can i cap my own downstream rate

[mofinn]

As I have mentioned in another post i have been having wiring probs with my old BT wiring (actually says GPO on the box)

Two cans and a piece of string is probably more modern

When I get connected at 4608/5000 Kbps (attn 56) my noise ratio is around 6-7 and when someone picks a phone up it drops by about 3/4 - disconnection (4500 to 5000 seems to be my normal connection speed)
all filters checked and changed

My latest router reset gave me a 2900 kbps figure and an SNR of 10 - when the phone is picked up drops again by 3/4 - I stay connected

Now I hope to get this sorted eventually but is there anyway in the meantime I can keep my downstream connection as it is now because I have to reset my router (I have to move it back to its original position) and I am worried the downstream rate will jump back up - it has before when I have re-set it

at least then I will have a more stable connection until i can get this sorted
i must be the first person trying to limit their connection speed
apologies if this is a stupid question and there is no connection between connection and noise margin

No that's not a stupid question.

Yes you can very easily change your noise margin and probably the easiest way is to use a utility such as Mognuts - see the sticky in the tech forum.

And yes again, there is a very clear connection between connection speed and noise margin. The first sticky in my signature at the bottom of this post explains the relationship in some detail.

Thanks for the reply Saturday - I will have a look - I see some interesting reading ahead

Again thanks
