Hi all,

My usual sync speed has been around 4 to 5Mbps, however for the past 2 weeks, my sync speed has dropped to 2 to 3.5, depending on the time of day. I know it isn't a big drop for many of you, but considered my usual speed, it's almost 50% slower, which annoys me greatly.

I am considering getting a master splitter installed, and maybe take a look at the wires, but I am not hopeful this will resolve my problem, as the chorus guy couldn't find anything wrong with it a year ago. My house is also around 15 years old.

I tried ringing Telecom (My ISP), they did their basic line test whatever, from my expereinces that never actually does anything except finding out i'm currently connected or not. They just insist that as long im above 2Mbps, it is acceptable, so i'm not eligble for a port reset. I do sometimes get below 2Mbps but I will have to wait till that happen before I try to call them again.

But is there any other way to convince them to do a port reset? I heard most of the time it solve people's problem, even if it's just temporary.

I live in Eden Terrace, pretty close to the edge of city exchange, however it is not far away enough to have a cabinet on our street. There is a cabinet in the next street through!! yay...!

I have tried rebooting my router(s) many times over the past week, different times of the day, including after mid night and early morning. I did isolation tests, different filters. I live in a small 3 story townhouse with 2 phone sockets, no alarms.

I don't expect to increase my sync speed above 5Mbps, I just want my usual sync speed back...

Thanks in advance!
