your line is on starting profile ask for dlm to be run or if possible some agents can manually set the line to correct level

A handy tool on the forum has given me this in regards to your line:

ADSL2+ Speed Test
We estimate your line is capable of between 16mb to 24mb broadband on an ADSL2+ service.

This ADSL2 Line Speed Calculator is a best guess only, as to the broadband speed that maybe possible on your telephone line. The checker provides results of up to 24mb with the data that is made available to us. This is purely for indication only and should not be classed as the Line Speed that you would receive on any ADSL or LLU product from another ISP.

If you have just joined Sky, so have been connected within the last 10 days, then your line is currently running DLM, it starts at the lowest speed and then increases it for 10 days. When it finishes it locks you at the highest possible speed your line can handle with the least errors.

Hope this helps.
