Currently my Sync Speed, fluculates all over from it's highest of 2180 kbps down to 1256 kbs as it's been stuck on for 2 days, making using the internet a nightmare and gaming a no go. I have to do a full reset every hour or so now.
When the modem was synced at 6000 kbs, it only ever flucuated by 500 kbs and never had any lag or constant drop outs at those settings.
It took a little bit of nagging and not letting things lie, after my initial install, to get it up to around 6000, which my neighbours do get with other ISP's. This seems to last for roughly 4 weeks, then if the modem is switched off, over night kaboom, back down to appauling levels.
Everything is connected through the master socket, and tests done wired and wirless. BT Line checkers when done, did show line speeds of 6000... now it just either come sup with error messages or only capabale of 2.2meg. Which made me scratch my head a bit and wonder if i am getting confused over something.
It would not be so bad if i lived out miles away from an exchange, as i never expect to get anywhere near full adsl speeds, but i am 1.3km away, and was getting decent connection speeds and 3 times faster than what VM are telling me my connection is capable of now. Just getting confused and a little angry now at the way things seem to be going.
Don't get me wrong, when i was synced at near 6000 my VM ADSL was the bees knees, and could not fault it. Now after over 10 years with TW, then BY now VM I may just pack it all in.

yes my sync speeds have def changed, according the the routers homepage.
It's now 1280 kbs, last week 2112 kbs. It used to show hovering roughly around the 6000 never lower than 5400 kbs for weeks on end, even after powering down overnight.
I lost the line sysnc when i swictched off for a week, while on holiday, and it's never been right since, and being told the exchange and line is not capable of reaching those speeds, when clearly they did constantly reach prior to this.
