braodband slower than dial up - help!

[DaveJwxm]

you won't see a physical speed increase instantly when you plug into the master socket, i just want to know the sync speed.

it will take 3 days for your speed to rise again.

sorry to sound stupid do i just do the speed test again?

 

[DaveJwxm]

ok , ill take it to be speed test again, off to master socket ........

 

[DaveJwxm]

at master socket!


The speed test has completed on test server speedtester1.nat.bt.com for user 01490....... and you have downloaded a 1.7Mb file at a speed of

Your downstream Attenuation is fairly (verging on very) high which would suggest a long physical line length and/or a noisy line and the SNR is just above the threshold to remain connected
.

when you say noisy line, what does that mean??

 

[Griff]

Do it a few times to get a realistic answer.

 

[Griff]

when you say noisy line, what does that mean??

Background noise that would affect the signal. Poor joints, bad connection in the street cabinet, aluminium spliced into the line etc..

i cant ive got to wait now

You have already performed a test within the last 30 minutes. Please come back later and retry your test. Constant attempts to retest will be logged by the system and may be reported to your ISP. You may next perform a test on Tue Jul 25 21:32:16 2006

[DaveJwxm]

this always happens , im going along fine.. then i get logged out of msn, if im listening to the radio goes off and i get p'age cant be displayed' and its goes slow all nite:S


Ill do another test in a bit and see what it says

you still haven't given us your line stats when plugged into the master socket.

as i mentioned before, even if you do sync higher, you will have to wait 3 days of solid sync at that rate for the BRAS to update.

btw Griff and Adam thanks for taking time to help me out with this

 

[Griff]

Attenuation is still relatively poor (i.e hasn't improved while not the cause of any problems) and SNR is only higher (better) due to the lower sync rate so as a result I think we can safely say that extensions/extension leads aren't the problem.

so should my next step be trying to get BT do look in to it? ive been in and out of msn messenger like a bloody yoyo tonight!

 

[Griff]

Probably the best thing to do. MTU can cause problems with MSN messenger and other apps but (and no offense) I think that's a bit complicated for your average user to mess with.

prob it took me 24 hours to find out the line stats lol
