Although it looks like you have a bit more noise on the line than usual, there's still plenty of leeway for higher speeds than you're currently getting. Looks like you're on 12dB margin at the moment. Higher margins are more stable but reduce your speed. 6 is the usual, and 3 is the "fast" option. Perhaps it will come down over time (BT does things the other way round - start low then increase)

Actually 17dB margin on the upstream looks like your upstream might be getting capped at 800Kbps.
Thanks for the information. I'll keep an eye on things over the next 36 hours.
