sync speed

[Colin Burns]

its defenety looking interanal as i have my router pluged and im getting these figures from the test socket

also it turned out i did have a ring wire connected so have removed that as well

That noise margin suggests that DLM has been at work, Colin, and raised your target margin to 15db to stabilise the line. It also looks like your last re-sync was at night, hence the higher margin now (plus removing the ring wire). With that attenuation, you should be synching at 8128, so it might be worth forcing a re-sync to see what you get, I'd expect somewhere around 7,000 right now.

[Rik]

Didn't gain as much as I would have expected, Colin, but it's a step in the right direction. Did you disconnect the ring wire at every socket?

[Colin Burns]

not yet still connected to the test socket.  need to find a screw driver so i can do the rest is the ring wire connected to 3?

[Rik]

Yup, ring wire is always on 3, you just want 2 & 5 connected. While you;re in there, make sure that all the wiring is paired, eg blue/white and white/blue.

[Colin Burns]

well its disconnected its creeping up slowly

will do another restart sometime early tomorrow and see if i hit the magic number

[Rik]

500k for the day, not bad... Wait until the sun's up in the morning, that should give you your highest speed.

[Colin Burns]

wakes up in the early afternooon to check the sync and its gone to

happy days

also found that where the fault is in my house its either the upstairs sky box or a dieing filter. so will just have to pot out to buy some new ones

[Rik]

Try unplugging the boxes for a day, Colin. Sky usually only do one callback a month, and will repeat it after 24 hours if it fails.

[Colin Burns]

i think the boxes are unplugged but will go double check

[Colin Burns]

turns out that i got the last high sync with the box in question pluged in

[Rik]

All you have to do now is hold that for 14 days, get your target noise margin down and start gaining the remains of your sync speed back.

[Colin Burns]

yup may the good times roll

think the only remaining thing to do is to get load of nice new good quility filters.

[Rik]

I recommend the ADSL Nation xf-1e.

[Sebby]

I second that.

[Colin Burns]

will try and get them ordered this week

[Danni]

I win

[Colin Burns]

how kind and polite and on which ground do u win cause the fault turned out to be a dead filter onto my dads sky box

just now need to order so nice new ones when i have money

[Rik]

Meantime, Colin, leave the box unplugged - Sky will give you a couple of warnings before getting shirty.

Once out of the first year you can leave it unplugged anyway can't you Rik?

[Rik]

No, Colin has multi-room, Gary, which Sky do police.

the gits saying that our box is off an ADSL nation faceplate so its not an issue, the phone line runs though a surge protector and and then a splitter for phone then skybox (the ADLSL side does not go through a protector due to noise they create) and goes straight to router so it causes no issue thankfully

[Sebby]

My setup is identical to yours, Gary.

Great minds, and all those clichés Sebby
