see my sig

Thats with 19db downstream attenuation

Hmmmm. Chipset issue perhaps? I have a DG834G v2.

I also had trouble with a burglar alarm upsetting the line during last year so that my IP profile (on old ADSL) was reduced to 135kbps for days at a time. I wonder if there is some legacy from that...

Also when I first had ADSL2+ enabled (24 Dec) my Netgear didn't have the latest firmware in it and would only sync at around 7Mbps until I upgraded it... could the training period have been affected by this?

I've rejigged all my phone lines now so that all extension lines hide behind a filter at the master socket end of the line, so I shouldn't be getting any interference, and as you say with those line stats I ought to be getting higher rates.... any clues as to why this might not be happening?

Good heavens - I've just realised how high those line speeds are, are you actually inside the exchange?!?

Your noise margin is 8 which is a bit higher than it could be. How low does it drop during the evening? It may be that BT have set a slightly higher target noise margin because of your earlier problems and that will be restricting your speed. If that is the case you may find the sync speed rises again in the next few weeks.
