Quote from: darkxavier .... I am not going to put up with such a rubbish connection for £11 a month.
The trouble is, many alternative ISPs will give you exactly the same connection for rather more per month. Plusnet and many other ISPs use BT equipment. At some (smaller) telephone exchanges that is the only option. If you are fortunate enough to be served by a LUU exchange then you could find an ISP that installs its own equipment in the exchange. That might give you something better but it might not, depending on what is the root cause of your problem.

Is your exchange on ADSL2?

Nevertheless you should not be getting such low speeds, but as you have been advised the training period might correct that.
It would help others to give more informed comment if you post your router stats (sync speeds, attenuations and noise margins).

Quote from: darkxavier BT wholesale says that I should be getting 1mb on ADSL and 3mb on ADSL 2.
That's just nonsense!
1mbps on ADSL = 1mbps on ADSL2.

The equivalent line length from the attenuation is about 4.3 km
With that attenuation and noise margin you should be seeing speeds in excess of 2000kbps
Can you connect the router to the test socket with nothing else connected and report the stats
Oh - and you probably are on ADSL2 already judging by the upstream speed

I am on a 5km line and here are my stats.
My noise margin does fluctuate from 12db to 17db,not bad for an old line.
Interesting tests i have been doing,as i need the phone plugged in to the line,i am currently using a passive bt splitter/filter connected to the test socket,and router and dect base unit connected to it.
I can get a better noise margin by just connecting the router direct to the test socket without filter/splitter.
I have bought a xte-2005 face plate filter and works great with just the router connected,but connecting the dect phone base to the phone out on the faceplate ruins the routers noise margin.
If i connect a normal phone instead of the dect base,the noise margin is unaffected.
I suspect the active filter is picking up intererence from the base,so for me,the active adsl filter does not work in my setup!
