Increase my Upload Speed?

[superpav]

Hi guys,

On Friday I attached a VDSL Faceplate and connected my router directly to the master socket as advised. Here are my stats now,

System Up Time: 69:35:45
Port Status TxPkts RxPkts Collisions Tx B/s Rx B/s Up Time
WAN PPPoA 2794961 3754975 0 1265 1596 69:34:50
LAN 100M/Full 131359 427806 0 253 412 69:35:40
WLAN 11M/54M 3737474 2535688 0 1753 1120 69:35:28
ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 15355 kbps 797 kbps
Line Attenuation 28 db 12 db
Noise Margin 9 db 16 db

I have no idea if this has made any difference but things seem to be working better.

Get Sky to run DLM again Pav, you've got lots of room for improvement there... Your attenuation is better than mine, you should end up with a much better upstream than me...

Tell them that you have improved your line and want it re-run in the nicest possible way.

I didn't get much joy over the phone but the live chat sorted it...

It will not be much better unfortunately, probably 50-60 kbs, for some reason the upstream never seems to go above 1.2Mb. Another couple of Mb is likely on the download though.

Thanks again for your help guys.

I spoke to Sky and they made some changes to my line. Here are my stats now,

They have ruined your upload speed,

Call them and ask them to raise it a bit, you should get at least 50% more.

Spoke to Sky again this afternoon and they have finally "configured the line's upload speed to a higher level". They didn't appear to want to do this but got there in the end! Here are my stats now,

System Up Time: 132:57:33

Once again, thank you so much for all your help!

Hi!

It has been over 6 weeks now since making changes to my line and I seem to have problems with videos buffering when streaming them online (iplayer, youtube, etc). I am sure that it is worse now than it was before the configurations. Would anyone be kind enough to take a look at my stats and let me know if there are any issues.

These are the stats from my normal laptop position,

System Up Time: 336:48:08

Many thanks!

Are you wireless ? If so have you tried changing your wireless channel,

Thanks richone54. Yes I am wireless, I'll give that a go when I get home later. I assume what they advise on the video below (try Channel: Auto, 01, 06 and 11) is best way to go about it.

Sky Broadband | Connection drops - try changing your wireless channel

Not checked your link but sounds about right there is some sort of programme you can download ( called ssid or something sim) that can check wireless signals and what channel they on, this there may be a link somewhere in the wireless forum .
