LLU to BT20CN? Yuck. I bet the latency increase has been measurable too.

The exchange is Inverness Culloden and it's due to be updated to FTTC in March although I'm not sure how may cabinets and which ones or even if my cabinet will be upgraded. Can only hope.

The dslchecker should say if your cabinet is planned.

With attenuation figures reported by your router you should of had near the max adsl2+ speeds, ie 24mbps down and 1.3mbps up with out issues, but you would need to be on a exchange with 21cn enabled , or as said a service via llu supplier, your previous sync and latency (ping) suggest maybe you where on cable & wireless llu network,
they set the target margins higher than most and also won't allow fast path on some exchanges , if you want faster,and no FTTC is going to be available for some time, you would be better off with a isp that suplies talk talk wholesale products, quite a few of the smaller isp's offer this option, should be a lot better than BT's IP stream, shudder, the name shudder, sends a shiver down my spine

till this morning achieved speeds like this 10th February 2014 06:15:50 874 Kbps 13368 Kbps Don't know how but was getting this speed for over a year.

Because with ADSL24 you were on LLU 'Up-to-24 Meg' ADSL2+ provided by either TT or C&W. Now you have unwisely moved to an ISP who can only offer you BTw products and at your exchange BTw have only 'Up-to-8 Meg' ADSL Max. Even that seems congested on top of everything, cuz your router is syncing at full 8 meg speed from which you should be getting about 6.6 Meg speedtests.

EDIT: On ADSL2+ you should have been getting 19-20 Meg Sync, about 16 Meg speedtests.

All BTW based products in Highlands area have been pretty poor for 5 years :-/

Don't rely on SamKnows for this; it's too general. Use https://www.btwholesale.com/includes/adsl/main.html as was recommended and post the results, blanking your phone #. It's important to see if it gives a cab #.

No I've never been on LLU.

Caley.

Below is the only information I get for my phone number.

Caley.

For all ADSL and WBC Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) services, the stable line rate will be determined during the first 10 days of service usage.

Throughput/download speeds will be less than line rates and can be affected by a number of factors within and external to BT's network, Communication Providers' networks and within customer premises.

The Stop Sale date for Datastream is from 30-Jun-2012; the Formal Retirement date for Datastream is from 31-Mar-2014.

As mentioned here already I've never been on LLU with Talk Talk C&W or anyone else. Never liked the idea of giving up my BT line although I shudder at the name also.
