Well done Broadbandings for the backdoor to these stats.

Just what I was looking for. Stuart knows what's coming next. What are her neighbour Sarah's stats? He needs ammunition to get BT out to look at the attentuation on what I take to be his pole strung segment (damp, rust, etc).

Downstream attenuation needs to be < 50 dB to have anything like 1 Mbps.

Noise Margin needs to be > 7dB to avoid synch problems.

So, Stuart MUST get the engineers out. We'll be going round in circles otherwise.

Incidentally, I thought Stuart had a BT phone line and a Virgin ADSL (using the Gateway (IP stream)). If it is a Virginphone line it's a strange arrangement since it's a remote exchange and there will be no Virgin LLU, IMO.
