RE: [OT] ADSL Max - New microfilters?

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As I said - one of my lines is running very well indeed with up to
6-7Mbps download (at good times) and average 3-4Mbps at others. The other
two are still in the training period and getting 2Mbps each although synced
at 8. I think it will be a good product once the initial problems have been
sorted (of which there are many). The other problem it seems, is the lack
of good in-depth technical info from BT as to what REALLY happens during
the profile setting period.

It has been a painful process though and some users such as Ian are still
experiencing major problems, quite a way into their install :(

Ian - I presume you've already raised a call with Openreach to check your
physical line quality?

Paul.
