Bad connection

I'll never be able to discuss noise margin in the same way again.

Of course the Fiat will break down and jam the tunnel, still Fiat + Italy = Tiscali...

I actually own the bad Fiat

good news is it has fitted in all tunnels so far

Very Truissimo. Luckily I do all the work on it myself, which keeps me in full time employment

They not only fit in skips, they are skips when upturned..

I thought that was a dessert!

Hmmm... we happen to have a Passat and a Civic here. Not sure which goes with what line, though.

Spoke with support who say my SNR was 9db (which it was at the time) so therefore my target must be set to that. Didn't stop the line dropping, but I don't know what the SNR was at that time. Hmmm.

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 11:36:14

Did they test the line?

dunkers · Mar 05, 2008, 12:48:55

BT or support? I don't actually know either way.

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 12:54:13

Support would normally have tested the line to see if they could identify a problem. What did you actually ask them?

dunkers · Mar 05, 2008, 13:08:02

Me:

QuoteHi, I'm having intermittent problems with my connection. Could I have the down SNR pinned at 9db for a while, please, so I can rule this out as a potential cause/fix. I understand that this could reduce my bandwidth.

Them:

QuoteYour SNR margin is already at 9db, suggesting this is the current target
for your circuit.

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 15:01:53

Ah, OK. It might be worth going back and reporting the instability, asking them if they could take a look at the line for you (a woosh test).

dunkers · Mar 05, 2008, 17:30:08

Yes, you're right. However, I didn't want to start an actual investigation because when it inevitably gets to BT needing to come out they can't do that until next month (for access reasons here, rather than them). It would be tricky to sort of put it on hold if/when it gets to that point, so I was holding off until I can follow through (fnarr). Also, it seems reasonable to think the same or similar problem afflicts both lines, so I'll probably need to coordinate Enta and IDNet to have 'em both looked at by the same engineer.

Rik · Mar 05, 2008, 17:38:56

Sounds like a plan.
