2860 Max Download / Upload Speed was created by it-communications
I have a 2860 running off our BT connection, however we are not able to get the max speed of our connection which is 100Mb, see below image.
Draytek website suggests it supports up to 200Mb, has anyone been able to get above 100Mb?

If you synchronising with 100mbps then this is what the line is capable between modem and cabin/dslam/node
Due to overhead (TCP/IP, PPPoE, ATM, PTM etc) DSL speed is limited to about 80-90% of sync speed.
It looks normal to me, what are you getting with the BT modem?

Those speeds look OK for a 100Mbps connection...
What is the CPU usage reporting on the dashboard of the web interface when doing this speedtest?
Use a better speedtest:http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedtest.html
If this is via the WAN interface you may be better using a draytek 2925??

We do not have a Modem as this is not a DSL service. We are on a 100Mb up / down (1:1 connection ratio)
when doing the speed test the CPU is at 30%
I have already ordered the 2925 which will be with me tomorrow so will be good if i there is an improvement with the connection speed.

Please let us know how get on with 2925 - would be very interested to know.
You have a rock solid stable download speed there from that graph, upload is a bit dubious but that is tested another way so don't worry too much.
I think that may just be the natural speed of the BT connection and is not a limitation of the draytek - but nevertheless, please do let us know!

Getting 94Mb/s throughput on a 100Mb/s feed sounds pretty good to me, after overheads. I wouldn't worry at all; it's surely not material ?
