Is there any point?

I'm on Nildrams £25.99 "Upto 8mb" service but get nowhere near that amount, looking at my stats should I move back to a 2mb product?

ADSL Exchange Stone Staffs, Staffordshire
Maximum stable rate 3424Kbps
Line speed 2272Kbps
Fault threshold 2396Kbps
Maximum Product Line Speed: upto 8Mbps

Something not right there.

Your current line speed is below the fault threshold and looks suspiciously like a stuck profile.

Can't comment much more without seeing your Attenuation and SNR figures from the modem/router but just on what you've posted so far I'd be inclined to put in a support call and tell them you may have a stuck profile.

This thread was posted ages ago with those details in http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17686103

Need to see the attenuation and SNR as it is now though as SNR in particular will change now you are on a Max product and syncing higher than you were before.

Cheers, will sort it this evening when I'm home

Could you also check your upload speed at the same time?

I have a suspicion that BTW may have put you on to a special profile which caps the upload and download to the same as a 2Mb fixed speed line, easy to prove as the upload speed will give the game away.

OK will give that a whirl!

I guess I'm best off staying where I am then?
