Speed issues on BT

I posted a message on the BT forum the other day about my speed suddenly dropping from 1.5Mbit to 256Kbps. I was told that I'd fallen out of sync, somehow, and that in three days time things might improve.

Well, today I'm up to 512Kbps, by the looks of things. But I'm still not back at 1.5Mbit.

I'm starting to realise that a call to BT is inevitable, but any advice will be appreciated.

Here are some relevant figures from my router's log screen:

Data Rate

Stream Type	Actual Data Rate

Up Stream	448 (Kbps.)

Down Stream	2016 (Kbps.)



Operation Data

Operation Data	Upstream	Downstream

Noise Margin	19 dB      	5 dB

Attenuation	63 dB      	57 dB

If you maintain that rate for 3 days or more you should be back on 1.5Mb/s. I think you posted you dropped on the 6th. You may have to wait another day or so.
