Is it only Bill an Me capped to 2mb ?

[Xbandito]

ah well....BT all over 

[Jeff]

 The only way contention will be a thing of the past is if BT were to invest some of the billions and billions of pounds profit they have made from us over the years, into ensuring that there is enough capacity in exchanges to cope with demand.

Did a little thinking before (dangerous, I know) but there have been 6 housing estates built within the last 6 months in my area. Has this been provisioned in the exchange? Apparently not This is without the natural progression of people migrating from Dial-up/ISDN and upgrading to higher speeds.

[Bill]

You expect forward planning?

I live in the South-east, right? Where are all the water shortages? Where are the new houses being built at the whim of that fat git Prescott.... 

OK, rant over for tonight...

[Jeff]

Hey, there`s a special place here just for you

[Bill]

Phssttt... I'd just heard a clip on the local news muttering about hosepipe bans and water meters and standpipes etc, and read your post at the wrong moment 

[Jeff]

You`d think they could build a pipeline North to South in this day and age, we`ve loads of water up here! Then again, water board could just fix all the leaks in existing, can`t remember exactly how many millions of litres are wasted thru leakages :\

    3311 Kbps (413.9 KB/sec)     3575 Kbps (inc. overheads)....this morning

[Coopes]

Mine has gone up twice this morning 2688 to 2912 to 2944 if it keep going at that I should
hit the 3500 that bt say I should be getting.

Mark you spend more time on here that I do

[MarkZX12R]

Well now that i am on my own once again ...i can spend as much time as i want on the net without the fear of the silent treatment and as i work at home the skys the limit!

[Xbandito]

You`d think they could build a pipeline North to South in this day and age, we`ve loads of water up here!

Well the water here in North Wales, supplys the likes of Manchester, Liverpool etc etc.......and Guess what, we pay more in water rates than they do...yet we supply them   

[Coopes]

Just been made redundant mate so on here all the time looking for work. what job do you do Mark

[MarkZX12R]

I`m a registered carer and i fix pc`s part time

[Coopes]

I fix pc as well, trouble is to many people at it to make a living at it
and when you try to get a job in I.T everybody wants experiance.

[MarkZX12R]

I dont want to make a living at it, i hate the things but i know what you mean, lots of people doing it around here. the trouble is that i spend so much time sorting other peoples pc`s that i neglect mine

   3311 Kbps (413.9 KB/sec)     3575 Kbps (inc. overheads)....this morning

Isn`t Max strange, I`m synced at 7.008Mbit and my throughput is 425KB/sec

[cavillas]

 ;DI'm synched at 5.5 and dl at 4-4.5

[Xbandito]

Synced at 7.616mbit and speed test gives me 547.85kbps (downloading at 626kbps) just to throw a spanner in the works 

[BulletRAFC]

I'm sync'd 3520 kbps (d/l) and 448 kbps (u/p) with a speed test of 2479 Kbps, and i'm currently downloading at 360 kB/s

[Bill]

The cap appears to be being lifted...

[Glenn]

I'm sync'd at 3624 but I'm not even getting 512 speeds

http://www.adslguide.org.uk/tools/speedchart.asp?id=a104a36410a6abdc7bc4396367e

[MarkZX12R]

4384 kbps sync and speed is 3289 kbps which i will be more than happy with if it stays that way.

Noise and Atten. figures look to be ok...I guess I just need to site here and continue to wait out at < 2Mb speeds  oh well....

[Jeff]

There aren`t too many errors in there neither Scott

[Scott]

Yeah 

Looks pretty good for a decent connection...I wonder if the BT learning algo is just sitting there going...."come on....there MUST be something wrong on this line...let me disconn and synch lower...go on...please" 

Hopefully as they say no news is good news and my synch will be <> speeds once it stops watching the line 

[Jeff]

Summit else I read yesterday, apparently BT are purposely holding back on throughput until MSR is set during the 10 day training period as they are more interested in what lines can actually sync at. This would explain the poor throughput reported by a lot of people and indeed, those with apparently good connections stuck on 2Mbit throughput :\
