Looking Good going fast

old Bill · Dec 20, 2006, 07:46:32

Hi,
As some of you may remember I was having a fair few problems with my line a few weeks ago. I was just geting over 2 meg download speed. Well having talked to the team at C/S I was switched back to a fixed rate 2 meg line. Well this morning I switched back to the the max. My exchange is still red (what a suprise) however I am now syncing at 6080 KBPS, and my best speed so far has been 4.5. I relise i still have the 10 day traing period ahead of me but I had forgoten how fast ADSL could be. A big thank you to everyone here and at C/S for you help.

Good luck with the 10 days of Xmas.

old Bill · Dec 20, 2006, 18:13:35

Thanks for that. Here are my stats. Anyone like to have a shot at what speed i might get at the end of the 10 days.

If you maintain that sync and your lines is stable, you should end up with a BRAS profile of 5000kbps, throughput of about 4700kbps iirc.

Nerval · Dec 21, 2006, 15:45:42

Yes, that's almost the same as mine.

Been stable on BRAS 5000k since I got this router and not turned it off.
Then last night I thought - ah well, if I can resync at just a couple of hundred more , I can get a BRAS profile of 5500k, then leave the router on and Bob's yer Uncle, as they say.
Can't remember what the exact min sync for a BRAS of 5500 is, but no doubt Rik will remind me.

So I rebooted the router, instantly synched at 5250 and BRAS plummeted to 4500k.

Oh well, such is the wages of greed.

So anyway, back synching at 5900ish, so just a 3 day wait and my BRAS will return to where it was before I messed it up.

Oh Well.

Rik · Dec 22, 2006, 10:34:41

Profile 5500

Sync between 6240 & 6784

Profile 5000

Sync between 5696 & 6239

Profile 4500

Sync between 5120 & 5664

Next question?

Nerval · Dec 22, 2006, 10:39:45

Thankx Rik, you're a star!
I've written it in my Book of Knowledge so I don't have to ask or search again.

But you can see how being only 200 short of the next tier was so tempting.

Next question?
What's Santa bringing you? lol

Rik · Dec 22, 2006, 10:46:56

I'm 32k short of the next teir, that's not tempting, it's frustrating!

Santa never brings me anything - I've always gone and bought it before he can get here...

Nerval · Dec 22, 2006, 11:00:16

That must be the problem of being the Man Who Has Everything lol

Rik · Dec 22, 2006, 11:13:41

No, it's the problem of the man who has everything he can afford.

Given a free hand, I could do much better!

MoHux · Dec 22, 2006, 12:29:08

Listening to you two I'd say you're both short of the next tier!!

Rik · Dec 22, 2006, 12:48:03

Ah, a Carpenter's fan... (Close ti yer

)

Must have a good bugging device then as we're at opposite ends of the country.
AND Rik's Scotch as well.

Rik · Dec 22, 2006, 14:24:39

Not quite opposite.

And that's Scots or Scottish, I'm totally non-alcoholic. You don't want to upset Mise, or Scott,

Nerval · Dec 22, 2006, 17:53:16

Picky picky picky - get your dirk out of your sock and get it polished.

And anyway you should be getting your gun ready to go hunting haggis like all you Scotchmen do at halloween.

Oi vay and slanty. lol

Rik · Dec 23, 2006, 08:45:06

I never hunt haggis, it's cruel. Instead, I use new-fangled humane traps!

Oh, I polished my shian dhu yesterday, together with my sporran... Brings tears to the eyes!

Nerval · Dec 23, 2006, 08:54:47

you're supposed to take it off first

Rik · Dec 23, 2006, 09:02:22

That could explain where I've been going wrong. Spelling it right would have helped too.

Nerval · Dec 23, 2006, 10:39:12

Well with my two doctorates in spelling, it would have been churlish of me to point that out lol

Just cant wait for my speeds to settle down after the 10 days, like a yoyo at the moment.

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY FESTIVE SEASON

old Bill · Dec 24, 2006, 19:49:54

Ive just got 5641kbps on the Giganews test.

It might be worth turning the router off for 30 mins and trying again.

Try the Giganews test (click on the blue News-Euro link -

BTW my exchange is red.

Check yours here - http://usertools.plus.net/exchanges/

old Bill · Dec 24, 2006, 21:36:47

Will it hurt to turn off the router since i am in my 10 training period ? I thought that you had to leave the router on so that it did not disconect. Just run speed test geting less than 156kbps.
