Speed problems with new activation!
Hi
I have just got activated (bour hour ago) my line online connects at 2.5! any ideas whats capping my speed? I have got an ADSL nation phone socket and have ran cat5e cable from the BT master socket over abput 7m legth and using a belkin high speed cable! Line stats are as follows:

Re: Speed problems with new activation!
call tech, open 24/7 (just left my colleagues sat there laughing so i know they're not doing anything!!!
as for speed, from that attenuaton you're line wont give more than about 2MB so might need capping.....depends on error build up over a longer period of time

Re: Speed problems with new activation!
Your attenuation at 63.5db limits you to ~2500kbps and that's what you're getting. Sorry

Re: Speed problems with new activation!
Right so theres nothign i can get done? like gettin bt to increase the gain? I have noticed our voice calls seem low. I have just redone the wireing in the back filter socket and now im getting
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 2688 kbps 416 kbps
Line Attenuation 63.5 db 31.5 db
Noise Margin 6.3 db 14.0 db
What about flashing fireware of the sky box any help? I want to milk every bps!
I was on bt openwords at 512kps 4yrs ago surely line quality has increased more than this since then!

Re: Speed problems with new activation!
I been messing about with cables and now my router says
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 2592 kbps 416 kbps
Line Attenuation 15.5 db 31.5 db
Noise Margin 7.6 db 14.0 db
all ive done is moved it and replaced the network cable witht the proper sky one! so someone tell me now why i aint gettin proper line speed if my Line Attenuation is 15.5db!

Re: Speed problems with new activation!
Your line attenuation is not 15.5db, this is a well known bug with the router, reboot and measure again.
You still have the same cable running between you and the exchange, so its attenuation won't change. The fact that you can now get 2.5mbps over a 60db line that was designed to carry audio with a 3khz bandwidth is pretty good going for the technology.Last edited by penrhyn; 07-07-07 at 08:42 AM.
