Hi all, I'm with BT on 1MB. I want to upgrade to 3MB (or even 10MB on Telewest/NTL). I phoned up BT, gave 'em my details etc. and the max they said my line can handle is 1MB because of my distance from the exchange and I'm (at maximum) 5KM away from it which, to be honest I think is total bullsh*t because my friend lives a few houses behind me (makes him futher from the exchange) and hes on 2MB with NTL and he gets full speeds [I'll post his stats if you'd like to look at them]. Anyway, heres my stats;
Port Status TxPkts RxPkts Collisions Tx B/s Rx B/s
WAN PPPoE 5760976 8586220 0 6461 11681
Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 1152 kbps 288 kbps
Line Attenuation 53 db 15.5 db
Noise Margin 20 db 25 db
What's the max. you think I guys could get? Cheers :D
