test router stats

[coreservers]

have installed the test router and forced a re sync.
snr now up to what it says below

only been in an hour though

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 3072 kbps 1059 kbps
Line Attenuation 43.5 db 21.4 db
Noise Margin 26.4 db 8.8 db

You must have synced at a very noisy time.

the wife was shouting at me

seems attenuation is creeping up from 41 last week to over 43. that should remain stationary I thought, unless the tectonic plates in dalkeith are pushing me further from the exchange

[Glenn]

Mine rises from 59 - 62db dependant on the time of year and weather conditions

[Rik]

Plus, different router will give different figures (heck, my 2700 even gives two!).

[rireed3]

If the line's any good, that noise margin should be steady and it won't re-sync by itself.

Noise margins don't 'need time to settle'.  If the noise margin is making 4 db changes or more, something on the line is changing, and I'd say the router has been eliminated as the problem.

[Sebby]

Agreed, Richard. I find it annoying when people are told to let things settle.

To be fair, BT won't do a thing during the fatuous 10 day training period.

[rireed3]

I suppose you could take the view that they've done quite enough already 

[Sebby]

To be fair, BT won't do a thing during the fatuous 10 day training period.

Which is a farce, given that the situation doesn't change during the training period. If you have a bad line, you have a bad line. The noise margin will shoot up to 15dB, but the chances are that things will remain unstable.

[Rik]

I know, you know, BT don't care.

[coreservers]

after a further re-sync. I think the belkin router is part of the issue
BT speed test crapped out so speed IO was the next and it's up over 4mb

For us to guess a little better, you have to tell us what the new router's stats (down sync rate, down noise margin, errors, sync time connected) have been doing today.

well it seems to have "settled" down again 

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.
    Your DSL connection rate: 3072 kbps(DOWN-STREAM),  1059 kbps(UP-STREAM)
    IP profile for your line is - 2500 kbps
    Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 2324 kbps


ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 3072 kbps 1059 kbps
Line Attenuation 43.5 db 21.4 db
Noise Margin 24.6 db 9.1 db


the downstream snr varies quite a bit. I'm gonig to try changing the cablign internally today (make sure there's no bellwire etc.) will see what that does, then I can eliminate internal issues. 

[rireed3]

At last report, you were using the test socket.  That's the best way to eliminate internal issues, as when you unscrew the bottom half and pull it away it disconnects all your house phone wiring and gives you a direct connection to the line outside the house.  Even if you are not using the extension wiring, if it's connected it can pick up noise.

You didn't report any errors or the time the sync has been up, but it looks like this is the same sync you had yesterday, including the noise margin, so a bit confusing about the speed.io speedtest (I don't trust the speed.io speedtest).

Also, if the 24db down noise margin is varying, please say between which values it is varying.

I'm away for the day -- I'm sure others will pitch in

[Rik]

Have a good day, Richard. 

[coreservers]

I'm really nto sure where to go now, or what to do.
changed practically everything,  still got line profile of 2500 steady speed of 2345, SNR varies between 21-26db

downloads are ok I suppose, but I'm down 75% on what I had before. and paying slightly more for it.  I really am at a loss as to where to take it

[Rik]

What do IDNet say?

[coreservers]

Not heard since anything since 30th when they were sending the terst router, i've mailed the stats, including the 4mb anomaly. but not heard a thing

[rireed3]

Without current information about re-syncs, test socket, and errors, I cannot speculate further on why your noise margin is so high, robbing you of connection speed.

I leave you in the capable hands of forum and IDNet experts.

Richard

[Rik]

IDNet don't have an email pending from you, Alan, what address did you use?

Do you have your line stats from Sky days?
