setting up adsl (noob)

Accoutre Sunk · 7 Jan 2009 at 20:33

Hey guys

just moved over to adsl after many years on cable

signed up on a sky16meg package and installed router/modem today

initially was setup on an extension socket and was speed testing approx 3500k/sec

moved to the master socket and jumped up to 6500k/s

tbh i'm dissapoinsted after years of top package cable package its a big drop.

anyone suggest some tips for upping this speed?

i'm approx 1 miles from the exchange (maybe 3/4 of a mile as the crow flies)
so far i've moved the router to the master socked and am connected using cat 5 and onboard network port(Gigabyte DS3R)

seen this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BT-I-Plate-In...14&_trkparms=72:1300|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318

any good? and would i see any real world speed gains?

any thoughts appreciated

Cheers

Accy

ok i'm confused

connection was running perfect at syncing???? at 7600k and was downloading perfect maxing this out now today its dropped to 5600k and no amounts of router resets will get it to go back up

any thoughts on this guys?

popped the face plate off and the orange wire isnt connected to anything
