Decreased Speed

[rp1]

I am using the unlimited package, my speed used to be 3Megs and I could download at 300kb/s but now within a day, it went from 3Mpbs>2Mpbs>500kb/s, I then restarted my modem and it went back to 2Mpbs, but i'm downloading at below 200kb/s, how do I get it back to what it was?

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 2042 kbps 604 kbps
Line Attenuation 43 db 26 db
Noise Margin 14 db 16 db

Any noise or issues on your landline telephone?
How many telephone sockets do you use?
Is there a microfilter connected directly into each telephone socket in use, ensuring that nothing is before the filter?
Is the router connected to the master socket or an extension socket?
Are you using the short grey dsl cable that Sky provided, or running an extension telephone cable to the router?
Do you have Sky tv connected to any telephone sockets - if so, how is that connected to the socket?

When the landline telephone rings, the internet connection gets lagged untill it get's picked up.
I use 2 telephone sockets.
There are microfilters connected directly into each phone socket.
The router is connected to the microfilter which is connected to the phone socket.
I'm using the cable that sky provided.
The sky tv isn't conncted to any telephone sockets, at least I don't think so.

Also, my computer & internet (modem) is upstairs, and the main telephone socket is downstairs, and so there is a telephone socket upstairs and one downstairs, I have tried to connect the modem downstairs to the main telephone socket, and then have used a wireless USB adapter to connect it to the computer upstairs, but the connection is bad, so :/.

Running the router off the extension probably isn't helping things, so move it to the master socket and re-post the stats that you get from there.

I have done what you have asked, I have got the exact same stats, nothing changed. :/

Post them anyway, there could be something you're not seeing (e.g. increase of the noise margin)

Do you have a Test socket? If so plug in there using only the cable supplied by Sky and post your stats.
How to test your ADSL in the Master Test Socket

If you only got 3 Mb before, there has always been something wrong with your connection, you should have had 7-8Mb.

They were exactly the same, I checked each stat.

I have a test socket, however, it is jammed close, nothing can open it :/ Also, before(6+months ago) I had a below 1MB/s connection, and I ran up Sky to ask why this was, they then bumped it up to 3MB/s, I asked why it couldn't go higher, they said that my line can only handle 3MB/s

You should move the modem to the master
and ensure that the extension going to upstairs is plugged into the filter
downstairs and not hard wired

If you are unwilling to do that
you will have to suck up slow speeds
its your choice

I did move the modem to the master, I got the same speeds, I'll move the modem back to the master now and leave it there, what do you mean by the second part of what you said?
