How can I improve my ADSL speed / quality?
Referenced from Mickey’s Guide – provided by SEG Communications
“When ADSL lines were limited to 2Mb/s, many people’s lines could reliably connect at that speed but where they couldn’t (due to line length or quality), the ISP would permanently limit the line speed to what was believed to be prudent. Since the introduction of ADSLMax, it will try to connect at as high a speed as possible based on the current conditions, up to 8Mb/s (the top speed of ADSL).
The speed achieved depends on the conditions of the line, which means that quality of lines has become more important. Line length is an important factor, but as you can’t move your home/office nearer the exchange you can still try to improve your local connections (wiring). In addition, if your line is quite short but connection speeds or reliability are lower than expected, it may be that BT or your ISPs street wiring could be improved.”
