Hi.  With Talktalk on 76Mbps line.   My speeds seem suspiciously round-numbered.  The talk talk rep said these numbers are just what they happen to be for my line.  Would appreciate any views on this.

your line must be a long one at 25 attenuation,  why are you on 80/20 service, its not going to get anywhere near this. For example my line at 14.5 gives me 60-70 tops on the ds..

DS might be banded at 19999?. The 999 is sometimes an indication. Can you see what your max attainable figure is out of interest?

Or they have provisioned you on a 20/2 service.

Max achievable speeds, and the results of a DSL Checker would help.

There is no 20/2 (or is that the old 18/2 (now defunct for new customers)).
The line looks to be on 40/2, so "upto 38Mb" not "upto 76Mb". The 76Mb package cost £5 more, but you wouldn't benefit from it.

The downstream is suspicious with that rounded number, but every now and then a line will sync at a 999 figure by coincidence.
If it is banded, with an snrm of 5.7dB it doesn't look like you're missing out on much. If on a Huawei cabinet the line might have a few more Mb in it at 3dB.

Can you follow this guide and tell us which cabinet type you are on

also if you resync the line is it exactly 19,999 every time?
