From what I have read I think that a DACS thingy has been put on my line; apparantly they can do this without as much as a 'by-your-leave' - - -this effectively puts a max speed of 33,600 on connection. I have a thread re this on the other 2 forums ( can I say that ??) - - -will update all when I get some kind of answer.
Take it easy - -
it also means u can't get adsl if they've installed a dax unit the only reason the will remove it is if it's affecting voice calls, they'll dax the line if the have no spare points left at the exchange this effectively cuts the line bandwidth in half.
P.s bt only guarantee u 9600bps on a residential voice line
