Yeah, I recently switched from Be's 24mb service to 8mb and they said that I'm still on ADSL2+, but the connection is just capped to 8mb. The changeover was almost instantaneous and my sync stayed the same as before (4.5mb down/1mb up).
Well they've "fixed" the voice line now and my ADSL is stable again. But it no longer wants to sync at 8meg. Currently it's at 7616 kbit/s and 448 kbit/s.
I guess they've moved my line onto another twisted pair that isn't as good as my last one?
It should also be pointed out that BTw state that applying interleaving reduces the maximum line rate achievable from 8128kbps to 7616kbps. This is due to the additional overhead required for check bytes.
Note: although BT state 7616 is maximum sync speed with Interleaving, many instances of higher sync speeds have been reported by users.
Most will not get full mate. But as you can see I have the full 8128, I've never got around to getting fast enabled.
