Max Rate

[Danni]

While I was snooping around in my router management settings, I discovered this:

DSL           Down           Up
Current Rate:         8128 kbs         832 kbs
Max Rate:         9188 kbs         996 kbs
Current Connection:
    Current Noise Margin:         9.0 dB         11.0 dB
    Current Attenuation:         28.5 dB         15.5 dB
    Current Output Power:         19.8 dBm         12.4 dBm

What does the Max Rate bit mean?

Also, I know it's not worth anything but bragging rights, but this is Colin's:

Current Rate:           8128 kbs           832 kbs
Max Rate:         9044 kbs         1112 kbs
Current Connection:
    Current Noise Margin:         9.0 dB         15.0 dB
    Current Attenuation:         24.4 dB         12.5 dB
    Current Output Power:         19.8 dBm         12.4 dBm

So, who's line is better?

mine mine mine please be mine ill never here the end of it

though if its yours danni im moving in

[Danni]

Sure. Airbed is behind the stairs

[kinmel]

When the router was negotiating a new connection it was able to reach a sync rate of 9044, since the BT ADSL max is 8meg, that is what you ended up with.


To still have a SNR of 9 @ 8128 means you live in the exchange, possibly on the equipment rack

[Danni]

I live a mile away from mine

[Colin Burns]

i live a little closer but wouldnt mind moving in

[Sebby]

The airbed's behind the DSLAM you mean.

I think I must be even nearer

Go on, rub it in

shhh dont tell every one

So, who's line is better?

It depends whether you want upstream speed or downstream.

[Danni]

Downstream

[Rik]

In that case, Danni, you win.

[Danni]

Yay!

[Colin Burns]

the van will be at your place at the weekend

[Danni]

It will?

[Colin Burns]

dont matter i need the upload more than i need the down or can u not remember what my usage normaly looks like

[g7pkf]

with stats like that i would get interleaving switched off for sure (or at least ensure it is switched off)

look for interleaving off or something like DSL Channel: Fast.

if it says interleaving on ask support to get it turned off. (Bt leave it on as standard)

[Danni]

I'm pretty sure we've both done that- that's how we're getting the max sync

Yup- mine's off:

i could make further comments BUT i would love to have stats like that 

[Danni]

Awww *squish*

yea i had to request it being turned off as it was resticting my connection.

but i do upload alot more than i download.
