The following is from this page in the STC site.

I recently upgraded DSL Max, its advertised as 20 Mbps but I only get 6 - 7 Mbps max. Called Stc and guess what they said "Up to 20 Mbps" not exactly 20 Mbps.

Jaypee did you changed your DSL cable to CAT-5 beforce you upgraded to 20mbps?

Jaypee said...

I'm using Cat-6, I dont think its not affecting the DSL because in the modem's diagnostics the max DL rate is only 7000+ kbps instead of 20000 kbps.

then we must say our lines are crappy, and second if we've good line and well maintained dp, then stc serivce really sucks.

jst lik u said jaypee .. i took 20 mbps ... DSL MAX .. no use ..

exactly 6.5+ - 7 mbps ..

in my modem i can see the line speed wht stc is providin ..
is
Downstream Rate: 8189 kbps
Upstream Rate: 509 kbps

so no way it will excede 8 mbps coz line speed is jst 8 ..
its lik 8 mbps connection

if they say up to 20 they should at lest provide line speed of 20 mbps ..

its waste takin DSL MAX ..
anywa i wanted to know
i will switch back to 4 mbps ..

so any1 there ho is gettin more than 8 mbps in DSL MAX ?

and its not problem of router coz its ADSL2+ whih supports up to 25 mbps ...
