[AusNOG] ADSL2+ throughput ncrease

Something strange (but good) has happened: My ADSL throughput has
skyrocketed. I'm not complaining but I am a bit mystified.

After years of getting no more than 4Mb/s down and 3Kb/s up (on
average), suddenly my modem is reporting nearly 18Mb/s down and 1Mb/s
up. It's been that way for a couple of weeks. It is actually delivering
that kind of throughput too, it's not a reporting error.

I called Internode to ask if they'd done anything, they said no. They
told me I was about 5.4km from the DSLAM.

Other info: SNR margin is 4.0/7.5, attenuation is 18.9/9.3. It's
synching ADSL2+/AnnexA. I wish I'd paid more attention to those
parameters, but I have no earlier values for them

Any theories (other than "The Internet Gods are smiling upon me")?

Regards, K.
