What an excellent business plan!!
Quote from: Oldjim One thing does stand out - with that attenuation and noise margin I would have expected much faster speeds.
This from my system
Noise Margin: 8.1 dB
Connection Rate: 3808 Kbps
Line Attenuation: 51.0 dB
Power: 19.0 dBm
Note that speeds and noise margin are very similar but my attenuation is much higher
The point about this is that it indicates a fairly noisy line and if the noise got much worse the error rate could jump to the point where speeds are seriously affected
Any suggestions as to how I can test noise Oldjim or what other steps I can take?
As the others have said, those statistics look OK for a connection that has been settled and stable, otherwise your downstream Noise Margin could have been a lot higher (the 9.2dB figure would have been around 15dB) and your profile would have been less than 3000 kbps.
You said that you had started to run Routerstats yesterday. So, it would be a good idea to monitor that downstream Noise margin via that.
If you can wait until Routerstats has been running for at least 24 hours, you should be able to view a graph of the Noise Margin. The norm is for that to gradually decrease during the afternoon and early evening (by up to 3dB) and then recover during the next morning.
If you get something other than that normal pattern then there may be a technical issue nearer home than the BT exchange, otherwise it is much less likely that the fault is in your hardware or wiring.
However, I still have a feeling that your problem may be partly subjective
(due to bad websites) and compounded by other multiple small factors.
I'm sorry that you appear to be getting contradictory responses in this topic, but people are just keen to help.

They look very much like the stats from a Netgear DG834 series to me where each cell is on a new line.
RouterStats is designed for these and can be downloaded from http://vwlowen.co.uk/internet/files.htm#routerstats
If you get that running we will be able to walk you through finding the error rates. They are available through the telnet tab.

Your version of RouterStats is somewhat behind the times Jim! (I know - if it ain't broke, don't fix it).
Given the number of times I have been to that site recently - and forgot to check the version -

OK Jim,
Just that I think that we sometimes don't ask for mmore details of peoples lines when they have problems. What time of premises - flat, house etc etc - age iof property and therefore telephone line etc etc as this can really effect the quality of line in some cases.
After all one would expect any property development, especially new streets / estates / flats etc built in the last 10 to 20 years to have all new underground cable and therefore much much less likely to be of good quality.
