You know even though I can't open some e- mails and can't often play little u- tube clips
I wouldn't trade for another house right next door, across the road and round the back etc and neighbours I didn't even know the names of
Sooner or later it will come - it's just successive government fails to consider that we don't all live in town. however we can mobilise another village are putting thier own in and Abbeystead estate nearby are said to have one of the fastest in the UK ( paid for by the landlord)

Well an update, they said yesterday the problem was fixed so did another speed check still 6.5 down BUT the up had risen to 1.8/9 ish so from that I presumed we where back on vdsl.
so opened the router to check and it reported 28828 kbit/sec down and 2000 up, so did all checks to test and couldnt get over 6.5 spent the last 2hrs to talktalk and they cannot understand the issue and have no answer they are sending out a new router for me to test, it is strange because one of the speed tests shows the performance in a graph and that shows the down load shoot straight up to 15 ish and then immediately drop to 6.5 where it flat lines.
So now have to wait till the new router arrives to test again.

Good luck! I told them where to go with full info from my modem back to their exchange side equipment. Proving it was faulty, they released me from the contract with no penalty charges. Been with Zen since without issue. I was only with talktalk after they swallowed up f2s and then I moved house. Never again!

Well as promised by TALKTALK new router turned up this morning, just connected up and tested with config as it arrived, and OOKLA speed check reported 30M down !! so copied the config file from old router to new one and it reported same 30M down load speed, so All good, on the western front.
It seems like openreach somehow had spiked the old router, even though it was still working but capped at 6.5M !!

I think it had learned the line charecteristics and they had been cached in your modem, and would have been retrained in the forthcoming days if left alone rather than any malicious intent on behalf of OR to deprive you of your cod fix. By introducing a different modem the tr69 server kicked off this process quicker and you got your speed just fyi. You dont pay for a 30M connection, you pay for a tiny share of a 30M connection, or your broadband would cost a lot more.
Ill just leave this here, it always makes me giggle when I hear people moaning about how slow their internet is, I can hear the sounds of tiny violins playing in the background

Why would it be showing / reporting 28/32M download but only giving 6.5 to each computer then ? it had been working fine up till the engineer disconnected me!

snr had'nt altered ! my line has been and is excellent ie when bt told me the max I could get would be 4 M by adjusting my snr I could get it to 8128 on an 8m connection.

Sort of kind of, its not all at the customer end too, and there's profiles which define how your shaped and all sorts of complexity, I'm not going to discuss its inner workings but I found this already out there that discusses it in detail.
