    I'm on the 'Unlimited' Option 2 and seems like I cannot get above 1.2Mb at the moment.
    Nope - whenever I have had speed drops its always been down to the usenet provider .

    So Astraweb is fucked again then?
    I'm thinking BT are doing things without saying so.

    I've tried all different Astraweb servers will all their different ports and cannot get over 1.5Mb.

    My speed at the moment is measured at 6.5Mb.

    I've not had any issues here this weekend with Astraweb mate - any particular downloads as sometimes I've noticed Astraweb is slow serving particular things? So one NZB might run like crap but the second the next kicks in it flies again!

    im getting 5.0mb from newshosting right now slower than usual..

    its worth noting that a lot of news servers are located in the Netherlands and because of rerouting due to a major fibre outage these speed could be a side affect.

    Been with BT Infinity for 3 months and cannot fault it. Been enjoying 52Mb since connection day. A small problem they will not inform you of is the DLM on the lines is too sensitive.

    I had a fault with my line when I first had it installed and the DLM had penalised me for it.
    Since, I've been maxing out my IP Profile, so I phoned BT to tell them.
    I was told that the IP Profile was a fixed value and nothing could be done, so I accepted I'd only ever get 52Mb.

    3 days later, My IP Profile has adjusted (coincidence?) and I am now up to 64Mb and I'm still maxing it out.
    The engineer who repaired my line told me there was no reason my line cannot cope with 80/20 profile, so I can't help thinking BT have been holding me back for 3 months.

    I've requested an IP Profile reset, but told they are not allowed to authorise an engineer call out for it.

    Anyone else experienced this?
