What do these stats mean?

Were with O2 broadband 2 years ago and had a great connection before the congestion issues started.
Speeds of 8meg and pings of 40-50ms.

Since then we have migrated to Titan and now Vivaciti but have never had the same stats.

I done a bt speedtest

Download Speed
3876 Kbps

0 Kbps 7150 Kbps
Max Achievable Speed

Download speedachieved during the test was - 3876 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8064 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 5500 Kbps

I have previously attained speeds of 6900 Kps when with O2 Access. The IP profile was also higher (7150 I think).

I reset the router and here are the router stats;

Port Status TxPkts RxPkts Collisions Tx B/s Rx B/s Up Time
WAN PPPoA 31177 20593 0 4527 6281 00:17:30
LAN 10M/100M 12596 22982 0 2126 3056 00:17:55
WLAN 11M/54M/130M 10890 10010 0 5193 2073 00:17:44


ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 7712 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 7.0 db 3.0 db
Noise Margin 12.0 db 23.0 db

at the minute the speedtest.net results are coming up at about 1meg and web browsing is noticably slow.

These results are both with the router connected to the test socket.
I have no idea how to interpret them. Can we improve on speed and latency again?

Your line figures look good so I suggest that you probably suffering from congestion as maybe your ISP doesn't have enough capacity for busy times. Does your actual download rate vary significantly depending on the time of day you run a speed test? If it does then that points the finger at congestion.

Check to see if your exchange has been LLU enabled yet (as I assume it wasn't previously with your mention of 8Mb O2) as you could do a lot to better than MAX speeds if you could get on ADSL2+.

no LLU.

There was definitely congestion with O2, but am now with Vivaciti (MurphX package) and they have good reviews re: throttling, capacity etc.

They are looking into it for me, but it definitely isnt as good as it has been in the past.

Pity about the no LLU as you would do good with ADSL2+. Let's hope it is a temporary problem, such as dodgy exchange kit or similar, i.e. something that can be fixed. Good Luck.

Could you go to the BT speed tester run the test from the test socket and post the results.

Thanks

With an 8064 sync you should have a 7000 IP profile so your line must have synced slower in the recent past. Have you removed ring wires?

If you got that download speed at a peak time then it isn't especiallly bad for a BTw based system where ISPs are milked so much by BTw that providing speeds in line with sync is only possible where either caps are low or prices high.
