Terrible Speed?!

[sdreppa]

I'm new to adsl24 and, as the crow flies, i am less than 500 metres away from the exchange. However I am only receiving test results of 840k download speeds and 27k uploads! I am connected through an adsl2+ router on an 8meg connection. PLEASE HELP!:confused:

[jorkila]

can you do a bt speedtest mate and post the results

[tboorman]

Can you also post the line stats from your router please?

[sdreppa]

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 - 810 kbps

How do i check the line stats from the router?

Probably just BT tester is rubbish?

Same profile for me and similar results:

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
IP profile for your line is - 7150 kbps
DSL connection rate: 832 kbps(UP-STREAM) 8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1382 kbps

If you wish to discuss these results please contact your ISP.

If you are experiencing problems with specific applications, servers or websites please contact your ISP for assistance.



Try the tester at http://www.speedtest.net, although Entanet is bad on weekends regardless:

Are you on wireless or ethernet? Tried any other PC's/routers? No other downloading/uploading going on in background?

[sdreppa]

Using wireless connection to my pc and it cant be moved to try wiring to the ethernet, tried a laptop also but no different. Signal strength is excellent and a colleague of mine with adsl24, who is further from the exchange, says he receives download speeds of over 500k, I never seem to get above 40k.

So have you tried using a laptop on ethernet? There is certainly something wrong with the connection as you should be seeing speeds of up to 6500 kbps.

And you need to eleminate the possibility of a wiring problem in your house cuaisng the issues.

Is the router connected to the master socket? If it's a modern cocket have you tried pluggin it into the internal test socket?
