Sorry shiplu... Id typed out a reply then lost it :/
tries again
>> after I moved my computer in new position, could that have caused it.
Its not impossible, - ask mr_chris who moved stuff around in his room, and a previously stable 8Mb connection is now proving troublesome.
I suppose the only way you will know for sure is moving things back as they were again.
As a test you could try just laying the cable round the room the other way

I know it may look messy but this is just for testing purposes to see if things improve.. and if they do, then its worthwhile seeing if you can keep the cable away from the back of the tele.
Its sometimes hard to know where the noise is coming from.
Fitting a NTE5 adsl filtered faceplate may also help
Out of curiousty which modem is it.. and is the xbox hooked up to your adsl connection too.
A rather expensive solution (thats not guaranteed), is purchasing a wireless router thats known to work well with lowSNR lines, and have it plugged straight into the phone socket.
---------------------------------------
On the plus side, it does seem like things are slowly improving.
It takes a full 3 days synced at the higher speeds before you will actually see the increased throughput speed.
Your attenuation isnt particulary high.. therefore I would expect you to get much higher speeds than you are currently seeing. Your SNRMargin has a lot of leeway there too.
If you reconnected now.. based on those stats you would probably sync at an even higher speed. However.. the downside is that if you do that.. then your SNRMargin drops as the day wears on (as it will likely do), then you may find yourself resyncing at a lower speed if the SNRMargin drops too low.
If you can keep your connection up as it is now (without dropping), then there is a good chance that in 3 or 4 days time, then your speed will increase to 2.5Mb
It maybe worthwhile monitoring your SNR Margin and sync speed over the next few days to see whats happening.
Its possible that things are now just resettling down after you moving things around.
Therefore if I were you I think I may be temped to leave things as they are for the next few days (keeping an eye on what your line stats are doing).. and seeing if you can get the 2.5Mb throughput.
Then after the 4 days.. if things have proved stable on your current sync speed
and if your SNR Margin hasnt dropped too low... you could perhaps see if you can try for 3Mb again.
