speed problem?

[Lance]

For your attenuation, of 45/46, I would be surprised if you had ever synced at 8128. However, there could be more things to try, such as the new router.

The BT profile is based on your sync speed, and takes up to 5 days to adjust to your sync speed. To see the profile boundaries, take a look in the FAQ thread.

If you keep a stable connection for 14 days, your target noise margin will decrease by 3db. I'm not sure how the Speedtouch router adjusts the noise margin, but I imagine that evenutally you would want BT's equipment to lower the target.

Hope this helps!

edit: or what Rik said!

Two minds, one thought.

Update:

Had BT out this morning to fix the dodgy junction box. Noise problems on line are now gone and I am syncing at 6624, a big improvement. Here is a graph of my SNR which is looking a lot better than it was.



HOWEVER Things still seemed really slow so I've just done a BT speedtest and got the following, worrying result...

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    IP profile for your line is - 250 kbps
    DSL connection rate: 832 kbps(UP-STREAM)  6624 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 207 kbps

250kbps profile??? HELP!!!  any clues???

[Rik]

Time is the only cure, up to 5 days I'm afraid. The work done on the line coupled with your earlier problems have forced the profile low.

Cheers Rik, I thought that might be the case but wasn't sure, nice to have an expert's opinion . I guess I can handle 5 days with a low profile, my girlfriend is coming to stay for a few days so probably wont be doing a lot of computer related stuff   

Will it slowly improve over the 5 days or will it just suddenly increase?

All the best to you and any other IDNetters hanging around the boards. Happy New Year!

[Rik]

It will suddenly improve, Derek, to 5500. If you're lucky, it could be in a few hours, but it's more likely to be in the 3-5 day range, providing, of course, you don't have a further low-sync problem. If it's stuck after that, give IDNet a call and they can kick the tyres for you.

A happy New Year to you and yours. May your hangover me a little one.
