Is my broadband capped at 128k do you think?

Indeed 

Router Seems to be really quite stable around these values too: 

ADSL Link Connection Speed      Line Attenuation Noise Margin

Downstream        7392 kbps 38.0 db 8.5 db

Upstream 896 kbps 21.5 db 11 db

(p.s. i'm liking the table function on this forum, seems to be some nice plugins)

You're the first one I know who's worked out how it works, including me!

You can see from the code block below that i only use the column function but it worked for what i needed, handy if you are laying out information, and i'm sure you could write an excel macro to inject the forum tags if you needed do anyway, so you could virtually export tables from excel if you wanted.

Finally managed to do a BT speedtest on my Window 7 pc, ended up having to use the 32 bit version of IE8 though:

Download speedachieved during the test was - 6296 Kbps
For your connection, the acceptable range of speedsis 2000-7150 Kbps.
Additional Information:
Your DSL Connection Rate :7392 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 896 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
IP Profile for your line is - 7131 Kbps



Upload speed achieved during the test was - 727 Kbps
Additional Information:
Upstream Rate IP profile on your line is - 896 Kbps

[Rik]

That speed's still a bit slow for the profile.

[gyruss]

Well speed tonight is pretty lousy, had been fine all day, and bt speed tester is not up.



I'm hoping its just congestion, but with the past history of profile issues i've had, its enough to make me go 'oh no '

[gyruss]

Same'ish speed as last night this morning too.. all this started with those bt wholesale messages on friday night.
