Sorry if this has been asked before but roughyl what speeds is everyone getting with there max dsl when downloading? my has sync'd at 8Mb but all day i have been getting download speeds as if it was a 2Mb line was going to just put this down to contention as all the kids are on holiday but even when i try downloading from a server hosted by the same ISP my downloads are still the same :confused:

anyone have any ideas?

Maybe you should read some of the countless other threads about max, or take a look at www.adslguide.org.uk

In short: Regrade causes increased sync speeds, data rate is meant to adjust within 75mins. It's not quite working correctly and can take up to 3 days to increase.

Mine started off like that, it goes up after the first day and continues to go up and then down again hehe.
I dont have a actual connection speed display on this router but using ZDnet broadband speed test its showing just under 6Mbps.
It goes up and down all the time and i dont know how accurate that test is.

BT Wholesale aren't there to provide end user support.

It is working - if you read the AG article posted nearly 10 days ago, it's within the BTw spec that it can take up to 3 days for the data rate to change. If it hasn't happened within three days, you contact your ISP. BTw have no obligation to help you - that's your ISPs job.

i know what BT wholesales job is, i have to deal with their support monkeys on a daily basis. I wasnt informed it would take 3 days for the datarate to change so sorry for wasting your time!
