Difference between Max Attainable Rates and Actual Sync Rate

[gorebrush]

Anyone else noticing a big difference between these two values?

My Sync is 64000
Attainable 75000

SNR is 7ish, so can't see any room for improvement there.

Anything I can do? I guess ringing Sky will be of no use as I shouldn't "know" my attainable rate

I don't have access to my SNR but my synch rate is 35176 but download speed is 28000. My BT modem is an ECI so did consider buying a Huawai one from fleabay and see if I could hack that to obtain SNR but then what could I do with that? If we use Billion router/modems does this mean you can adjust the SNR to better the download speed like the old DGteam firmware, as we could use DD wrt but am unsure that allowas you to telnet in to adjust it.

Same experience here.

Max Attainable 73188
Sync 62866

It synced higher at first but my when my speed tests were all over the place (turned out to be my wifi) i bounced the modem a few times and it resynced at what is it now.. oops! been like this now for a couple of weeks so i assume its not going to go back up.

I would like to know how many peoples connection does actually go back up once the download speed has suddenly dropped, I'll bet it is a very rare occurence.

I've read a few posts from infinity customers about it dropping and not going back up, apparently a profile reset requires an engineer to come out to the cab...

Tbh I thought it was the reboots that did it but if Gorebrushs is the same perhaps it is the most i can get on the line.

Are the speeds it shows in the router settings actual sync speed or max attainable rates?

[sirbadger]

i can't check as i've been naughty and plugged in a billion 7800n but i beleive they are sync.

edited to add. you need to hack your modem to get max attainable

[Isitme]

I may be wrong, but I think the maximum obtainable may be what you would achieve with a zero noise margin.

As I've said on the forum before when I went from 40/10Mb to 80/20Mb, I started at around 69Mb and over a time of several days it went up bit by bit until I got to where I am now 78Mb. So DLM does work.

Powercut this morning has resulted in it dropping slightly again to 63000

Not complaining, just that Max attainable rate is teasing me (74000!)
