Well i dont know anything about these numbers but hopefully someone on here can have a look and help! :D
This is after buying a homehub 3 for my "up to 20meg" option 3 package.

This first part is from some test thing i found through BT...

Test1 comprises of two tests

1. Best Effort Test: -provides background information.

Download Speed
4239 Kbps

7150 Kbps
Max Achievable Speed

Download speedachieved during the test was - 4239 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 2000-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :5237 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 965 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 4620 Kbps

2. Upstream Test: -provides background information.

Upload Speed
754 Kbps

0 Kbps 965 Kbps
Max Achievable Speed

>Upload speed achieved during the test was - 754 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 965 Kbps

This next part is from inside the hubs page stuff...

ADSL Line Status
Connection Information
Line state: Connected
Connection time: 0 days, 02:36:08
Downstream: 5.115 Mbps
Upstream: 965.6 Kbps


ADSL Settings
VPI/VCI: 0/38
Type: PPPoA
Modulation: G.992.3 Annex A
Latency type: Interleaved
Noise margin (Down/Up): 2.6 dB / 5.9 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up): 51.1 dB / 32.2 dB
Output power (Down/Up): 18.1 dBm / 12.6 dBm
FEC Events (Down/Up): 865360 / 68
CRC Events (Down/Up): 478 / 33

Thanks for any help or advise people very much appreciated to any who take the time to look through this for me.
 
Then there's nothing else you can do, your noise margin is already incredibly low, there's no more speed to be squeezed out.
 
From what I can understand you are currently achieveing 5.1Mbps download speed. In your best effort test it says that your maximum speed is only 7.1Mbps anyway. I presume your using wireless, so as it is that speed is not to bad in comparison to your max.

I agree with PiKe first of all, what you should do is just unscrew the faceplate off of your master socket. Then connect your router into the port behind this faceplate. This is called the test socket and will ignore all of your internal wiring.

EDIT
And again it all depends on distance from the exchange and various other things. I am sure before you signed up for this package, they would have give you an estimated speed. I know BT do this for definite.
 
oh well.. wondered if them FEC and CRC events where errors or something.
Bt speedtest says should be capable of 8mg, but should know better than to believe that eh? Why cant they just give a real time span for where and when infinity is available? :(

*wired to PC wildest. ;)
 
Yep FEC and CRC are just error correction for data packets. They don't affect the speed of the connection, and it is normal for this to be high. Anyway I would suggest just trying the test socket and re running all of these tests. But I don't think you will get a much faster speed.

An abnormally high amount of error correction can actually decrease speed as the router is busy processing the FEC in order to re-assemble the damaged packets.
 
Yes but the OP's errors are nowhere near an amount where it would start causing a noticable difference.

Actually it is pretty high, I have just seen the uptime is only 2 and a half hours.
 
yeah i plugged in new hub this morning. Will be kept on 24/7 as it was in the past..
So is this something to be concerned about or be able to get looked at by BT?
 
Greetings,

For the attenuation you have 5Mbps is good,
Only other thing i can think of if you are not that far from the exchange is that the phone line might still have the 3rd or bell wire connected.
These wires was used to give extension sockets extra power but this is no longer needed.
Might want to unscrew the master socket and check to see how many wires are connected.
