Hi All - apologies if this is a really stupid question, but is the max connection speed reported via telnet in DSLstats what I could actually get from my line if I upgraded my BB package?
I'm currently on a BT 40/20 package (can't remember what is was called at the time), but from the so called upgrade offers for existing customers what's now called "Fibre 2" is £5 cheaper than taking the "Fibre plus Halo 1" option. Don't really need the benefits (minimal as they are) of what you get with Halo, but unhelpfully the d/l speed range quoted by BT for both options is the same.
So I thought I'd check what DSLstats reports to see if there was anything that might help me decide if it's worth upgrading or not. But I'm far from an expert in understanding line stats so I just wanted to check that the Max Connection Speed reported is what I could actually achieve if I upgrade to the Fibre 2 plan.
It may not actually be worth it as I'm getting good d/l and u/l speeds at the moment anyway - aging but solid HG612 and averaging around 38Mbps/18Mbps - although looks like I could get up to approx. 60Mbps (telnet reporting 63,000 Kbps). So not sure I would really notice an appreciable difference, although an increase in speed can't be bad I guess. Thanks.
