I am currently on BE Pro but i only get 10mbit/1.5mbit where i should be able to get 24mbit/2mbit. I have optimised the adsl routers configuration via telnet based on the advice from BE user community and that got me 1 extra mbit. They said that i should dial a number and if i hear anything on the line then that means the line has noise and i should contact BT. I phone the number did not hear anything. I am literally down the road from the exchange.
My question is, my local exchange is hornchuch and it is fttc ready with 28mbit/6mbit speeds available BT website says. Is it BT that is restricting bandwidth on adsl2 lines to try and get people to move over to the fttc service? I don't understand how an exchange could be offering higher speeds but my line syncs at 11 or 10mbit. I do not think there is a problem with my line and i am using the test socket so it is not an internal wiring problem. BE washed their hands of it and blamed BT. The be user community said that i should phone BT and say that i have noise on the line even if i don't and bt engineer will come and do their "magic" and i will then sync at a faster speed. Why do i have to call bt to increase my sync speed, why is it not already syncing at, at least 16mbit/2mbit ? I just hate phoning BT and speaking to an indian call center for 1 hour to try and get them to send an engineer while he asks what lights i have on my router etc.
Anyone have any advice how i can quick start the process and just get my speed increased without jumping through BT hoops.
Also are there any FTTC service providers other than BT yet, any FTTC service providers that do not have a 18 month contract yet, and will there ever be ?
