Re: [OT] ADSL Max

[Adrian <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was on the Nildram 1 meg service (all i could get from exchange),
after upgrading to MAX (and changing my adsl router out for a adsl2
compatible), the router over the past couple of days has been running at
6.9down/0.448up (was up at 8 at one stage)
although speed tests show i'm only getting on average 3meg down which is
good as its 3 times what i had but not so good as it should be able to
do double that, below is output from router for interested
