Re: my current dowload/upload speed
The package sets the maximum speed, hence "up to".
The actual speed achieved depends on the distance from the exchange and the line quality.
If you post your stats and speedtest result we can advise whether you are getting the speed you could/should.

Re: my current dowload/upload speed
@Duff_Beer, that "Line Attenuation 15.5 db 31.5 db" might be a glitch.
Loads of users have reported there attenuation drop to 15.5db (see threads on "15.5db Attenuation Bug", Simply reboot the router and that should change.
Your real Downstream attenuation is probably around ~50db+ as you have a very high Upstream.

Re: my current dowload/upload speed
Yep, Max is "upto 16mb" and based on your attenuation and trying to keep it as stable as possible, Its spot-on.
