NP.

You just need a [ /quote] (no space) at the end of the piece you're quoting, then add your reply after the closing bracket (preferably with a couple of carriage returns...

Wow -- my speed test is fantastic. I was promised up to 4 kbps... the test comes out 5.251 kbps.  :thumb:

Upload is 366 kbps.

Wow.

Great news, LinLin. If you can get a BT test at some time, that will tell us what your profile is set to. (http://test.speedtester.bt.com:50301/)

How is this possible? Again, I was told to expect up to 4 kbps. I just tried a different server site (limerick) on speedtest.net, and it came out even higher than the last one -- 6.682 kbps.


The BT test you linked to showed:
    IP profile for your line is - 7150 kbps
    DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)  8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 6525 kbps

not sure what it all means, but there it is.

It means that you have an excellent connection LinLin. :thumb:

That's the one that matters, LinLin.

You have the maximum possible sync speed and a profile to match. Allowing for overheads, your connection is going about as fast as is possible (I'm jealous!). Speedtest.net can produce some pretty interesting figures, often faster than is physically possible. I'm not a great fan of the site.

If you check in the Netgear ('show stats' button), what is your downstream attenuation and noise margin?

You even have some noise 'headroom' to play with. That connection should be flat out all the time. (I'll be round to borrow it shortly ;))

http://www.samknows.com/broadband/ should help you find it.

You look to be about 2.5-3km from the exchange.

:blush:  Oops -- yep, that's the one. Just was on the phone to tech support (they were great) and they reminded me the username is admin and the password is password!
I believe that it's recommended that you change the router password to something more secure, LinLin.

Good spot, Noreen, I was so busy making sure everything else was OK, I didn't pick up on that.
