Update to previous thread RE: "FTTC available but shocking speed estimate?" and GEA Test

Hello, just thought I would give an update to an older thread.

Original thread

In short: I could order VDSL (5-8mbps) but ADSL checker was showing slower speeds than my ADSL 2+ line (10-20mbps).

I was told my line was over 2km from the cab and I thought that was wrong.

 

Two weeks ago the ADSL checker updated the speed estimate so I promptly ordered.ADSL.png

I have now been connected for little over a week and my speeds are 7714157261

I am unsure as to what could have changed as there were no vans/roadworks in the area as far as I could see. I still think this was some sort of error on the openreach system but I am very glad that it has been sorted out. I was repeatedly told that my line was over 2km to the cab by the openreach when using the contact openreach form.

 

My current stats

I think I have had one disconnect when the line increased in speed overnight (Current and max rate), other than that it has been rock stready.

Could I please have a GEA test on the line?

 

Many thanks.
