Stats are just from the router. Once you have your own stats you can visit a few sites that will give you a rough idea of what you will get on ADSL2+ (what Be* use) Here are a couple to try: »www.farina1.com/adsl/ just enter your stats and it will give you an estimate. »www.internode.on.net/residential···extreme/ This one has a graph to estimate what you may get.
Another ISP you may want to look at is o2 as they now own Be* and use Be*'s hardware in the exchanges. If cost is an issue you may want to look at them too as they come out as being cheaper than Be*. Here is a BE/O2 Service Comparison from another site. »www.dontbethere.co.uk/showthread.php?t=8858

I've fed these into the farina1 web site and got the following....
Maximum line speed - 8128Kbps BRAS data rate - 7.15Mbps ADSL2+ maximum likely line speed - 20300Kbps ADSL2+ Maximum likely IP throughput - 17965Kbps
Is this actually demonstrating that I should currently be getting a much higher throughput than I currently have and I should be getting in touch with BT and giving them these figures? If so, what should I be telling / asking them to do apart from 'give me what I'm paying for'!

Go here: »www.speedtester.bt.com/ and perform the test at different times of the day and night. This is the only speed test that BT will take any notice of. You need to test at different times to rule out exchange contention. A test in the middle of the night should do this.
I cannot use the test anymore as my line is now on Be*'s ADSL2+ kit but the test did give your bRAS profile and speed when I used it last. Now if your speed falls way below your bRAS profile then you need to contact your ISP and supply them with the results of the tests.
