my line stats - speed dropped

Hi,

Could someone kindly cast their expert eyes over my stats and give me their opinion - thanks

Have a look at my thread until someone replies, a quick scan seems to show you have the INP 3.00 thing that happened to me too...

Do you know what distance you are to the cabinet?

Your line is long enough that you are only using the D1 band frequencies; the pbParams output shows that the DSLAM is transmitting in that band at 9.7dBm - which is the same power as used on the D1 band of my 400m line (where I can use D1, D2 and D3).

So, your speeds seem to be limited by distance alone, and not because the DSLAM is transmitting at low power.

The stats show that DLM has intervened, and asked for FEC and interleaving to be turned on (INP=3 and delay=8). Those values are standard for a first level of intervention, suggesting that you aren't suffering too badly. The modem has actually turned FEC and interleaving on (R>0 and D>1 respectively), which has resulted in 19% of your bandwidth (R/N, or 12/64, or 19%) being used for error correction.

You have had a fair amount of errors corrected (RSCorr) but a surprisingly high number, relatively, of RSUnCorr too - normally RSUnCorr is considerably smaller than RSCorr.

Nonetheless, those RSUnCorr have only caused 4621 CRC errors (aka OHFErr), or about 220 per hour. This isn't an unreasonable value - I curre3ntly get about 100 per hour on my line (without FEC), but have seen it as high as 600 per hour over a 2 month period.

thanks - yes its a long line - roughly 0.9 miles measured by car
