Yeah the stuck bRAS for some reason did seem to affect those that were on the better lines - These were previous 2Mb lines that were stuck with a 2Mb bRAS profile. I believe BTw has supposedly fixed the major causes of this.
However there is the odd one or two that still creeps through..
One of those that I saw within the past couple of weeks was actually stuck at 512kb - which happened to be the service he was on previously.
Therefore it follows that if you had a stuck bRAS then you would also be stuck at 512kb speeds.
When you get a stuck bRAS.. your connection just continually *flatlines* at that particular speed.
Since you have been getting 117kB/s (936 kbps) which seems spot on for 1Mb.. then I dont think you have this problem.
As mentioned your bRAS profile will be taken from the lowest sync speed over the past few days.
Theres a table at the bottom of the page which shows what throughput speed you will likely get based on your minimim sync speed.
http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/maxdsl2.htmSo you can see from that if 2114 was your minimum sync speed then you would expect your throughput speed to be 1.5Mb.
If there is periods when you only get 30KB (240kbps) and this only happens during peak times, then there could be other reasons why you see these lower speeds such as contention.
If it was your bRAS limiting you to 256, then I would expect you to be limited to this 24/7 for a few days, as it will take 3 days of consistantly higher sync speeds to raise your profile back up again.
Your ISP should be able to tell you your bRAS profile.
One of the unfortunate things about maxdsl is, that BTw can drop your profile within about 75mins if you get a lower sync speed, yet it takes up to 4 days before it is raised.
