The website just gives an average for your area, some will be higher some lower. You're one of the luckier ones  |

Not happy, £30 a month and still getting throttled, can usually download at 1650KB/s to 1700KB/s but running at 135KB/s at the moment.  |

ADSL2 with an upload like that. Yeah, good point - I neglected to even look at the upload for some reason.. @ Ayreon You sure its not just the server/location you are downloading from? Try a speed test, and post your results. |

  Modem reports; Down: 8190K Up: 1021K I've just realised I never said what packege I use, I have Karoo Mid and still appear to be billed if I go over 10Gb... Can't be bothered with correcting it because I doubt I will be renewing my contract - even though my only other option is mobile broadband. Edit: You know... these speeds don't seem to be accurate to me and there has been a huge increase in ping. Either my modem is going faster than reported or both sites are lying, though I have tampered with my line somewhat and there were men messing with the lines outside as well yesterday... Hmmm. @xScotteYx; It's ADSL G.992.1 (G.DMT), my modem does not support ADSL2+ - ADSL1 in this form is theoretically capable of 12Mbit/s down and 1.3Mbit/s up. Interestingly some forms of ADSL2+ are theoretically capable of 24Mbit/s down as we know but it is also capable of 3.3Mbit/s up. Personally I think Karoo are selling the G.DMT stuff I am using and negotiating it as ADSL2+ - what a rip off! |

From my modem, it tells me that my connection type is G.992.5.
This means karoo are actually selling ADSL2+
Have you thought about upgrading to a ADSL2+ modem through karoo? You will see an increase in speed.

Hey everyone i live down stonferry im about 4km away from exhange and here is a screenshot of my conection over the past year and how much iv spoke to karoo and got it tweaked. if you ring them up they will ry diferent things like chnaging the profile capping the upload speed ect i spoke to them the other day and got an extra 1mb!!!! so it pay off to just ring the fools.   I think this should be your desktop background. |

This man speaks the truth - I have had Karoo try many different things on my line, and together we determined the sync speed which gave me the best results. As I have stated before, the customer service is excellent.
I got him to try many different sync speeds and capping levels, to get the best possible speeds, must of tried around 6-7, and I finally found the best speed my line could handle. Since then, we have received stable and consistent speeds, even during peak times..
I second what you have said about ringing them, it does work.
