Hi Bald_Eagle1,
Thanks very much for looking at this.
Yes 2Mbps is slow but this is the worst case I see. Generally at peak times it drops as low as 3Mbps. First thing in the morning I'm up at 37.5Mbps. I'll need to ask my employer if I can work night shifts
I have had an OR engineer out twice since the installation at the start of December last year. On the first occasion I reported frequent disconnections and poor speeds and he discovered that my line was earthing between the house and the cabinet. He moved me onto a new pair and I assumed it was fixed. The trouble is that the slowdowns only happen at peak times so the speedtests I ran while he was still on the premises looked good.
The work he carried out seemed to fix the disconnections but the speed remained slow at peak times so he was called on again last week. This time he could find nothing wrong with the line and after phoning BT said the issue was at my ISP's end (Plusnet). Plusnet are now investigating whether there are capacity issues.
Due to the work which has been carried out on the line and me changing the modem firmware I have probably had several user initiated disconnects so that may explain the high interleaving values. When I first updated the modem firmware the downstream interleaving was high but upstream interleaving was off.
I am also currently running a ping test at Plusnet's request and I am also getting 4->5% packet loss.
Thanks for pointing out that my firmware is old. I will try and update it over the weekend once the ping test has done 24 hours. I understand that disconnecting the modem for 30 minutes does not cause DLM to intervene?
I will attach my portrait snapshot stats.

Once again, thanks very much for your help. I work in the telecomms industry but I've never needed to look at DSL before so I'm learning in my free time. This website and it's members is the best source of information I've found.
