What is the maximum speed my line can have?

[davethebb]

I am currently on the base level (2meg) and have 54db line attenuation and 13 ot 14bd SNRusing a Netgear router. My question is will my line hold a 8meg upagrade or higher?
Thanks, Dave.

Sorry with a line attentuation of 54d you should be able to obtain a speed of approxiamatly 4.5 mg. I note that your noise margin is high can you post some stats and let us know how you are connected to the telephone line , ie hard wired or wireless extentions? and are you connected to the master or test socket

Postman Pat, I am hard wired via a std. BT plug into the master socket. Can you advise what line stats you require and the best way of posting. I am able to obtain the basic stats easy but am unsure how to post them. Thanks Dave.

Sorry, I forgot to add that I am connected wirelessly.Dave.

Postman Pat,
I have just figured out how to post my stats - please see below.

Use this utility to get your full detailed stats and repost.
Detailed stats can be got from the new V1 firmware (V1.03.87)
With the high NM I would suspect youve been capped because of line errors - the detailed stats will show.
Ps - Wired will give a better connection between your pc and router, but it wont effect your sync with the exchange.

I have the following stats. One thing to note is that I have just re-wired the master socket this morning and this resulted in the SNR going from 6 to 13 - I used the router stats while I was disconnecting and reconnecting to indicate where the bad connection was was and hence there may be a diffference in todays readings (if required I can post the same tommorow to give a true picture if it would help). I trust the following makes sense to you. Dave.

the utility shows you can reach around 4.5mbit, however there are errors on the line, so i suggest you take a look in the cabling and faceplate section of the forum, and get the router into the test socket
