I am soooooo jealous

Taken from a "genuine" 2700 i would sell my children for stats like this. AND NO NO EDIT IN ANY WAY and yes the attenuation is 3.8dB.

guess how close to the exchange i was....come on nearest wins the prize of being a know it all

You were stood next to the DSLAM?

Sebby · Apr 27, 2009, 19:27:48

I'd go for that too. 3.8dB downstream attenuation is the lowest I've ever seen!

Rik · Apr 27, 2009, 19:29:48

In theory, it's about 350m away from the DSLAM, but with some loss on termination I reckon is has to be in the exchange building, Seb.

Both wrong try again

Rik · Apr 27, 2009, 19:30:33

OK, first street cabinet?

g7pkf · Apr 27, 2009, 19:31:03

wrong. colder and on the info pre-activation bit info said max adsl expected 2.8Mb

Rik · Apr 27, 2009, 19:33:02

OK, you were at home and BT have put in a fibre link to overcome the train problem?

Sebby · Apr 27, 2009, 19:43:54

Now that would be cool (and highly unlikely given that it's BT!).

Rik · Apr 27, 2009, 19:45:26

I know, but I think this is a trick question.

Sebby · Apr 27, 2009, 19:48:01

Well I'm off for dinner. I'll be thinking!

Rik · Apr 27, 2009, 19:48:45

Me too, I won't.

Lance · Apr 27, 2009, 20:26:51

What is puzzling me is that if the line was that great, the noise margin and the max rate would be higher.

g7pkf · Apr 27, 2009, 20:32:48

interleaving was on, and we did 20+ connections over a 1 hour period. hence the "low" sync

and no Rik no fibre involved....

Ok cat out of Bag I was literally on top of a major bt exchange, the dslam was "physically" 3/5 metres away (through a major bit of concrete i will add/the roof of the exchange), although cable length was about 100metres (BT guy checked it with his reflectometer kit-more for fun than anything else)

Rik · Apr 28, 2009, 09:13:36

That's cheating.
