I seem to be getting ~400 Kbps download speed here, and ~700 Kbps upload (yes, they're both rubbish). Does this seem wrong to anyone, and what could be causing it (apart from the 'acceptable' things like distance from exchange etc.) Edit #1: To Clarify, my sync speeds are:Downstream Rate : 432 KbpsUpstream Rate : 756 Kbps I am currently plugged directly into the test socket on my BT my master socket. I have no other devices except my PC connected. It’s an age-old question: Why are my download speeds so much faster than my upload speeds? To answer that we need to hop in the time-machine to the days of dial-up modems. Don’t worry, we won. Should my Internet upload speed be higher than my download speed? I get about 70 mb /s download and 80, 85 mb/s upload. Sometimes on my phone i had 14 mb download and 40 upload. Dec 03, 2009 We download faster than we upload because of economics, not physics. Why Uploading Is Slower Than Downloading. Users generally aren't picking up their pitchforks and demanding higher. Extremely low download speed and extremely high upload speed. Upload speed higher than my download speed. My download speed is low for some reason. Why is my ADSL download speed lower than my upload speed. Ask Question 2. . Upload speed much higher than. Re: Why is my upload speed double my download speed? PAPERHARBORCO Oct 11, 2016 7:01 AM ( in response to John Getzke ) I restarted the modem, and that helped quite a bit. Edit #2: Spoke to O2 last night and have ended up switching my current Linksys router for O2 wireless box (which doesn't allow ASCII WEP keys, grumble grumble). Strangely, just switching the router for the O2 boosted my download sync to ~550 Kbps. Anyway, the man on the phone adjusted my noise threshold (apparently to make it make it match a 2meg profile) and I'm now getting ~1100 Kbps. I have been advised to check the line stability over the next few days though. I'm still being told that 1100 Kbps is acceptable for a 2 meg quoted line - apparently an actual speed of 30% the quoted speed is the official start of when a line is 'unacceptable' and warrants remedial action. Seems a bit low to me! Edit #3: Finally spoke to BT who performed the line noise check, but couldn't find a problem. They arranged for an engineer to visit. The Engineer has confirmed there is a problem with the line that originates outside the property, and wandered off to the exchange. 'It'll just start to work sometime over the next few days and someone will call to confirm'. Someone called that evening. Am now getting 806 Kbps upload and.. 595 Kbps download! BT are simply fantastic at times.Thanks for all you suggestions and tips. All of them were right in their own way, but unfortunately I can only mark one as the accepted answer, so I feel it's probably best to mark COTW's one as I believe this should have the most significant impact in the long term.My advice for anyone following this to resolve their own issues: try everything. It all helps!

3 AnswersIf you're working through BT and the trouble is at the master socket then BT is responsible for the wiring up to the master socket. Unfortunately, the division responsible for maintaining phone wiring is not the same as the division that does ADSL. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to get the help desk people to raise a ticket so that a line technician will come out and fix the wiring. Initio default controller driver for win7. I had a similar problem once and it took about 6 weeks to get it fixed. From what I can tell, you need to:
One possibility would be to go to another ISP that has a DSLAM at your exchange (maybe Nildram - they have a range of services aimed at SOHO clients). If it is a line problem they will probably do a better job of escalating this to BT's infrastructure people than BT's own ISP does.

Didn't realise that the rates you were giving were sync rates as opposed to transfer rates :) Thats pretty poor alright. Sounds like your line isn't able to handle whatever profile is set. I'd imagine that the reason the upstream isn't affected is probably because its on a different bandwidth to the downstream. Get in touch with your ISP and ask them to check your line's PreQual (what rate your line qualifies for) and then find out if its higher or lower than the profile you're supposed to be on. Yuri on ice sheet music. To avoid any problems/delays in communicating with them, ring them from a mobile phone and say the modem is connected at the main phone point with no other equipment connected. Edit: Sounds like your ISP is giving you the runaround. One way around this would be to report a fault on your telephone (say your calls are noisy or something) and hope that a problem is found. The downside would be that if no problem is found with BT's equipment then you'll probably be charged.

Get a filtered face plate for your wall outlet and remove any redundant telephone wiring in your house. Then run the phone direct into the wall outlet and use a shielded RJ11 cable to connect from the filtered faceplate to your router. Lastly, follow this advice (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/08/05/i_plate/). Then you can be sure of no internal interference. I did and got an extra meg on a 6km line.
