Firstly many thanks for your input
My router is a DG834 running the DGteam firmware.
Granted not the newest router but it works fine and it's happily running a VPN to my folks place so I can fix their gizmos at times.
ADSL is set to Multimode. Other than that I cannot see to find a report page which has the info on as to which mode is in operation.
I dumped this from the ADSL driver stats page but I don't see the mode in it

And again, your ISP will be reluctant to keep working on it since you are getting better than average speed.
I thought you might say that
That echos what essentially they told me, but they did go above and beyond in getting me that upload speed and I certainly appreciate it.
From the outside looking in I would not have expected the level of support I've had from an ISP like Plusnet, big, volume, owned by BT.
But once you get to teir 3, their guys are very good. It's just getting there that is the difficulty - like any company
Each time there is a problem it seems I have to start at the ground floor as their records on fault expire after 6 months ? Well, they've not had my history saved at any rate.
