New IDNetter, Advice on speed?.

[Rik]

You shouldn't. Do you live in the exchange?

[Steve]

Absolutely not,

[tKe]

The exchange is across the road 

I assume with those stats I should be getting full ADSL Max speed (and no interleaving)? If so what can I / IDNet do and who do I talk to?

[Rik]

Just ask support to have interleaving turned off.

[tKe]

Done, let's hope it stays off now I have a reliable router.

[Rik]

 

It should do, you have plenty of noise margin in hand.

It's been a while, been using the test socket only, and have purchased a new router, its a DG834PN, I can get this router to sync at fine speeds to the exchange, and it never seems to lose sync, nor when the phone rings, so we can attribute that to a dodgy router. However, today was windy and rainy, and I got packet loss on an epic scale, 46 loss on a game server, and its constantly ticking around 1-2 loss which should be 0 tbh, this happened this evening for an hour or so, and my telephone had an intermittent crackling on it, so undoubtedly a fault on the line. This morning I was achieving full speed no problem, but later on afternoon and evening, and even now, my speed is so intermittent, one minute 1mb the next 4.

I made a graph at thinkbroadband which I started tonight. I resynced the router a few times and will do again in the morning, after which I will let it sit for a few days if it doesnt drop.

This seems to be an intermittent fault and I guarantee it will be impossible to get BT to admit fault and try to source the problem. I feel as if im cursed to have a poor connection forever.

      ADSL Link         Downstream         Upstream            
      Connection Speed          5184 kbps          448 kbps             
      Line Attenuation          36.0 db          18.0 db             
      Noise Margin          9.1 db          21.0 db

Tonights stats if your interested. Noise margin is pretty stable, holds at around 12 in the morning and drops down to around 8-9.

Don't do that, Tom, you're likely to depress your profile.

[tKe]

Just thought I'd update on my connection...

Interleaving was turned off late monday eve, and my IP Profile has only upgraded yesterday.

Rate:   8128 kbs   832 kbs
Noise Margin:   16.0 dB   12.0 dB
Attenuation:   5.1 dB   4.0 dB

Attenuation is higher now, although I'm not sure if that's due to my 2wire upgrading itself to v6?

Either way I have 0 packet errors and 0 cell errors and only the odd uncorrectable block. Stats look good and the speed increase is much appreciated

Results of my new speed tests are in my sig  

As I'm sure you can guess, I'm very happy with the results.

Thanks to all who helped

[Steve]

Looking good.

Attenuation goes up somewhat as your sync speed increases- it's "averaged" over the frequencies in use and high frequencies are attenuated more than low ones.
