Hi

I have been running with VDSL from Vodafone for a couple of months. I am probably 2-300 meters from the exchange and have pretty good line Sync speeds see below for all stats. I have however only ever get at absolute best maybe 28Mb downloads when testing althoughin most cases it averages 20Mb. I have had three different modems since I started with Vodafone and as requested waited the mandatory ten days before any changes where made. I am currently runing a DrayTek Vigor 2860 The line sync speed is a lot higher than I have ever achieved in real world and I just assumed that was always going to be the case. The other day when I changed to the Vigor ( I test a few modems from time to time with work) I plugged it in and ran a test pretty much straight away and got just shy of 40Mb though wow thats great, however within an hour I was back to my normal mid 20Mb download. With regards to upload I pretty much always hit my snch speed of 10Mb so that does not seem to be effected.

With regards to wiring I have a single Cat 5 going to the modem with no other lines in the house this is terminated where the splitter was installed by the Tech at the Demarc, so cabling is pretty mint I use VOIP so no use for any other lines to go anywhere. I am on the 8b profile and assume maybe when i plugged in the new Vigor I may have ended up on the 17a never checked hence the higher speeds, the whole DLM system seems a bit flawed to me and really before getting on the phone to Vodafone and pulling my hair out I thought I would try here and see what people thought. I am in no way expecting the results to be right up with the line speed by just about half seems wrong. I deal with VDSL connections to a certain extend on a day to day and all the ones I have tested seem to hit the sync pretty much give or take.

Thanks in advance
