Throughput speed?
Hi, I'm still going through DLM but currently i have a sync speed of 16.5Mbps and I'm getting a throughput of 14Mbps. This was tested on SpeedTest.net so I know it's not the most accurate.
Is this throughput about right for that sync speed? I can never remember how to calculate what the throughput should be!
Thanks!

This is still under DLM and the line output power has already increased, allowing me to go from 11Mbps to 16.5Mbps whilst keeping the noise margin at 6dB.
All I want to know is if 14Mbps is an acceptable throughput speed for a 16.5Mbps sync speed?

Re: Throughput speed?
For throughput you should get 85-90% of the sync speed. That is 13.94-14.76 Mb in your case, so you are well within the limits..
