Have you got a different ADSL splitter you can try? The upstream frequencies are right next to the voice band and it sounds like you've got almost no usable frequency bins low down.. what modem/router?

Martin Imber - If you have an NTE5 main socket, plug router just into it's test socket.  The biggest reason for poor DSL is often internal wiring to extensions.  Thats not to say the underground wiring (and overhead, if applicable) isn't suffering the current high water table.


My own line length is 3.5km (despite only being 1.5m from exchange, most direct road route), but I still manage approx 6Mb down, 456k up sync speed.

Additionally, is this sync speed, as reported by your hub, or a speedtest result?

Get your speed test done...

http://www.speedtest.net for a more accurate transfer speed...

use http://www.speedtester.bt.com to get information for your BB supplier... Make notes of everything it tells you to tell your supplier...

Anything other than using the speedtest@startup_domain is fruitless when you have an issue - you need to completely disconnect yourself from the internet and the ISP.

That said, when I left earlier, one of the speedtesters was broken - I did contemplate staying with it, but I couldn't take any more BS from prats today. So I handed it over to the 24hr peeps  :-[

I like to run the speedtest.net purely to get an idea as to what is happening, more of a case to confirm that their is something wrong, before I boot my wife off her computer and run the bt speedtester...

It definately has its uses, but some people put too much emphasis on it - almost if its related to penile size ;D

Considering I can only get a 3mb connection, it most certainly isn't...

ePeen! ;D

And all this talk of speed made me look at mine .. and notice that something has gone horribly awry with my Virgin connection (speed has dropped off to ~7MB and the receive power has jumped from ~1dBmV to 10dBmV which is far too night)

Anyhoo back to poor Martin with his upstream that's slower than a 1200/75 split rate modem ;D

I wonder if I could interest him in the 56K modem I've just found in my loft? ;)

As Jamie says these programs are not good but are usefull to provide comparison data. 

I checked my modem before diung the speed test so if you compare numbers then quite a difference.

Modem Status
      
Connection Status               Connected
Us Rate (Kbps)               448
Ds Rate (Kbps)               7328
