| 1227036 | 2011-08-30 00:44:00 | Out of the blue I'm on ADSL2+. I suddenly noticed speeds of 9.6/.95, so I checked the router and there it was! All the docs and lists said it wouldn't be till December, which it is why it is all a bit of a surprise. I rebooted the router and I'm now getting >10.5. So the question is, are there any tweaks I can do to squeeze even more speed out? The router is set to all the default settings, and the status page says Line Rate 12525 Kbps 1114 Kbps Attainable Line Rate 15316 Kbps 1160 Kbps So it looks like there could be a bit of headroom. In the meantime I'll enjoy the increased speed. |

| 1227039 | 2011-08-30 01:47:00 | It is fairly normal Tony for your actual speed to be a bit lower than your Line rate. I would say you are getting as fast as your line allows the moment. The condition of your home wiring plays a big part and sometimes getting a full install done with a main splitter and a dedicated line to one phone jack is the only way to get any further increase in speed. |

Not sure about the dedicated line. Is there any way I can check that out without gettoing a technician in? |

| 1227043 | 2011-08-30 02:08:00 | If you have a central splinter then that's an indication you already have the good wiring. It's not really a dedicated line but rather a dedicated jackpoint. Adsl2+ goes up to around 24m but you have to be very close for that speed. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1227045 | 2011-08-30 04:12:00 | Well, it looks like I do have a dedicated line. I certainly couldn't get the router to connect when I plugged it into a different point from the usual one. | Tony (4941) | ||
