I hadn't got the first clue what you were on about until I did a internet search. Turns out I am on a Huawei cabinet, it was installed in September this year and went live at the end of October.

The new router I purchased does G.inp enabled as standard, so thankfully I go something correct there. Thank you for that information.


Also, does anyone know what the stats 'Max Rate' means on my new vdsl router, this wasn't on my old adsl one.

Basically it states :-

Current Rate (Kbps) 1273 up and 12976 down
Max Rate (Kbps) 1273 up and 15269 down (on my old BT HH5 this was 1225 up and 11236 down



I realise the current rate is what I'm synced at but what does the Max Rate mean?

If you look at the SNR margin it may well be above 6dB and if so, the MAX achievable is what the modem thinks it could achieve with a 6dB SNR. With 2.5Mbps difference, you may find that you do resync slightly higher in the near future. It is also possible, as I currently have, to have the Max Achievable lower than the actual sync.

As MHC says. Here's mine:-

Max: Upstream rate = 15947 Kbps, Downstream rate = 59808 Kbps
Bearer: 0, Upstream rate = 15142 Kbps, Downstream rate = 59997 Kbps
Bearer: 1, Upstream rate = 0 Kbps, Downstream rate = 0 Kbps

With:-
Down Up
SNR (dB): 5.9 6.4
Attn(dB): 19.7 0.0
Pwr(dBm): 13.6 7.4
