On yes the last question, why is it you wish to stay with Orange when
they appear to be unwilling to give you a service which they are

Do you seriously think Orange would have contracted with the OP to give him
more than 1M?

Hi All,

Thanks for all your thoughts/ questions.  Here are the answers....

Details from the livebox
----------------------------------------------
Connection mode : ADSL2+
Type : Fast
Noise margin (dB) : 10.1
Attenuation (dB) : 29.5
Attainable download rate (kbps) : 5975

Looking at this, it would appear that they have removed my 1mb
restriction in the last couple of weeks. Amazing. How do these figures
look?

It should run faster than that. This chart says about 15 Mbpshttp://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g300/kirby_pk/internode-adsl2-dist0...

However the cheapskate ISPs are reknowned for throttling connections ( so it
seems ) and blaming it on BT's wires.

Other questions
------------------------

1. Estimated distance by road is about 0.5 mile and as the crow flies
about 0.25 mile

That's high attenuation over that distance.

Thanks for this Graham. Is there anything I can do about the high
attenuation? Will complaining to Orange make a difference (suspect
not but worth a try). I could connect directly to the master socket I
suppose to see if that makes any difference? Will the download speed
increase if I do get better values by connecting directly to the
master socket?

thanks
Lee.
