My Line Stats and more.

Thought I would post my line stats here and for future so other can give advice and let me know if I am getting what I shoud.

I reconnected my HG610 modem today for the stats. I still disconnected after about one and a half hours again. I called PN for the DNS and had to set up an IP in windows. Think that has sorted it, as cross fingers, it has stayed connected for 7 or so hours.

This modem does not seem to work on acquire ip automatically.

My stats for about an hour ago. From XP

Given your SNR margin is bang on target, I would say you're getting the max sync rate.

Thanks but it's not really matching my speed tests is it?

BTW can this modem drop PPP session? I don't really want to switch it off yet, just to change IP address.

May post my stats again later, if it's still connected.

Are you meaning the HG610 VDSL router? Modems don't handle PPP.

49390 *0.96 to remove overheads is 47414 Mbps

So what speed are you wanting to see?

Particularly given that even I do speed tests on a direct 100 Mbps link I don't actually get the 100 Mbps due to other overheads in the Operating System and hardware.

47414 Kbps = 46.3027344 Mbps

In reply to a post by BatBoy:

47414 Kbps = 46.3027344 Mbps

47414 kbps = 47.414 Mbps actually... The k and M are used in their correct 10^3 and 10^6 meanings for linespeed

In reply to a post by ferretuk:

The k and M are used ...

Did you mean k or K?

If you say so, I just googled "convert 47414 kbps to mbps".

He was referring to TBB's non-standard use of K = 1024 in comms speeds.

Just shows Google does not know everything!

I mean k (kilo)

In reply to a post by XRaySpeX:

He was referring to TBB's non-standard use of K = 1024 in comms speeds.

In which case 47414 Kbps = 48552 kbps = 48.552Mbps

Data rates are straightforward quantities and aren't related to binary.

Alternatively, what's Kelvin got to do with data rates?

As you mention earlier, Google is wrong on this one. See here

Where did I say K = 1.024k?

F = 1.8 * C + 32 and C = K - 273

I repeat - modems don't do PPP.
I add - those are router stats.

Right this is my third and last lot of modem, router stats for a bit. I am going to go back to the ECI version later. I will also link to this for future.

Anyone know how to set this modem up to link with a router? just like how the ECI version works. the ECI is auto setup so don't need to mess about with it like the HG610..

Question: If I called PN and wanted to change my IP, would they be able to drop my PPP session from their end? Remember I can't do it my end for a number of reasons.

If not then it would be good to add that option to the members centre. Just press a button saying, drop PPP and you should eb done.

Just had a look through the telnet commands for the HG612 and don't see anything that could be done that way. As you say, there is no option in the Member Centre. They probably won't take up the suggestion as they supply routers and modem/routers where you can do it.

But?

As dropping and re-establishing your PPP session involves a loss of internet connection, is there any real drawback to just disconnecting the HG610 for say 30 seconds? That would do it, although it obviously involves a re-sync. Or has that already been ruled out for some reason.

I asked PN this morning if it is possible to drop PPP their end and apparently, they can't and have not been trained for anything like that.

They have opened a fault as the speed my router is telling me, i'm not getting and that includes what Mr Saffron said about overheads. If should be getting 76mbps why are my speed tests showing between 41 and 44mbps. Not expecting much and they will probably say as normal, it's fine and at PN end too.

I found this last night and just had a mess about with it.

https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0B6wW18mYskvBMTEyNz...

Maybe some people can understand graphs better. From last night and now. Would be good if something like that for the ECI modem. No more of this as HG610 now going off.

http://s6.postimage.org/ohrgurvy9/line_stats_L_20130...

Edit superspeed note. Should be 46-47 mbps and thats with overheads.

Edited by deleted (Mon 28-Jan-13 16:42:37)

Speed tests show 41 to 44 because that is what you will get if you sync at

Path: 0, Upstream rate = 12799 Kbps, Downstream rate = 49390 Kbps
(copied from the router stats you posted).

Where does anything indicate the modem should get a 76 Meg connection? What was your estimate when you signed up to the service, and how many metres of cable between you and cabinet.

I have just dropped in on this thread. Why do you think it should be getting 76Mbps? Your sync speed is way below that and your speed tests seem to be pretty close to your actual sync. It looks like you are too far from the cabinet to get higher speeds.

If an engineer comes out for this then you will most likely get charged as on the face of it your line is operating as it should be (according to the stats).

In reply to a post by superspeed:

I asked PN this morning if it is possible to drop PPP their end and apparently, they can't and have not been trained for anything like that.

This isn't surprising. At the moment, the only official equipment options are the engineer installed modems, where you always have the option of rebooting the connected device or pulling the plug between the modem and connected equipment (which should make the PPP session time out quickly).

Even with your HG610 router, you can always reboot the router if there's no way of dropping the PPP session at the command line - though doing this too often may lead to negative consequences from DLM.

In reply to a post by superspeed:

They have opened a fault as the speed my router is telling me, i'm not getting and that inclueds what Mr Saffron said about overheads. If should be getting 76mbps why are my speed tests showing between 41 and 44mbps. Not expecting much and they will probably say as normal, it's fine and at PN end too.

I'm not the greatest expert on VDSL2 statistics, but the graphs you quoted look sensible to me. You can see the effect of the power mask on the bins up to 512 (where power is limited to avoid crosstalk issues with ADSL2+), then the bit loading follows the signal to noise ratio fairly precisely.

The router shows around 6dB signal to noise ratio margin in each band. That's BT Openreach's target figure - so your line is synchronising at the maximum speed it is capable of: your current 49.2/12.8 sync speeds and no more. This is not regarded as a fault as you have more than 15Mbps downstream, so it's unlikely BT Openreach will be persuaded to do anything about your line.

Predictions are just that - they may differ from real-life experience. Usually the BT checker is on the pessimistic side - in your case, it's been too optimistic. However, you've far exceeded the speed you say you should be getting and appear to be demanding - 76 millibits per second is glacially slow; even a 1970s 110bps acoustic coupler could beat that by a long way. (Hint: in SI prefixes a capital M is mega and a little m is milli).


41-44Mbps speed test results are in line with your 49.2Mbps downstream sync speed. You have no right to demand the predicted speed; it is just a prediction.


Of course, you won't read this reply which attempts to be helpful, because I'm in your ignore list apparently. Your loss.

Hi there,

feel free to DM me with some means of identifying your account and I'll be happy to run some line diagnostics. Let me know if you have any particular concerns about your connection.

Where does anything indicate the modem should get a 76 Meg connection?

Sorry that was my mistake. It should of been 46-47 mbps and like you said before. Thats what happens when your rushing about. Lol

Here is a screen grab of my line speed test when I signed up to Plusnet. So you can see for real what PN said. Blocked out number/postcode for security reasons.

See my reply to mr saffron. My error. 46-47 is what is should be.

Then I would say your line seems to be performing as it should be. Was there something else that made you feel it isn't? If not then sit back and enjoy it - if you really want extra speed in future then you could always buy the FTTP upgrade that is coming in the spring

In reply to a post by superspeed:

It should of been 46-47 mbps and like you said before.

So what was the point of this thread? Was it just to keep your records? You are getting the speeds promised. There is nowt that PN can or will do; they need their efforts concentrated on the users who do have issues.

P.S. You are actually getting speeds over a billion (10^9) times what you think .

It was my speed tests that were not mtaching what my line stats said.

As for the cabinet, no way to tell how far it is but I was told by BT openreach it's round the corner from me. Few minutes walk.

Ray please don't start with that nonsense again, about other issues. It's for both and the clever ones, to give expert opinion on my line. They can close the ticket in a few days if it's not an issue.

Expert opinion sync is just a few hundred kilo bits per second away from the quoted speed at signup, so no case for investigation of a fault.

Ticket closed

Your speed tests WILL NEVER match the line stats for reasons we have explained before.

If you want a service where the advertised speed matches the speed that speed tests give, then even spending £1000 a month does not give that guarantee as no provider has control over the PC you are using.

I think the experts have pronounced... your (end-to-end) speed test results are entirely consistent with the line stats from your VDSL modem, and your line sync speed indicated in the VDSL stats is entirely consistent with the expected speed promised by PlusNet when you signed up. So to answer your original post, everything looks good and there is nothing wrong with the performance of your line.

That will never happen. You have to allow for the overheads of PTM, PPPoE, IPv4 and TCP, so the TCP throughput measured by a speed test cannot equal the sync speed.

As has been explained ad nauseam, you are buying a contended service so cannot expect full theoretical throughput at all times.

Lol I will see what PN thinks as well but I will close the ticket if adam comes on here and says the same sort of thing.

Anyway it's been a very long time but some providers used to be able to adjust your profiles, mostly LLU, so what about that? Or no no on BT networks? Forgot what it was now.

How many times do you have to be told the same thing before you believe it?

So, your speed estimate was 50Mb, accurate to within 1Mb.

Your connection syncs at 49390 Kbps (49.39 Mbps).

That's within the 1Mb.

Your BT IP Profile/BRAS Rate should be approximately 96.79% of the sync speed i.e. around 47.8Mb.

From that, your MAXIMUM throughput speed (at a quiet time with no contention) should be around 94% of IP Profile (around 45Mb).

The TBB & BT speed testers are known to be rather pessimistic.

What throughput speed do you see from www.speedtest.net?

Interleaving is set at fastpath, so your connection must be quite/very stable.
Also, as SNRM is around the target 6dB, there is absolutely no scope for increased speeds.

Is there anything else you would like to know, bearing in mind your original claim of 76Mb speeds being promised?

The fact your connection syncs in excess of 40 Mb confirms you must be on the "up to" 76Mb service - emphasis on the "up to".

Actually, I think that Superspeed has been treated very badly by Plusnet and the best advice would be to cut his/her losses, pay off the remaining contract and move to a different ISP...

Great Bald_Eagle1 you are on here as well. While looking up my modem last night, you came up on a certain computer forum and was giving very detailed advice, about members line stats and what could or could not be achieved, or how fast.

Thanks appreciate it.

I did a speed test about six hours ago. You can see it here http://s6.postimage.org/cnoru9401/BT_speed_test_28_0... It says ip profile 47 today but is mostly on, 44. All my speed test are linked in my profile. Here http://postimage.org/gallery/9fdw07u6/

Results from speedtester.net http://www.speedtest.net/result/2468887688.png


The 76 was a mistake on my part. I am on a 80/20 profile though.

Is there anything else you would like to know, bearing in mind your original claim of 76Mb speeds being promised?

Thanks but can't think of much at the moment. I would like to know if you think DLM has had an effect on my speeds? Not sure if you can tell.

Thanks much appreciated.

Ok ok you, Mr saffron, Bald_Eagle1 and others are right then. I am not going to get much more than that with my stats.

I can't squeeze anymore out of my line either.


I just hope it don't go down to below 39mbps or less. I'm sure I would be right to complain then. No chance then I will be able to get this then. http://www.productsandservices.bt.com/products/broad...

Your joking right? That can't be aimed at me.

Actually as of the spring you almost certainly will be able to get the 160Mbps product. It is FTTP only but BT are planning to offer FTTC customers the ability to upgrade. Only slight issues is that it would probably cost you more than £1500 for the installation charge as you seem to be a fair distance from the cabinet.

Your lone could also drop in speed over time as more people near you get connected as it could increase crosstalk - and whilst you could complain it is very unlikely you would get anywhere as the products are entirely reliant on physics and therefore can't deliver more than is possible for the line.

LOL - that certainly cheered me up

Not that it really matters but just done a BT ADSL checker test. It's about the same for fibre as PN.

See here http://s6.postimage.org/5lqu820e9/BROADBAND_AVAILABI...

Well it would be because it's using the same data and the product uses the same infrastructure.

PlusNet probably apply a small amount of rounding to the figures obtained from BT.

In the downstream direction, the checker speed is slightly less than you actually manage, but by less than 2Mbps - or around 4%. That's a pretty good prediction.

In the upstream direction, the checker speed was pessimistic - you manage 1.9Mbps more than predicted.
