what are your line stats?. Do you have any idea what speed you will end up at

Going by my o2 connection i'm expecting around 9000 down 1000 up

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 4096 kbps 512 kbps
Line Attenuation 41.0 dB 26.0 dB
Noise Margin 15.1 dB 13.0 dB

Bit higher today.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 6142 kbps 796 kbps
Line Attenuation 45.0 dB 24.7 dB
Noise Margin 9.1 dB 11.5 dB

Your Noise Margin should level off at around 6-7 dB, so you will get a bit more download speed over the next few days.

sky went live yesterday seams faster than bt getting about 2.8 cant see it getting much better . we live in a small village and our exchange runs on coal

Day 3, getting very close to my old o2 sync.


ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 8631 kbps 921 kbps
Line Attenuation 45.0 dB 24.7 dB
Noise Margin 7.8 dB 8.5 dB

Depends on your line stats reported by your router. Can you post them here?

My friend gets almost identical stats you you with the help of DMT tools to lower the SNR (using a belkin router not skys) gets gets a sync of about 97xx and a 10xx up the extra meg on his speed from what it normal syncs at is amazing help to him worth a look into if you want to push for a tad more speed

I also used to do this on my sky line i was always ment to get a lot higher sync but sky kept refusing that i could get it even though i used to near the start lol so DMT tools helped me up mine i dont bother now tho as got VM 100 + the sky as back up.
