Max is a dynamic product. The jumping about is a process where the
servers at BT's side are setting the data rate for your line. It's a
continuous process but the first few days in particular are important.
It's designed to pump the maximum stable rate of data down to you, and
is totally dependent on your physical connection to the exchange. From
the exchange, contention then applies.
The drop outs should get less as it stabilises, and the upload speed is
not affected. The higher rate is more or less static for most users.
