Sky ADSL1 up to 16 meg ?

[old bill]

Well Skys CS have at the moment uncapped my line . I think DLM has now finished (I hope). I was trying to change one or two things using the DMT tool on my ST 585. I changed the line back to normal ADSL and lowered my NM. I was expecting my line to sync a 8096 which I thought was the max on Skys ADSL. Instead I got this.

Line attenuation 44 nm 6 downstream sync 8288.

So how high can you sync on Skys ADSL1 package ?

Yes, as Redwarfcrew has posted, the theoretical limit for G.DMT aka ADSL1) is ~12,000kbps though in the real world you're unlikely to see above ~10,500kbps - and that would be with an exceptional line (very short and quiet).
