I don't mean to sound a bit daft in the 'computer related' section...but what the hell is a torrent? Lol, I've been seeing that term alot lately. Need to make more of an effort to keep up with the times!

Yep downstream the line attenuation is 45db and noise margin varies between 5db and 12db. I have called Be before and they said my speeds wouldn't necessarily increase from 3-4mb due to the 2 mile distance issue so I was surprised by their honesty and not giving me the hard sell.

My line has similar stats Bob. I'm just over 2km as the crow flies and get just over 10Mb/s with Be and over 1Mb/s upload. It did go up to about 12Mb/s when they put me on Fastpath and changed my profile but it was a bit unstable.

Cheers Dunk. I'm very tempted but was dubious after what Be told me and they even said the speed could be worse than standard adsl at 2 miles distance. I guess if it does prove to be no better and be unstable I can just go back to who i'm with now fairly quickly.

bethere told me I would get 5 at max - get 7 standard and with a bit of tweaking I get 8 ... the only problem is the customer service is getting harder to get hold of because they have more customers and when it comes to BT issues they dont seem to be able to influence BT

DSL ZoneUK - How fast can I get on ADSL2+?
that site says anywhere between 4 and 8 mbps, if you have an snr though of 12 you have some tweakage available there. I reckon you should be looking at about 6 to 7 mbps
