Hi everyone i've been on BT Broadband Option1 with the Supposedly good "BT Home Hub" :lol: is there any steps ican take to improve my 500k IP Profile as i have Low Attenuation And Fairly High SNR Margin

Hi there and welcome.

Have a read of http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/lowSNR.htm for some tips on optimising your setup (don't be put off by the references to low SNR, the advice applies anyway). If you could let us know your router stats we could suggest what might be achievable on your line.

Your connection speeds ('bandwidth' in your stats) look a bit odd, and much lower than should be achievable on your line with its fairly low attenuation. I suggest that you switch off the router, give it a few seconds, then switch it on again to see if it comes up with a better speed. You'll have to monitor your stats regularly to see if they change by a large amount at any time, for example when making or answering telephone calls, or when switching electrical appliances on or off. There seems to be something badly wrong, but it there are lots of possible reasons.

I've just done that and seeing as you think those Stats should be getting higher speed then GREAT ;D but i have switched off all eletricals in my house and changed the Wireless Channels but no improvements.

It could simply be BT throttling you?

Surely the sync speed would not also be low if it was throttling. (throttling = they are slowing you down from what the line is capable of)
Sounds to me like a stuck bRas profile.
You won't only have to call India, you'll have to go through all their tests, and I don't know how you convince India to fix it ... I think you have to make level 2 support to do that. Maybe someone here has a shortcut.

No, it's not throttling, and it's not a stuck IP profile for the same reason. If it were either of these things the router would still be connecting at a much higher speed.

It seems to me that it could well be a faulty router. The upstream connection speed is also lower than it should be, and that's quite unusual. If it were caused by interference I would have expected a much lower noise margin. Would it be possible for you to beg borrow or steal a different router to try out?

Are you sure you have ADSL2+? As far as I know, that's only available on cable.
