"I think the downstream rate shown by the router is the second capping u mentioned done remotely." - No. It's the first or physical capping done at your port on the nearest DSLAM (street cabinet or hosted in exchange)
"So mayb the reason why i'm still getting 1mbps is because the dslam is still capped at 1mbps." - It's not the DSLAM.. But it's the remote capping where TM still not raise your account speed from 1Mbps to 4Mbps...
Btw, have technician come to your house to do other inspection? Usually TM will only raise your account speed after the technician come to your house to do the further testing and he will make sure that your physical line are fully capable and qualified to support 4Mbps. After they confirm that everything is fine, they will call the technical department and ask them to raise your speed. TM will raise your speed between 48 hours from the date and time where the technician come. If you're fortunate, you will get the 4Mbps on-the-spot after the technician leave your house. Make sure you frequently restart your modem in order for the change to take effect...

Thanks for the answers. That clarifies a lot of confusion. Technician just came today. Reason why i couldn't get 4Mbps was just like what u said. TM still haven't raise my speed. Technician said will prob take 2-3 days. Now everything ok.
But sadly from the speed test he ran, it seems max i can get is around 3.5 M. He tried increasing the limit to 5 Mbps but still no difference. Told me the DSLAM which my line is connected to can't support more than 4Mbps coz it's still using copper, not optic. Well, is this true?
Also, i got a new modem. Surprised coz i only upgrade, not applying new. It's the Innacom W3400V. Anyone using this? Any prob? I plan on getting a new Wireless N modem for better wifi coverage coz my house is quite big. Or should i just stick with a wireless G? Will it make any difference from G to N coverage and speed wise?
