I live 3 miles from exchange, no fibre unfortunately, so I have to make do with ADSL. Anyway, been with sky, speeds have been rubbish for 2 years.. so they sent out a new router, didnt make a lick of difference

Support changed my noise margin from 3db to 6db, only speeds of 2900kbps with attenuation of 51db

so openreach came today, they went to cabinet, and now I have speeds of 6200kbps, I'm thrilled!

I didn't think that was possible on such a long line!

Connection Speed 6102 kbps 811 kbps
Line Attenuation 50.5 dB 29.8 dB
Noise Margin 7.0 dB 8.8 dB

would it be worth asking them to lower the noise margin a bit to boost the speeds?
