After over 10 minutes letting my router cool off (turned it off from the plug) here are the stats:
ADSL Link----------------------Downstream-------------Upstream
Connection Speed---------------576 kbps----------------448 kbps
Line Attenuation-----------------63.0 db-----------------31.5 db
Noise Margin---------------------9.6 db------------------15.0 db
Before I turned the router off, the 'Noise Margin' Downstream was 6.5 db, but it's back up now after resetting. Seems like the 'Connection Speed' Downstream has changed for the worse, too.
After typing this, and refreshing the stats page the 'Noise Margin' Downstream is 12.0 db.
I love how the title of this thread is 'Small connection issue' when it clearly isn't, and there is 6 pages of replies! Maybe it should be renamed to "*Small* connection issue" for sarcasms sake. ;D

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.

How am I meant to get an engineer out when Virgin think there is nothing wrong with our line/connection and that it is functioning as normal. I would have to blatantly lie to them for them to send out an engineer.
