Hey there, I see you're experiencing slower speeds on your ADSL2+ connection. Let's figure this out. You're using a CAT6e cable and switching to the 2.4GHz band with a Huawei HG658 V2 router. The reported speeds are around 10Mbps down and 0.8Mbps up, which is typical for ADSL2+. However, your ISP claims the maximum copper speed is 20-22Mbps—this suggests there might be a mismatch between your setup and the advertised limits. Have you tried checking your actual download/upload speeds with a speed test tool? Also, ensure your router is properly configured and consider contacting your ISP to confirm if your line actually supports higher speeds. Let me know if you need further guidance!
If you don’t have cable (Virgin Media in the UK), your connection speed depends on how close you are to the local exchange. In theory, ADSL2+ can reach up to 24Mbps, but only if you’re right next to it. Try logging into your router to see its current sync speed—you’ll likely notice it’s about a megabyte faster than what you experience in real life.
You're getting the same speed as expected, but you're still seeing only 10 Mbps instead of the advertised 14 Mbps. Check your connection settings or network configuration for any issues.
Return to my earlier comment, log into the router and check what sync status you see on dude. There might be a lot of interference on the line which could slow things down, leading to poor speeds. If you're paying for 14Mb but still experiencing issues, contact your ISP again. Ask for a price cut or a proper fix. Since I haven't done much testing myself, my advice is limited—sorry for that.
No. G992.5 (ADSL2+) offers up to 24Mbit/1Mbit. Standard performance isn't guaranteed. Your connection speed hinges on your specific line length, condition, and signal loss caused by power and noise. Distance affects copper lines as power drops and interference rises. Annex-M reduces download capacity for upload, usually capping speeds at 21Mbit/3Mbit. xDSL avoids a 40% penalty, but most extra load comes from ATM protocols used by DSL and DOCSIS. It's unclear if it's VDSL2, as the way tone bins are structured differs from ADSL2+, while VDSL2 benefits more from higher frequency bands that suffer less attenuation. Speeds become nearly identical after about a mile.
