My MAX regrade was done today, after a first reboot of my router i was getting
Upstream Speed
448 kbps
Downstream Speed:
8128 kbps

now several hours later i am getting
Upstream Speed
448 kbps
Downstream Speed:
7968 kbps

Both reported by the router,

ADSL guide speed test is telling me im only getting 2mb downstream :(
Now this is no worse than i was on before the regrade, and the package is about £1 a month cheaper, the better upload is a bonus but with every test i ran over the last month or so it was all saying i could get 8mb no problem.

Im also getting more issues of not being able to connect to my routers setup page, turn it off and back on and it is ok, now im guessing the router is maybe haveing sync problems and that is causeing the problems getting to the setup, and each time i reboot it is going for a lower speed.

As i understand it all this is done at the exchange automatically untill a speed is found it syncs at ok, then it stays there.
How long will this go on for? and can it go back up?
for instance if part of the problem was any of the wireing in my house and i replaced it the weekend and rebooted the router would it try to sync at a higher speed if the cables are better? or am i now stuck on a downward slope?

Thanks

OK so now ADSL guide is giving me nearly 6mb

Downstream 5490 Kbps (686.3 KB/sec) 5929 Kbps (inc. overheads)
Upstream 383 Kbps (47.9 KB/sec) 413 Kbps (inc. overheads)


Could this fast differance in such a short space of time have anything to do with F2S traffic shaping / throttling ?

Or can a busy internet / ADSl guide have a big impact on these test results?
 
sounds like your bras profile hadn't been updated on your first test. It can take up to 3 days if your router is switched on when the regrade takes place. If you turn your router off when the regrade takes place you will get faster speeds in the first hour, otherwise it can take to 3 days

edit - to take the f2s network out of the equation use the bt speed tester instead
