Can't do the BT test as it's not working for me at the moment, but i'm with Sky, on the Denburn exchange, live on Thistle Street, have a junction box next to my house and according to my router:
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 11599 kbps 764 kbps
Line Attenuation 33.5 db 17.0 db
Noise Margin 7.4 db 14.5 db

Utter nonsense. I get over 5mb/s downstream regularly (usually 6 - 7mb/s) in the Ferryhill area.

The samknows page I linked to earlier says Lochnagar was upgraded to ADSL Max in march 2006. Sky LLU'd it in July 2007, although I was getting similar connection speeds on Freedom2Surf but their shit throttling meant I never saw that reflected in downloads.

My info is out of date (8Mb/s is possible these days, though notice i didn't disagree with the fact that exchanges could support that). I accept that, read the rest of the thread please before posting. What is it with people jumping on a post they disagree with without reading the rest

It seems that Denburn is due for upgrade this March as well.

I didn't realise that, cheers for the correction. As i said, i was wrong. I'm more than happy to admit that. Maybe my mate was talking about Denburn speeds in my area and i misunderstood.

Notice i said my area. I'm not exactly close to the Denburn exchange. I do get 5.5Mb/s though, that's the most i've ever had. I did see that Denburn supports ADSL Max before.

The upgrade i'm talking about might be to allow support for 24Mb/s, it may just be an operational upgrade.
