    Doing well with UPC on wireless, will have the new 500MB in the next week or two, those results should be interesting

    This test is on an Imagine 8Mb Down/0.7 Up. Nice enough ping for a DSL line

    If your exchange is ADSL2 enabled then you should be able to.

    its a little white box on the roof needing line of site from their transmitter, (the same line of site that the ripplecom was using) so i guess you call that fixed wireless?
    no landline here

    Vodafone 70mb. Usually getting 50+, but noticed pages were loading slowly tonight and checked it, receiving... this. Download speed has gone down every time I've tested it. Simply bizarre.

    Pretty poor show, we're on Vodafone fibre too about 100m from our cabinet, and regularly get 60+. As always with new fibre connections though, you might find it improves over the next week or so.

    It will improve rapidly as the router trains to the exchange.

    What's your attenuation and SNR margin? That's the main consideration. If it's good you can phone Vodafone and they will increase your speed on the spot.

    attenuation 38.5,downstream snr 13.1 downstream line rate 43012kbit/s phoned em tonight. was told that I shouldnt be complaining with the speed max of 43013 is good as there would be "bounceback"(their words) if they increased the speed and as long as I was having no problems then they more or less said tough luck they wouldnt be doing anything. I said surely i should get at least 55-60 wired with being only 120metres from the cabinet and she said no. they deliberatly have maxed my line at 43013 to guarantee me a perfect service.....

    Your attenuation couldn't be 38.5!

    I phoned them twice about increasing my speed and they were excellent and did it no problem.
