I did say "future" Jeff........when they bring out a "popular" game that does not give me motion sickness

Yes they are. Previously under IPStream or DataStream you would only hope to get 1Mbit with those stats

This evening, expect to see your sync drop as exchange contention kicks in or not, depending on what state your exchange is in VP wise

Coopes · Apr 04, 2006, 13:53:55

Still not getting anywhere near 8mb, but ah I was only on 1mb yesterday, so still big improvement.

Jeff · Apr 04, 2006, 21:29:13

You`ll not get 8MBit, not everyone will. Product is sold as "Up to 8MBit"

Coopes · Apr 04, 2006, 22:17:14

Yeah I know Jeff, not complaining, would be nice to get a bit more
Checked with BT the best I can expect is 3500, like I said up untill yesterday all I could get was 1mb.
so still a happy IDNetter.

Mark, something strange though with stats you posted yesterday. You posted your SNR (DS Margin) as 3. This doesn`t seem right, could it have been a typo as your SNR is at 6 today with Max? I fed the info you provided yesterday into a checker and it told me you couldn`t expect to see any better than 1Mbit?

Coopes · Apr 05, 2006, 17:43:43

Hi Jeff, both sets of stats where cut and paste so no typo error.
the first set was done when I was on the one mb connection the second
on the max connection.

Mines not to bad this morning but that could change of course

Coopes · Apr 06, 2006, 08:57:20

From what I can make out Mark if I have a DS reading of 0
I don't think I should be connected

Jeff · Apr 06, 2006, 23:54:32

Coopes, I had an SNR of 0 for virtually all of Tuesday evening and line stayed up

Basically, your line will stay up if exchange equipment can still "hear you" and obviously it did
