Upstream speed

I have recently got connected to BT Infinity, all is well, but I cannot get uploads above 2Mb/s can anyone point me to where to start looking for a solution?

down speeds are good (22-36 Mb/s)
Up speeds the same on both PC's, WinXp wired to box and openSuse linux wireless.

Yes, but what is it in the router? That's the primary factor. Post your router stats,

I'm sorry Xray, how do I do this?

isn't Infinity Option 1 2M upstream by design ?

Look your router up here

On FTCC though ?

I have infinity2 and it is configured at 10Mb up.... (I think)

speedtester.bt.com ?

Option 2 is indeed up to 10M. But it's rate adaptive not fixed speed.

Hmm seems to be an old link Xray, does not have my router listed (HH2 Fibre)
I can get in to the router but I can't find any info/stats there.

Sorry, I forgot it was a fibre modem.

Please post the full results from a BT Performance Test, as implied by yarwell .

It isn't!

OK, what is it then and why can't you get stats from it?

Not having your experience of FTTC, I haven't the faintest. Don't do a Batty on me!

It's a VDSL2 modem connected to incoming copper, not a piece of FTTP NTE.

You can't get stats from it because you can't address it. The days of having modem drivers on your computer to tell you are gone.

With an ADSLx router the firmware provides the info, but in this setup all you see is the router firmware, not the modem.

What is in the JDSU that gets to it I have no idea. It may even be getting it from the DSLAM.

Exactly, I never imagined it was constructed of fibre; only that it was used for fibre connections.

But that's the point - it isn't a fibre connection. The fibre ends at the DSLAM. All they have done is put mini-DSLAMs near the PSTN cabinet.

Basically no difference at all technically. The change to VDSL2 is a parallel upgrade, not inherent.

Some users have already replaced their Openreach modem with VDSL2 routers and obtained full stats. IIRC you have been in some of those threads?

TMI. Stop being pedantic! It adds nothing to the original point of helping the OP.

I mistakenly suggested to OP to get his router stats, forgetting that it had a separate modem used for FTTC connections (aka Fibre where the fibre goes up to the cab) and that the modem is not actually connected to the PC whatever drivers are installed on it.

I don't remember participating in any getting of full router stats from VDSL2 routers but perhaps you would care to enlighten me.

Not guilty, yer 'onour.

You must be tired, as normally you would have picked up the light-hearted nature of "It isn't! ". I expected an acknowledgment in the same vein. Instead I got what appeared to be a serious question so tried to answer it.

Anyway - as you say, irrelevant.

I think it fairly likely that, for whatever reason, the OP is on a 40/2Mbps connection, which the BT speed test asked for by yarwell and repeated by me with a more obvious link should prove or disprove. Until the OP returns with that there is nothing to be done.

The main thread on the subject of VDSL2 routers is this one. You don't appear to have visited it. There are a couple of other minor ones around somewhere.

OK Sorry.

As I say, not being familiar with "fibre" I did not see the joke. For the same reason I steer clear of Fibre posts as I am ignorant of it

Here is result from BT speedtest, from the PC downstairs, Win XP, wired to router:

Well that's the easy solution dead . As you expected, it is a 10Mbps upstream connection.

Have you raised it as a problem with BT? It does look as though somewhere in the system there may be a 2Mbps cap in error.

What is in the JDSU that gets to it I have no idea. It may even be getting it from the DSLAM.

...the JDSU replicates the VDSL modem, and as such can allow you to see the connected lines stats. You can even set it up to make a PPoE connection over it, the browser function is poor at best.

Thanks z
Zarjaz.

must have been too busy looking at the figures to see how it was connected. I thought it was to the ethernet output, but from what you say it must hoave been the line itself.

Hi guys, my upstream mystery solved. When I got connected, the engineer found that the HH3 that came in the post was faulty so he installed a HH2 he had in the van instead. I asked BT if this was ok, they said that they would send out a replacement HH3 anyway (our very own "BT_Care" guy also said that he would sort this if I needed, so kudos to him, and to BT support all round)
Anyhoo the HH3 turned up today, lashed it up and changed my WPA keys, and woop de doo, upstream 8-9 Mbs!

LOL. So the HH2 in his van was faulty.

Ayway, enjoy now!
