Re: Upgraded to Premium - is 3.2mb all i can expect download speeds

Using the WIFI connected PC to view the router stats page is absolutely fine.

Ok thanks have moved the router and logging stats now. Will post up in a 30m the stats. I take it that this will give enough info?
Cheers for all the help

I assume by the master socket you mean the test socket behind the removable lower section. If so it looks not too different to the last good results from your normal socket.
The good thing is that your default noise margin is definitely 6dB.
I am guessing here but I think that after the engineer fixed the problem on the 24th December  your line stabilised with very few errors and somewhere between the 5th and 12th of January your default noise margin was automatically dropped from 15dB to 6dB hence the speed increase.
The only thing left to check is whether the router holds sync overnight - you could watch it in your normal socket if that would be more convenient although the results from the test socket would also be interesting.

Yep this was in the test socket behind the cover.
It is good that this looks more acceptable now. Plusnet did advise that the stats were not that different from my internal sockets.
I will need to plug back into my normal socket as I have no phone at moment with it being plugged into the test socket.
My only question would be whether it is worth moving to ADSL2 for the increased speeds.
I will post up some more stats tomorrow.
Thanks for all the assistance in this. It is much appreciated

You'd probably only get another 1mbps or so at best, plus potentially some or all of the "issues" that plague ADSL2+  Undecided

Made the decision to move to ADSL2. This is scheduled for 24 Jan. And they sent me a new router for this which I am very pleased with.
Anyway stats before I move across are as follows;
Uptime: 0 days, 17:00:28

DSL Type: G.992.1 annex A

Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 448 / 4,064

Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [kB/kB]: 0.00 / 0.00

Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 11.5 / 18.5

Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 26.5 / 46.0

SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 19.0 / 9.0

Vendor ID (Local/Remote): TMMB / TSTC

Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 2 / 0

Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 1 / 0

Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0

Loss of Link (Remote): 0

Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 94 / 0

FEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 0

CRC Errors (Up/Down): 30 / 1,274

HEC Errors (Up/Down): 16 / 537

Hopefully the move across will go smoothly
Thankd for all the assistance on this.
