according to http://www.telecomwholesale.co.nz/maps the neighbours behind can get it as the cabinet lights up on their area yet our flat falls just outside. However our exchange is upgraded. Do we need to wait for the cabinet to be upgraded? I thought it was just the exchange....

The cabinet shortens the length of wire between you and the DSLAM. Shorter wire = faster speed.

Was that a registry scan? I used CCleaner and worked well.

I better swap my 5 meter RJ45 cable to a 1 meter one then! 5 times shorter means 5 times the speed right?

YEAH BABY YEAH!

I have heard that if you get a constant 7mbps you need get them to turn interleaving off to get full speed.

As to my problem if you go here http://www.telecomwholesale.co.nz/maps and type in "may street, hamilton" you will see just how close to a cabinet i am.

Someone was pulling your leg there. Interleaving is basically just an error correction measure that particularly improves connection stability at the margin (at the cost of ping time). It's worth having it turned off if you're on a decent quality line and care about ping (i.e. you're a video gamer).

You appear to be in a cusp, but I think there is a good chance you should be getting better speeds than you are, and I see a number of cabinet upgrades are due around December this year in your area.

I am wondering if you have a cable or device fault. Try this for me. Unplug everything else that is plugged into your phone line (every phone, sky decoder if you have one, fax, home alarm, etc).
Turn your ADSL router off and back on again, and then see if the transfer speed is better. If it is, then you have a faulty device plugged into the phone line, and you'll have to test plugging them in one at a time.
