CPU doing LLU on my line next Thursday

Hi
CPW are moving my BB connection to LLU next week, I currently get
512Kb -any idea what speed I should expect after the change?
TIA for any responses.
Al

Router stats are as follows -from a Netgear router.
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 576 kbps 288 kbps
Line Attenuation 46 db 15.5 db
Noise Margin 29 db 25 db

In theory you could get 2272 kb/s downstream (2 Meg) at a Noise Margin of 7dB
(double the data rate, and you chop 6dB off the Noise Margin). Upstream might
end up at 448 kb/s ish.

But if it involves those clowns at CPW, be prepared for your phone line to go
dead for a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the reply Mark
According to CPW letter BB will be off for 20 minutes, incoming calls
upto 4 hours and outgoing calls 20 minutes -time will tell.
Samknows.com says that no exchanges are enabled yet so maybe this is
the first and they will be keen to get it working (I want to beleive
this).
Thanks

LLU has nothing to do with it (except of those ISPs offering ADSL2).

it does in the case of TalkTalk who provide fixed speed 512k/1M/2M
outside their LLU area, so getting LLU is the only way Talk Talk users
actually get the promised "up to 8M" "free" broadband.

That's a marketing, not a technical issue.

sales, actually, but it does have something to do with whether a
change to LLU affects the end users connection - it certainly will
with talk talk, and it may even work !

Pipex then BT could not offer me more than 512Kb, so I'm hoping LLU
will give me some increase (I've been signed up with CPW for 11 months
waiting for this).

On precisely what basis ?

Hi
Using the telephone number checker, the house across the road always
shows higher speeds available (but has no BB). Its definitely on the
same exchange as we are on the edge of Hamilton and only countryside
beyond when installed -approx 3.5km from exchange.
I had to get BT to fix a noisy line (in days of dial-up) -they changed
the pair used at the house -it cleared the noise but I think I must be
marked as having suspect line -ot something. So i'm hoping LLU and the
noise margins will allow a speed increase (it will cost me nothing to
be wrong).
