So? How are they going to squeeze double the data rate than my modem is providing?
Neither am I using a HomeHub, so they might have got confused!

It is the theoretical maximum up to any router you have. Openreach is nothing to do with homehub, that is bt Broadband.
If your wiring is dodgy after the router, or you use wifi, your actual speed will be lower, but it will never be higher than that figure.

So, what do you reckon they're measuring?

The speed of communication with your modem. Is that possible? Maybe someone here understands how it is done.

That was advanced diagnostics. What do you get?

The modem is (currently) communicating with the ISP at 6186kbps. That's what gets plotted by SmartStats, which interrogates the modem. What I get when I log into the admin for the router and look at the line stats myself is:
Any measurement that does not report 6186kbps must be ficticious.

If you mean "additional diagnostic", it won't accept my phone number in the ID field. The basic test is reporting 10.48Mbps tonight.

You could try leaving a space after your area code in the bt wholesale additional diagmostics. Someone on EE said that helps.

Like I said, there's something wrong with the BT assessment.

Your latency is even higher than mine.

So, are you near a cabinet? A daughter in London gets fibre to her flat, and good results like that. There is nothing nearby here to connect to, unfortunately, but on the other hand, BT charge a lot for something we would rarely use.
Latency is poor, possibly because I was using WiFi. I will redo my tests with a direct connection.
When we first got fibre, we were connected to a cabinet 1/4 mile down the road. Since then, another cabinet appeared 100 metres up the road. I wonder whether ISPs will reconnect you?

You want to go faster?? Thats greedy.
The only reason I did was because it was offered as a free upgrade from the 35Mbps package that I was going to change to with another supplier and have yet to use its benefit.
