About 6 weeks later this suddenly dropped to 16000. It would go up again to 18000 every 3 weeks, stay that way for a few days then drop back to 16000. I assumed this was due to the DLM stabilising itself, and it happened 3 times like this before settling on the lower figure permanently. I wasn't too bothered, I was still getting really fast downloads, and had just been spoilt by the previous figures.
A month later my sync rate dropped to 15000 and then 14000, and that's where it's stayed for the last few months. My download speed has been around 1.5 Mbps. Still good. If I ran a BT speedtest or a PN one, this equated to a figure around 13 Mbps.
Over the last 10 days my download speed has dropped to 1.2 Mbps. A speed test at different times of the day shows a figure of around 10 Mbps. My sync rate hasn't changed at all. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I've tried rebooting the router, changing the filter. I'm connected directly to the master socket. It seems the longer this goes on the lower my connection is becoming.

Your sync rate seems to be set on the BT side at just over 15Mb so it's definitely slower than it was, this could be degredation of the wires or possibly some kind of interference (probably more likely given your distance from the exchange) - I assume there's nothing new been plugged in to the phone system at your premises?
Not sure what's causing the slow speeds of 1.2Mbps though and can't see anything on your profile or usage here that might be slowing things either. Where is it you're downloading from at that speed?

There's clearly a problem as this has been slowly getting worse over quite some time. What can we do about it? I'd rather not wait until things get any worse.

I'm just doing some investigating in house on this, if it turns up nothing then we'll see if we can get a fault raised but I'd rather check things here first. I'll let you know if I pull something up.

Non-rapidshare downloads are now coming in around 1.36, where as RS (and other download sites) never go higher than around 1.26. Prior to this issue my download speed was my download speed. Does this shed any light on anything? Do you have an update for me on the investigations?

It doesn't make sense why I now always get 100 Kbps less when I download from Rapidshare (or any other download site) than I do when I download via http if there wasn't some restricting going on.
Have you had any result from the line test? Is it worth resetting my training period?

Sorry about the delay in coming back to you, I've now raised the fault for you as there was a lower threshold breach apparent on the line (you can see any updates on the ticket I've raised on your account). We'll let you know as soon as we get anything back.
