Line still improving bit by bit. Any one know what the following indicates? How do I tell if I am still under DLM?

Mode:			ADSL2+
Channel:		Fast
Trellis:		U:ON /D:ON
Line Status:		No Defect
Training Status:	Showtime
		Down		Up
SNR (dB):	10.9		15.4
Attn(dB):	15.0		7.7
Pwr(dBm):	18.9		12.3
Max(Kbps):	24212		945
Rate (Kbps):	15356		945

What interests me is that Max (Kbps) line... I want that speed!

If you are not living in the exchange then you won't get the full sync speed.

Doesn't matter where you live, Sky is capped to 20megs.

In reply to a post by broadband66:

did you see the attenuation and snr figures? at 15db attenuation with 10db SNR, I would expect 20meg to be easily reached.

As BatBoy says, Sky limit to 20meg, but on another ISP I can see close to the max.

I know Sky sells a 20mb product and I would be happy to get that (just like I did on Orange before they threw me back on ADSL Max). At the minute I am at 15mb and its stayed that way for the last couple of days. I would expect faster (although I suppose I shouldn't moan) because I know that my line can get a full 20mb. As far as I can tell my line hasn't dropped once in the last 7 days since it was activated (aside from the once when I swapped the router) and I've seen the sync go up more since swapping than before so that cant be a problem.

I will leave it a bit longer and see if anything changes.
and FYI I live less than 1km from the exchange which hasnt been a problem in the past, right from 512k Nildram!

Did you see that the op wanted 24+. No chance!

Sorry, not a place for sarcasm I see.

Unfortunately a lot of people see their sync speed and expect that.

Well I've decided not to trust Speedtest.net any more.
Their test shows my download to be 10-12mb. Just downloaded something from Giganews and it went at 1.6megabytes a sec and tried to push 1.8megabytes. I'm just logging into MySky site now to see if DLM is still on my line, apparently you can see it on there but I've never seen anything before.
I genuinely had some power issues at home that caused the downstairs plug suckets to trip out about 7 or 8 times so I might get in touch with Sky.

[edit]
Just found this:
Line connection testing completed on 14/08/2011, resulting in the following settings:

Download speed setting
Your connection has been set to a download speed of up to 15.0Mbps .

Upload speed setting
Your connection has been set to an upload speed of up to 1.0Mbps .

[edit2]
And another thing, if the estimated speed Sky quotes is, for example 10 mb, will that be the top speed even if your line can go faster?
