I have very recently had a vdsl connection fault repaired, and now have a stable 53Mb/s vdsl sync speed. I find however that a broadband speed check at the SBG3300 produces test results of around 26 Mb/s. Can anyone offer guidance as to what might cause this type of restriction? Many thanks for any advice, Jeff
p.s. the SBG has a permanent Ipsec VPN to another site.

    I think I was mislead by the online speed test (btwholesale). I tried with www.thinkbroadband.com and attained  about 52Mb/s and downloaded a 1GB file at 55.2 Mb/s so no problems at all. Thanks for your suggestion, though.
