Thanks for the update and Im so glad they found and fixed the culprit.
Thats good news
Funny enough Ive heard of another incident of late which involved a neighbours faulty skybox!
>> they told me 512k was the fastest I could get on this line.
That will now depend on your line being stable and what happens in the evenings over the next few days.
If the line remains stable and the SNRM doesnt start dipping then theres hope that the line will be capable of higher speeds.
Your current SRNM of 15dB looks fine and if it stays that way then you should be able to support a 1Mb fixed line.
Due to the length of your line.. things could go a bit more weird on Maxdsl so I think Id be inclined to see how things go for a short while before going for an upgrade.
>> Virgin to raise the BRAS profile to a fixed 1Mb,
bRAS/IP profiles arent applicable to fixed rate lines, so rebooting the router isnt going to make much difference. I think what I'd do if I were you would be continue to monitor your SNRM for a week or so, making sure that there arent any nasty dips.

Back to that again.. unfortunately your line will have been profiled as this due to the problems that have been caused by the REIN issue.
If your line is stable for a period of time.. then you can go back to your ISP and say.. look there was a REIN fault that has now been fixed and my line is now perfectly stable.. could you at least try putting me on a fixed 1Mb account.
