Idnet ping times of late a general question from a hopefully returning customer

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 18:15:59

Look at your noise margin. If the router didn't re-sync while you were working, has it gone up. If it did, has the sync speed increased?

Maverich · Apr 03, 2009, 18:17:51

Yes looks like the noise margin has gone up and also the sync speed has increased, only very slightly though.

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 18:20:49

Re-boot the router tomorrow morning, noise is at its lowest then and you'll get the best sync speed. Check the NM immediately after reconnecting, it should be 6db, but might be 9db if the line software has been at work. If you let me know your sync, NM and downstream attenuation, I'll be able to take an educated guess about any further improvements. If the line remains stable over the weekend, then email support and ask them to have interleaving turned off.

Maverich · Apr 03, 2009, 18:26:32

Ok will do. Did you want me to post stats after the reboot tomorrow?

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 18:27:30

Yes please.

Maverich · Apr 03, 2009, 18:29:03

Right i'll get that sorted for tomorrow then, thanks again Rik.

Sorry for hijacking your thread MarkE!

Rik · Apr 03, 2009, 18:33:23

NP, Mark will be back.

Maverich · Apr 04, 2009, 10:59:14

Morning, have rebooted rooter and these are the stats,

Connection Speed   6592 kbps   448 kbps
Line Attenuation   31.0 db   18.0 db
Noise Margin   12.0 db   21.0 db

Rik · Apr 04, 2009, 11:02:57

Morning.

If you can maintain sync for 14 days, your target NM will drop to 9db, giving you an extra 5-700k of sync speed. If it then is stable for a further 14 days, it will drop back to 6db, and give you a further 5-700k, iow you'll get near to a full speed from the line. I emphasise, though that 14 days stability - any disconnection during that time will start the clock anew - so don't unplug or re-boot the router.

Maverich · Apr 04, 2009, 11:21:33

Well that can't be bad at all!

Rik · Apr 04, 2009, 11:30:06

Maverich · Apr 05, 2009, 09:14:42

Good morning all!

My router stats seem to have changed again, any idea as to why?

Connection Speed   6240 kbps   448 kbps
Line Attenuation   31.0 db   18.0 db
Noise Margin   13.9 db   21.0 db

It looks like you've lost sync again, although things are roughly the same, which would suggest a surge of noise. I'd keep an eye on things for a few days and see how you go - there's probably not an awful lot you can do given the location of the master socket, but hopefully that won't matter anyway.

Rik · Apr 05, 2009, 10:13:29

You've had a re-sync, probably during the evening or overnight, so the router has re-connected at a lower speed. Now, in daylight, the noise levels have dropped so the reported noise margin is higher.

Maverich · Apr 05, 2009, 14:08:42

Fair enough. I'm going to stop looking at it for a while and come back to it in a week or so time. I'm happy with the speed i'm achieving at the moment

Rik · Apr 05, 2009, 15:30:37

Best to just enjoy it rather than keep checking, as long as it 'feels' OK.

MarkE · Apr 11, 2009, 21:47:29

Well im back with idnet,after my spell away with multiplay,seems my interleaving is on auto so will put in for having that removed,but to be fair ping times superb and seem back to normal and
top download consistency as well from idnet

Its nice to be back <3

Simon · Apr 11, 2009, 23:16:22

Thanks Simon,great to be back and to see Idnet running back to its silky smoothest

Rik · Apr 12, 2009, 10:02:16

They've been waiting to lull you into a false sense of security, Mark.

Simon · Apr 12, 2009, 10:28:00

Don't tempt fate, Rik!

Sebby · Apr 12, 2009, 14:03:36

Welcome back, Mark.

Maverich · Apr 12, 2009, 15:53:50

Welcome back Mark!! I'm not jealous of your speed test at all

p.s Everyone having a good Easter?

Rik · Apr 12, 2009, 15:55:30

So far.

Maverich · Apr 12, 2009, 15:59:39

Glad to hear it Rik
