Are these stats ok

[jane]

Just connected yesterday and really only want to know if these stats are okay or if my speeds are likely to improve. I have to say that the speed, as it is, is very stable and the QoS reported by MySpeed is 99% which is a great improvement on Tiscalis 48%. I was on their Max package and though sometimes achieving download speeds in the 5-6 Mbps range it was very erratic and the norm was mostly below 1 sometimes up to 2.

Router DG834v2
   Downstream 8128 kbps
   Upstream 448 kbps
   Line Attenuation   30 db  8.5 db
   Noise Margin  9 db 26 db

Your stats are excellent, Jane. You're sync'ing at the highest rate possible, and your noise margin still has a good amount of room.

As for your speed, the best thing to do is a BT speed test as it's the most accurate and will also tell us your profile, so we can make sure it's correct for your sync. Warning: a lot of patience may be required to get it to work! Please post the results if and when you get them.

If everything looks fine but speeds are a little low, it may just be a case of some MTU/RWIN tweaking.

Hi Jane

As Sebby says, you're connecting at the highest possible speed with some headroom on the noise. If you can do a BT test, I'm pretty sure we will find that you are on a 2000 profile, which should rise to 7150 after a few days.

[jane]

Here they are then

The Performance Tester is now testing Broadband connection. Your configured download throughput speed for this service is 2000 k

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    IP profile for your line is - 2000 kbps
    DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM)  8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1872 kbps


So does that mean I am stuck at 2000kbps?

Jane

[Sebby]

Yep, you're on a 2000k profile, but don't worry, this happens on all fixed-rate to max migrations. In 5 working days it should increase to 7150. If it hasn't, let IDNet know and they'll get BT to do it manually.

So, if you're happy with your speeds now, wait until the profile changed.

[Rik]

Just for a few days, Jane. BT brings people in on the 2000 profile and then adjusts from there. It should take 3-5 days maximum.

[jane]

That's great then. Yes I am really pleased so far and I am more than happy with my speed but just had to check it out.

Thanks for the comments. I'll wait and see what happens over the next week or so.

Cheers

Jane

[Sebby]

Let us know.

I hate these people with stupid stats.

You saw through my ruse.....this is a test to see if anyone would do just that 

Really though thanks I will post back.

Good lines come to those who wait, Danni.

I hope you're right, Rik

[Rik]

Well, if they don't we can always blame Colin.

I've been trying that stupid tester for days with no luck, I guess they must like you 

[Rik]

What browser are you using, Garry. People seem to have more luck using IE than anything else. People in the SW seem to have the most problems.

Vista & IE7 on my laptop and main desktop machine, I did boot up an xp machine with IE6 last night and it wasn't any better, always just says test error

[Rik]

Mmm. Is your Java up to date?

[Sebby]

You just have to keep trying, again and again, usually.
