Diagnostic tests show the following
Download speedachieved during the test was - 5505 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :8128 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 8128 kbps 448 kbps
Line Attenuation 23.0 db 14.0 db
Noise Margin 16.1 db 26.0 db
And your email shows this -
Now that your service has now been active for 14 days, we thought we'd let you know the speed as it stands today, by way of comparison.
Estimated line speed: 15Mbps
Current line speed: 7.15Mbps
You can keep a track of your line speed through our website:
https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer_speed
Obviously, since this is seemingly half of what is expected, it's why I'm asking this question.
Also, our upload is having problems when connecting to shoutcast servers to allow friends to listen. Our upload speed should support this service and yet it's having a lot of problems with buffering on their end, obviously meaning something is wrong in transition from our end to the servers. Any idea if traffic shaping is to blame for this, or will one of the things most enjoyable about using the internet not be a possibility on this connection?
thanks

Quote Uptime: 1 day, 9:32:20
DSL Type: G.992.5 annex A
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 890 / 16,671
If it says G.992.5 ( or G.DMT2+ ) as above then your are on ADSL2+ , if it says G.992.1 ( or G.DMT ) then its ADSL1.
With your attenuation you should get a much improved speed on ADSL2+, so if its currently ADSL1 then raise a ticket asking for it to be upgraded to ADSL2+.

However according to this http://www.adslgeek.com/dslmodem/Netgear/DGN2000/
Quote How to check ADSL status
In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Router Status to display the Router Status screen.
Click the Show Statistics button to display modem router usage statistics.
Maybe that might give some more information...

You could try
Quote To enable telnet just switch your router in debug mode:
http://<router_address>/setup.cgi?todo=debug
and then telnetting into the CLI
telnet://<router_address>
if that works then the command adslctl info -show should give the information you need
see this thread http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php?PHPSESSID=8092ec1d65344d03c46077ac347fe90a&topic=5629.15

That bit loading chart looks great, you should be cooking on gas well above 13Mbps with those stats....
You could try and force the DGN2000 onto ADSL2+ G.992.5 instead of the ADSL2 G.992.3
adslctl configure --mod p

There's a good chance that one of the Digital Care team will pick up on this thread tomorrow and sort out replying to your ticket and getting you on ADSL2+.
With your line you should see a BIG improvement.
