So recently i seemed to receive far less bandwidth than before it dropped like 10mps.

Been driving my self crazy looking for answers QOS apps/devices downloading in the back ground nothing seemed to help.

Upon further investigation i cam across TELNET please see attached pic.

Turns out my provider that im yet to talk to TALKTALK have capped me at 60mps when i pay for 65 and ive been receiving around 52.

This seems to me to be a straight up ripping off your customers you dont go into a shop to buy a pair of shoes and come out with one and half.

From what I understand there's a lot of factors that come into play here, such as if your neighbours are on similar lines to you etc, but I'd definitely recommend bringing it up with your ISP. If for nothing other than to get a better deal!

BT are like that, they give you an estimate then a lowest figure guarantee but Liam is spot on as it could be distance to cab, noise, and a whole other bunch of reasons.

Also ISPs are very careful with how they word these things, for example "Up to 65Mb/s" or in your case they give an Average range but if you check the terms there is a minimum guaranteed line speed - it's in your TalkTalk welcome pack so it's likely less than 60 - if it's anything like VM the minimum guaranteed is about half what you expect.
