attenuation and noise margin etc etc



attenuation 20db noise margin 10db

is that any good ? i have just moved the router and installed a new extension and the figures have changed and the line speeds seem to be shite now :S so are those figures for downstreem anything to worry about or are they actually alright ??

what type of connection are you on? fixed rate or up to 8mb?

20db attenuation is good, it means you are quite close to the exchange.

10db noise margin is nothing to worry about.
 
at the mo speedtest.net says 977kbs and 270 kbs


other day it was over 6mb

im with plusnet its always been kinda flakey but hasnt been this bad that i know of but i only speed test every now and then
 
  Fabia vRS
upto 8mb

im about 800 meter from exchange as crow flies aparantly

it all sounds about right then.

what do u sync at now?

extensions can cause problems such as disconnections or low throughput/sync

you would be better off having your router plugged into the master socket and running cat5 from your router to your pc.
 
yeah in an ideal world it would be but master socket is in hallway etc

i shall go move router onto master socket and see if speed tests improve if they dont that will discount the extensions atleast wont it

you can't work like that.

if sync rate improves on the master socket then you need it there for 3 days for the BRAS profile to update.

you never answered the question. what are you sync'd at, and what do you sync at on the master socket?

keep trying tonight, you need to know if your profile is stuck.

you should have a 7150k profile with an 8mb sync rate.
 
heres mine:

Operation Data
Operation Data Upstream Downstream
Noise Margin 19 dB 13 dB
Output Power 11.5 dBm 20 dBm
Attenuation 13.5 dB 30 dB



is that pretty decent?
 
Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:
help.jpg
-provides background information.
IP profile for your line is - 7150 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 8128 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 5908 kbps


its alot faster now than it was when i posted this thread

nowt wrong with practically 6mb. sounds like contention either at your exchange or within your isp's hardware/centrals, or perhaps it's just traffic shaping at a particular time.

what provider is it?
 
yes plusnet lol almost at end of the year so i will move !!

how is good at the mo i pay the £22 a month or what ever it is with plusnet

im going to try the bell wire thing tonight and see if it improves at all if not i shall just krone it backup :)

there is no point in trying anything else, there is nothing wrong with your connection, it is your isp or your exchange where the problem lays, whether that be contention or deliberate shaping.
