premium internet but 2mb/s speeds

I have done a number of speed tests on my connection and I am lucky to get over 2000 when I do it. Have a done something wrong as I thought I would get close to the line speed? My router says :
Modem Status  Connected
DownStream Connection Speed 13238 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 440 kbps
VPI 0
VCI 38

Phone exchange:
    ABERDEEN DENBURN
Estimated line speed:
    7 - Checked on 2010-02-28 22:21:09
Current line speed:
    11000
So why is my connection so slow? Do I need to tick a box to move to ADSL2+?

Re: premium internet but 2mb/s speeds

You are already on ADSL2+,  connection speed would be no larger than 8128kbps if you weren't.
Both the IP profile shown by the BT speedtester, and Current line speed shown in the Member Centre are correct for your connection/sync speed.
The speed shown by the BT Tester could be wrong - perhaps just busy. What do you get from Plusnet's mybroadbandspeed tester http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk?

That's really not good. Sad
Everything on your account seems fine, so I've asked one of our faults guru's to take a look and see what the line tests say. I'll come back once I have an update.
