There is no way that you can achieve 6Mb with an attenuation of 59dB, it's definitely impossible.

Having said that your router should sync at 2.7Mb to 3Mb.

The reason it's not is that you are on a FIXED 0.5meg connection.

My guess is that if you did once sync at near 6Mb then the routing of your line has been changed and it's now 50% longer than it was.

Either that or the router is faulty.

Sorry, can you explain in laymans terms what this means? Both the attenuation and the FIXED 0.5Mb speed. My download speed has almost always been 3.5Mb - It was 3.5 a few months ago, only once was it actually 6Mb.
I checked and I am 1.1miles from the exchange and the average speed in my area is 6.4Mb!

is there anything i can do (other than stop using Orange)

Cheers, Liam.
