Getting me kb, kbps, mb all in a muddle.

Using a Netgear DG834 Router.
At the moment it says it's:

Downstream Connection Speed = 15775 kbps

What is that in mb - how fast an ADSL connection is this?

When you get a new connection, say moving from ADSL Max to an LLU up to 24mb solution.
Over how many days will training take place to establish the best speed?
Are there any specific processes you should go through?

Thanks.

15.4mb or megabit.

Training/DLM depends on the LLU provider, and some (Be/O2 at least) don't use it, but you needn't do anything.

Thanks for that.
I'm new to the wonderful world of LLU
Been advised to set MTU on my router to 1432.
It was set to 1458 with my old connection.
Is this adviseable?

Stats from my router are:

Connection Speed
Downstream 15775 kbps
Upstream 920kbps

Line Attenuation
Downstream 18 db
Upstream 4.5db

Noise Margin
Downstream 12 db
Upstream 12 db

Is this looking good/safe or anything there not looking so good?

Cheers.
