Also, it rather depends on what package you are on. Presumably, the maximum speed for your package is 8mbps?

Sorry, took a while to find out how to do this on a BT HomeHub. You have to go into Settings/Advanced Settings/Broadband/ADSL...
Noise margin (Down/Up) 16.1 dB / 11.3 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up) 40.4 dB / 19.4 dB
Output power (Down/Up) 6.2 dBm / 1.3 dBm
The Download speed today has dropped to 1144Kbps, which is worrying because I fitted a BT Broadband Accelerator yesterday. Perhaps I should remove it again?
