I have recently upgraded from a Thomson Router to a 2820n.I am with Plusnet ADSL2+ and reliability of the router ( I have had three failures in the last three years) made me decide to purchase rather than use the standard router.
However I did this at a time when my BB had just failed due to a line fault which has caused BT to drop my profile to ~4Mb/s from 9Mb/s previously.

Since they have rectified the problem - and I left the Thomson originally connected just for support reasons, I notice that my sync rate on the Thompson had increased to ~16Mb/s (though rate remained at 4Mb/s but with a much higher s/n ratio of 21 (up from around 10)

But I cannot find out how to detect the sync rate of the 2820.

I looked in CLI via Telnet and there is an indication of the DS max rate but this is only ~6Mb - much lower than the Thomson.

Can anyone help me understand how I can find the sync rate

Many thanks in advance

That's shown on the online status page or "show status" in telnet.

Thanks for the info.

Actually the line speed was being capped since the recent problems so the Draytek was a more accurate indication of the speed.

The cap has been removed but I am back to the Thompson for a different issue that I will investigate and may have to post back. Basically though the router starts off fast I slowly find that the performance drops - this is more noticeable if P2P is happening. Soon even loading websites becomes impossible - even timing out DNS requests.

I tried to see if implementing QOS helped but it made no difference. Once I am convinced that all of the line issues are over I will put the draytek back and see if the issue goes away.
