Slow Speed Comapred to Neighbours

Hi

I am using BT broadband. My speed is 500Kbps.

When I check my telephone number on BT it tells me my line supports 500Kbps - fair enough.

However, when i try all my neighbours numbers in the BT box it tells me that they support 3Mbps speeds!

Can anyone tell me whats going on here? Im baffled!

Thanks

Not sure why your neighbours line capacity is different.

Can you please advise me what kind of BT total package you are on please. (http://www.broadbandsuppliers.co.uk/...dband-isp.html)

actually the router ports should be forwarded to utilise the full speed of ur network..
