4mb line slower than 384?!

[Tank09]

So i just got my 4mb line with telkom and went and did a speed test...


My router is syncing at 4096 down and 512 up.
Noise margin: 24.8 dB (upstream)
Line attenuation: 17.7 dB (upstream)

Any reason why this is happening?

Which ISP are you using? I'm on axxess express+ and for the last 3 days my results have been similar to yours, even at night when I'm meant to have full line speed. I've also had a 210ms ping (and this is to the joburg server on speedtest). Anyone else in a similar boat?

edit: just saw in the pic you're with telkom... so scatch that question.
