Eleanor Rose King:
How accurate is something like this graph,

Because I am about 1.1km from my cabinet and yet sync at 55/10 for Infinity 1 and get about 52mbps on speed tests. According to that I should be getting much less.

Also, I might as well ask this here: I have only had BT Infinity a couple of months and I keep reading about DLM. Next month I am planning to do some decorating, how likely is it that my speed will drastically reduce just from turning the hub off. Note I would not be turning it on/off constantly - it would just be switched off once and then be stacked up with the rest of the furniture from the room before being plugged back in again maybe a day or so later. I can use the 4G on my phone whilst it's off.

Ronski:
All lines varies so use that graph as a rough guide.

The fact you're syncing at 55/10 suggests your attainable speed is higher. Are you 100% sure your on the cab you think you are on? Are you rural? Some rural lines have 0.9mm copper. I'm sure other forums members can tell you more and would be interested in line stats.

Turning your modem off as you describe won't affect the DLM, it only gets upset if you keep turning it on and off, its recommended to leave it off for at least 30 minutes each time, so you'll be fine.

Eleanor Rose King:
I'm not complaining to be doing better than I should be per the graph, mind you. But I just wonder how normal this is?

This is my BT DSL checker information, phone number removed obviously. https://images.imgbox.com/45/f0/HEyRVsM4_o.jpg

The cabinet number of 28 would appear to match the 'p28' from the Code Look site dunno what the p stands for. According to Code Look post code check I am 1,061m from the cabinet.

My attainable speed is 74 odd down and 30 odd up according to hub stats but I won't get the 80/20 boost for Infinity 1 as I have only been on infinity 2 months (infinity is a recent install at the cabinet here or I'd have been on much sooner). People who have got the boost have had emails saying 'you've been with us 1000 days etc. I have been with BT phone for years but was on TalkTalk Adsl - switched as soon as fibre became available.

tubaman:
With an attainable speed like that I wouldn't have thought that you are more than 300 - 400m from your cabinet.
Code Look must be wrong in this case.

Eleanor Rose King:
Just to check I am looking at the right thing for attainable speed?

Is it maximum data rate in the hub settings? Or do I need to be looking somewhere else?
