What actual difference does the lower synch speed actually make to your throughput from your ISP. Might be worth losing a little throughput .

What caused it to be bumped up (the dslam must have seen something ). Too many reconnections in a short space of time can cause that to happen .

Well as I'm now syncing much lower than 8128 my BRASS profile has shifted to 6500 from 7150 and I see exactly that reduction in throughput.

OK so it's only 650Kbps but I do notice a difference, especially when I have 2/3 VoiP calls running concurrently with various members of the household watching the last 10 episodes of some pointless tat on iPlayer. I need to review my QoS settings and bandwidth throttles but really it's only those certain times when 'it's all kicking off'.

Besides that it's turned into more of a matter of principle - but still, I really don't know what I'd do if I had to move home and found I only got 1Mbps like many so I should perhaps put up and shut up.

In my case, as to what bumped it up - not sure, other than I have seen BT (Openreach) working around the corner for the past month ;0)
