now just because your connection speed is 8mb you will never really get quite that fast due to various factors - although 5-6MB would not be unreasonable to expect
I'm on Orange 8mb and average about 3.6MB --- your not alone
I recently upgraded to the 8Meg package from 2 Meg (November) but all I seem to be getting is 3.5Meg at the most.
Looking at my info from the livebox it looks like i should be able to get 8Meg.
Try number of speedtests using the one mentioned at different times and over a number of days. Although you maybe able to get a higher download than 3.5M there is not a lot of Noise Margin left to achieve this.

What do you mean by noise margin? How does this affect my speed and how or can it be improved?

I would love to be getting 5-6Meg. I upgraded from 2Meg and havent seen any real difference. Have you contacted Orange?

How long you been on max? have you checked your wiring? Is the connection to an extension or the master?
Been on Max for 2 month. I have checked the cabling and its on the master socket. Also i got a filter from ASDL nation to see if that would improve things
Have you tried direct into the test socket in the master socket
I have just tried plugging into my master socket and its the same speed. I have also tried my old speedtouch 330 modem with the 8 meg drivers and I can get a speed of 6Meg, then when i put my livebox on i only get a speed of 3Meg The wireless connection is excellent quality.
I signed up to the £19.99 package with 8mb max speed a few months ago I had to use my old speedtouch usb modem for a month as the livebox hadn’t arrived. I checked the speed of the speedtouch usb modem on www.thinkbroadband.com/ and was regularly getting speeds of 5mb. When the livebox arrived I tried the same speed test and I’ve never seen it go above 2mb. I’ve used the livebox for 2 months now and the speed has not improved.
Now I can't get the speedtouch modem to connect properly. I type my username and password. My connection settings looked correct "always dial my default connection" phone number set as 0. This problem is on win 98 se.
I tried it with XP SP1 on another PC and the speedtouch box refuses to respond when I click connect. I made another connection with the connection wizard I type the username and password in but fails to connect. I have the 2 solid green lights on the modem as well.
So how do you use the old speedtouch modem Graham76?
