Oh WOW!

There was me drafting a post, went to Preview at about 00:28 and after a bit of faffing saw I had lost internet connection.

Came back up with down and up SNRM at approx. 5dB and hugely improved sync's.

Current 68233/15526Kbps, previous 65702/13958Kbps established only a day or so ago.

HappyBunny on MDWS if anyone wants to take a look.

Nice

Glad to hear that buddy 😊

Nice

My stats (tenbyboy2 on MDWS) )are very similar to your's so hopefully I'll see a similar speed increase when the SNRM changes kick in for me!!

I seem to have the same oddity I was getting up until a few days ago when I accidentally caused a couple of re-syncs. A slight creep upwards on downstream SNRM overnight. Went down again at dawn. With a very slow rise in the underlying one. That went on for a long time, with the upstream doing the same.

Attainable is bang on unchanged. There is definitely some static setting being used for that calculation.

There was no area power cut! I had several lights on in the room with one not far above my head. Not a flicker, never mind a noticeable cut.

68meg at 600m is mighty impressive.

I agree but isnt it a bit sad that in this day in age that 68Mb at 600m is considered so impressive!

It's still more than adequate for the vast majority of households, so no, not sad really.

Looks like a DSLAM reset to me. The upstream should remain on a 6dB target. The fact it has also dropped to 5dB suggests it's not a DLM thing. The attainable WILL rise with a lower SNRM target, certainly with any Broadcom modem.

A resync is the easiest way to find out. The lower dB DLM profiles remain in place after a resync. I'm pretty confident the line would resync at 6dB.

To paraphrase an estate agent: Gauge, Gauge, Gauge.

Attenuation is 19dB, which is exceedingly low for 600m. I suspect some fat cable might be being used... possibly even 0.9mm copper.

In comparison, my second line had an attenuation of around 16dB, and was approx 375m from the cabinet. That was quite good performance for the distance, and I occasionally wondered whether that was fatter than the standard 0.5mm

My third, current line has an attenuation of 8.5dB, but is only 100m. I strongly suspect that this is thinner (0.4mm) copper though. If so, it would act like 150m of standard 0.5mm copper.

Hugely improved. Don't spend all 2Mb at once.

Compared to other developed countries, getting excited about 60Mbit is indeed sad.

Emigrate.

Depends which developed countries you compare to and the percentage of people in those developed countries who get more than that. We compare well to some and poorly to others - but there are lots of developed countries in a lot worse position than we are.

Your sig is quite relative in that for a line of similar length to the OP what a huge variation there is depending on the make up of your line.

Noise margin:
4.9 / 1.3

Gained about 4 meg

The drop wire was replaced a few years ago, but that is only 20-25 metres. Then 6 metres from the say (too dark to go outside to estimate) 8-9 metres round the outside then through the wall to master socket.

When they installed the new drop wire they did say it is much heavier gauge than was used when the houses were built in the mid 70s. It's underground from PCP to pole.

The 600m was initially paced out by me, adding for the various links and verticals, but I was dead chuffed when the engineer's JDSL said ~0.6km.

At 6dB I was getting 65,702Kbps, which was impressive enough, but historically it was high 57,000s until I replaced the HG612 with the Billion.

You were right. I got fed up with the uncertainty and rebooted the router. Back to almost exactly the prior sync. Now 65618/13914.

Still highly impressive for 600m, as lee said.

LOL

It's more a question of the sync for the line length. Which has been very high since G.INP re-asserted itself a few days after my banding was removed.

The new 65618/13914 sync proves that already high value was no freak event. Max attainable has been in the high 65k region since I ditched the HG612s. I expect on a good day I could get 66K/14K, but that would be pure icing on the cake as you say.

Apologies if this has been asked before but which Billion do you have and what cab type are you connected to?

Thanks

8800NL R2. Huawei.


As an additional point, although it only has 2.4GHz wifi it is by far the best such I have had ever. I could still have 5GHz if I wanted by connecting my ASUS RT-N66U either as the router component or as a WAP, but it just isn't necessary.

good to see BT continue to improve things for its Hauwei users

Shame about the current mess of the ECI tho now with the abandoned g.inp rollout.
