anything else I can do?

[kheb3350]

Was just wondering whether there was anything I could do to raise my connection speed. I'm on 6708 kbps downstream and 766 kbps upstream. I tried the TCP optimizer but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm happy with this since I was only on 2mbs before, but was wondering if I could do anything to get it higher, since I'm on Max.

what're your attenuation/snr figures?

[kheb3350]

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 6708 kbps 766 kbps
Line Attenuation 47.5 db 30.7 db
Noise Margin 7.1 db 11.4 db

Is that what you need? Thanks.

I'm only about 2.2 kms from the exchange also.

You might be able to squeeze a little bit more out via telnet snr tweaking.

1) Flash your router by using the guide Here
2) Go to http://192.168.0.1/start.htm&todo=debug
3) Click here: Telnet 192.168.0.1
4) Type adslctrl configure --snr number

number will be a percentage of your current snr. I used 80 yesterday and managed to get up to 15323 sync. The higher you sync the more unstable it can become. You will also need to re-apply the settings if you reboot or lose your connection. After you type the command your router should lose its sync and then re-sync. If it shows no difference, type the command again. Remember to keep checking the Status to see your SNR margin too.

All right thanks. Looks like it may take some time to do that and I need to mull over whether I want to flash the router. It would be nice to get over 8000 though.

I tried the Telnet, but it asks for login and password. It doesn't accept admin and my usual password or admin/sky.

You need to flash your router with the netgear firmware. Check the thread here: http://www.skyuser.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=1199

We do not allow disscission of flashing your router on this forum as it breaks Sky's terms and conditions. Thread closed.
