Let's really test idnet :)

[Rik]

I know that one of the issues IDNet were hoping to resolve by offering a phone service, Dean, was the problems of sim provide, which really wasn't working through BT.

Okay update BT guy is here, well working up the line.

we shall see will keep you all posted on progress.

just setting up another 2700 with my temporary login to ensure the adsl side works

Already found a break in exactly the place i expected it,,, someones garden, someone who i don't get on with.

Told BT guy to be diplomatic and just say he was working on a fault.

Had to be the only neighbour i do not get on with   

Long story but we havent spoken in 8 months, last time we did i insisted they put everything in writing.

sour grapes really as they wanted to buy our house but could not afford it (then we go and put a wacking great big extension on).  its not me honest......

I have keys for the other neighbours house as we look after the cats when they go away (and the kids regularly lock themselves out)

[g7pkf]

Well round of applause for BT and idnet.

all done.

new line with adsl all sorted with very little hassle.

stats at present are:-

5312 kbs         832 kbs
Max Rate:       5312 kbs       960 kbs
Current Connection:
   Current Noise Margin:       7.0 dB       10.0 dB
   Current Attenuation:       50.0 dB       31.5 dB
   Current Output Power:       19.5 dBm       11.9 dBm

so thats 10dB less attenuation and hence 2000Kbs fater than my old adsl line.

noise margin is 4-7 but i suspect that will go up...the trains you know.

10 days is the training period isnt it?

[Rik]

Congratulations, Dean, it looks like that's been a worthwhile exercise. The 'training period' is 10 days, but as all it really does is set the MSR & FTR, it's not hugely significant, the line will continue to adapt to conditions.

[g7pkf]

Yes just done a bt speedtest and my profile is 2000 at present

hopefully if the line proves stable that should go up

[Rik]

It often sticks on a new line, so may need a prod after a few days.

[somanyholes]

Well round of applause for BT and idnet.

all done.

all well until your neighbour notices it was for you, and gets out a spade

[Rik]

Pessimist. 

[Colin Burns]

nothing worse than a disgruntled neighbour

hehe

[g7pkf]

True, we now tolerate each other.

on a side note does the refer a friend scheme work for phone transfers as well?

[Rik]

No idea, Dean.

[Sebby]

Excellent news, Dean. It just goes to show that the length of the line is not the only factor that impacts attenuation.

[Simon]

Good to hear things are improving, Dean. 

[g7pkf]

Just a shame the profiles stuck:-



Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    Your DSL connection rate: 4864 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  832 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 2000 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 1396 kbps

[Rik]

Slow throughput for the profile though, Dean.

[g7pkf]

I was doing a download at the time, i was just checking to see if the profile had moved.

usually does about 1800-1900 (about right for a 2000 profile

[Rik]

Ah.

[Sebby]

Just a shame the profiles stuck:-

Hopefully that'll clear very shortly.

[Colin Burns]

Its BTs software so you never know

[g7pkf]

Whats your wish for 2009?


Mines either my exchange gets 21cn fully enabled or idnet offer LLU on my exchange, or we get fibre to the last mile


Rik another complaint no pigs flying choice.

tch tch this forums slipping.....again..down the pan (ill do the toilet humor)
