I just downloaded an update - new thunderbird.

peaked at 654 kBytes a second, or 5200 odd kbps..better than 95% of my
5500 BRAS.

Thank you IP protocol, and IDNET for at least giving me an uncongested
link..

since we were discussing this....

FWIW on a much worse rural line with enormous numbers of uplink errors I
get a download speed of 96% of BRAS with sync 3360kbps and BRAS 2.5M.

So I think 95% of BRAS is probably a typical upper limit for ADSL.

Last week my BRAS was up to 3M and I was getting around 2.8M downloads.

Modem has been synced continuously now for 7 days (a record) and the
error rates per day are

Upload FEC 8k CRC 100 HEC 503 Error sec 40
Download FEC 20 CRC 11 HEC 5 Error sec 0

I feel a bit aggrieved that the downlink speed is being throttled back
because the uplink is so flakey but don't have time to chase them.
