Possible banded connection

[#1]

Another one showing the correct results.

Download speedachieved during the test was - 6266 Kbps For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 2000-21000 Kbps. Additional Information: Your DSL Connection Rate :14915 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 440 Kbps(UP-STREAM) IP Profile for your line is - 13000 Kbps The throughput of Best Efforts (BE) classes achieved during the test is - 23.68:32.73:43.58 (SBE:NBE:PBE) These figures represent the ratio while sententiously passing Sub BE, Normal BE and Priority BE marked traffic. Upload speed achieved during the test was - 329 Kbps Additional Information: Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 440 Kbps

My PN IP Profile shows 13000 Kbps (Thanks Jojo) and my router is synching at 14915 Kbps with no errors but I seem to be still capped at ~6000 Kbps (verified with 2 other speed testers).
What is this 'banding' that I have heard about and is it possible that I am affected?

HI Tony,
Banding affects the sync rate and restricts it to a certain limit. Your sync rate being as it is I would not say you were banded. I'd just keep an eye on it for now and I'll see if I can find out more info for you.

Split off as it is not related to the original thread

Sorry Oldjim, I did not mean to hijack the thread  :-[. However, BT speed tester does now seem to be giving valid results for me.

Hi Jojo,
Speed had now increased  (6000 Kbps at 5.50 am and 12100 Kbps now).
No errors showing on the router stats and :

US Trained Rate: 440  kbps  DS Trained Rate: 14915  kbps  Local Line Attenuation: 30.0 dB  Remote Line Attenuation: 8.5 dB  Local SNR Margin: 6.00 dB  Remote SNR Margin: 28.5 dB

So, it look like a success :).
Thank you again for all of your help.
