Im having a problem getting telecom to fix my line.. a little background info: i live in a boarding hostel (supervisor of high school kids)ive been here for about a year and its always been this slow. We are on the go large plan, as you can imagine we have about 10-15 people on at once and they are all downloading or going on youtube, just basically would suck any data cap dry.. The problem isnt with the go large, the modem only ever connects at around 700k.. i havve a friend that is further down the road that connects at a solid 6mps.. heres the dump from my router which is a 3com, we had a linksys that did the same..

As far as i can tell the attenuation is fairly high, but the noise margin is good? like i said earlier, my friend down the road connects at a far better speed, i thought he was further from the exchange but i guess he could be closer but hes only 500mtrs down the road..
im concerend with the errors.. this router was just restarted and there are that many errors.. whats causing this? and how do i recitify it? i got telecom to do a port reset but that acheived nothing. Id be happy with a 3mb connection!!!!!! anything better than im getting.. more than 5 people on the net and it grinds to a standstill...
Thanks for any help!

I would log a fault with the Xtra helpdesk saying that your line speeds are slow.

They should be able to do a few tests to see how the line is performing, as well as potentially measure the distance you are from the exchange/dsl equipment. If the connection speeds are significantly lower than what is expected at that distance, you might be able to get a tech sent out if it is a line fault.
