Help with my DSL?

Hi, I'm new to these forums :)

I've been having some problems with my DSL download speeds, I live in the UK and I'm on Wanadoo Broadband. I've just been upgraded from 2Mb to 8Mb, but when i do a speed test I'm getting:

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 6604 Kbps about 6.6 Mbps (tested with 5983 KB)

Download Speed is:: 806 KB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net  (server1)

Test Time:: 2006/03/18 - 2:47pm

Bottom Line:: 118X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.27 sec

Tested from a 5983 KB file and took 7.422 seconds to complete

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; Media Center PC 4.0; InfoPath.1)

Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 186.51 % faster than the average for host (co.uk)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-HK7YVWQCR

I don't know if this is right, I'm using a D-Link DSL-G604T Router and my connection is set to PPPoE, as when it's set to PPPoA, I'm getting about 300kb/s download max. I've read the top 2 posts, tried Cablenut and TuneUp Utilities 2006. My router reports that my line speeds and line attenuation are:

Up: 288kbps, Att: 20, SnR: 31

Down: 8218kbps, Att: 24, SnR: 13

Sorry for the long post, I've tried to include as much information as i can, and if needed i can post my ping/tracert results.

Thanks :)

I know i was upgraded to 8mb on the 15th March, so i'm wondering if it's going to take a week or 2 for the line to settle down. but i'm still pretty sure i should be getting a little more than 6mb... my line attentuation is near perfect, though the Down SnR is 17, so i'm not sure if that plays a part in it?? Do you think i should give the line a little time to settle or keep trying??
