I know I am going to sound greedy here. I found out the other night that Plusnet put me onto MaxDSL over two weeks ago. They failed to tell me so I wasn't able to follow their recommendations to reboot my router every day to improve the chances of getting a good connection.
My Draytek router connects at:
Down: 8128000
Up: 448000
SNR: 7.0 (sometimes 9.0)
Att: 22.0 (sometimes 18)
Also my exchange is just down the road. We are talking about 500 metres at most.
All the speedtests tell me I get 5.5 Mbps at best. (downloading around 750 KB/s (ish) at most. Never better.
I know that is really good. Me more than most, I had to run my own campaign to get broadband in my area, waiting over 2 years for it and living with 5 KB/s on a modem all that time. So I know I should appreciate that speed.
I just expected living so close to my exchange I would get a full 8 Meg out of it. Why don't I ? and is there anything I can do to improve it ?
