> Current State DownStr: 7040(K) UpStr: 768(K)

7040K is a bit disappointing when you're expecting 16000K but it may be the best your line(s) can support.

Due to your current low noise margin you wont get any faster, have you tried moving to the main socket to see if your stats improve.

No real problems except one, interleaving, it adds on 10-25ms of latency so if you like playing online games then its a bit annoying but then again it keeps your line more stable.

Yeah but Sky enable interleaving as standard so nothing can be done about that - they won't turn it off.
