The commonest cause of poor speeds, especially with ADSL2+, is your own wiring.
Checked all the wiring when I got ADSL Max and my wiring is not the issue here. Plus, I often check that nothing has so to speak changed. But it doesn't hurt to check again just in case.
Meanwhile, post the full stats here for more advice.

Some MSAN's use the Fujitsu and others the Huawei Infineon - have you tried IDing the remote chipset of the msam youre attached to?
Well the ST585 is reporting IFTN as Remote. Do you think that this is questionable? EDIT: Searched for IDing, but cannot find it. What it is?
I'm definitely not impressed with the 585v7 (same BCM chipset) but with different board.. so bear in mind that its not always down the chipset... and theres a few other things such as board and firmware that can make a difference.
Good point. HW can be so fickle as we are all well aware.
However, If you are looking for a cheap 2nd router then you could do much worse than trying an ex-sky DG834GT.
I need a spare router in any case plus for trouble shooting it's also indespensible.
Its often a case of suck it and see without any guarantees Im afraid.
Yes, I know what you mean, hence me trying to get a feel for the 834GT and a cheapy (£15) at that as I don't want to spend serious money on a piece of HW that may possibly spend most of it's life in the cupboard.
'I don't think BT seem to have ADSL2+ quite right yet'. You can say that again !!!!
Snap.
Many thanks for the info
