Hello,

As per the details that you have provided with you can get somewhere between 3 to 4 megs for sure.

You can go for the 2 Megs package without worrying over it.

Would be able to help more if i had your phone number and postcode

But thats ok the information that you gave is more than sufficient.

Regards,

Brad

You've probably vanished as its been months, but the speeds reported there are your lines capability, i.e. around 4Mb/s downstream and 800kb/s upstream.

If you are only getting 1Mb/s then either your ISP is artificially capping your throughput or they are a rubbish ISP.

You would not be able to order a 2Mb/s fixed rate product on that line, but you can get a "Max" product which will give around 4Mb/s downstream no problems. There are plenty of ISP's, ourselves included, who could help.

What max DSL speed can my line support?

Some statistics:

Distance from exchange: about 1.5km
Line attenuation: 54 downstream, 28 upstream
SNR: 6.1 downstream, 7.0 upstream
Rate (kbps): 4097 downstream, 800 upstream

I got all the values (except distance from exchange) from my router.

Whats the max speed my line can support? Also, is there a way to improve these values so I can support higher speeds?

Btw I'm looking to get a 2mbps DSL connection. Right now I'm using 1mbps which works fine, but I want to know if my line can actually support 2mbps.
