My connection speed on my router is reading differently to what I'm actually getting. The ISP I was orginally signed up to (Pipex) was bought out by Tiscali last year and just last week I was moved over to there network. Nothing has really changed it terms of quality, latency etc but my router now reads my connection speed as 3456/448 kbps. This speed actually varies from 3000-3500 kbps ever time I reset the router. The upload speed always remains 448. Before it was 1152/384 kbps but the actuall speed was 1024/256 kbps. Even now I'm still getting 1024 kbps down but my upload has actually changed to 448 kbps; confirmed from a speed test I did. I don't understand why they changed my upload speed but left my download speed the same. During the speed test it never goes over 1000-1010 kbps. I initially thought that I was being tested for ADSL Max but that seems doubtful now as it's been over a week already. This speed increase has also affected the Noise Margin (SNR). It goes as low as 2 sometimes and as a result the connection cuts out occasionally. It use to be like 25-27.
