I'd really doubt anything will just magically increase. There's obviously nothing wrong with the line on a hardware level, but there is obviously something very wrong with the line setup somewhere on a software level - as I said, most likely the BRAS profile.

I can't believe that BT Retail are so stubborn as to not log a fault because 409k speeds on a 7000k+ line 'aren't out of spec'. I'd almost be tempted to jump ISP (either by going back to 2Mb first, or maybe not) and find someone who has a support line who knows something.

They are complete idiots and it just sounds like they dont want to do the paper work, they said wait 3 days, as soon as thats elapsed ill be ringing them up and saying that id like to cancel my connection completely and see what happens through them.

Maybe they did change something? Who knows!

If the line remains stable, I believe the BRAS goes up in increments rather than just straight to the max. So it may get faster yet.
 
Its an improved ADSL connection for broadband users that can be up to 8mbps. Theres loads of info knocking about here and adslguide, chances are if your on ADSL you should be able to upgrade now or sometime soon, most questions are asked and answered here .

Well i just downloaded a test file from Zen and did it in 22 seconds @ 394.4kbps, which isnt bad at all!

Well that's over 3Mb. Looks like it's definitely on the way up at last.
 
Well another weekend of slows speeds has just finished! I gave BT another call and spoke to a nice chap who actually knew or pretended very well what he was on about.

I've got an official line fault at long last. 5 phonecalls and 2 weeks its taken me, so woohoo.

I will have to see what the engineer says when he rings back, if he rings back!
