And the line is how long?

Because over time some speed is lost as cross talk increases, hence why firms are looking to invest in vectoring to improve speeds as demand for VDSL increases

Hi Andrew

Not sure how far the line is, but the cabinet is only a around 5 minutes walk away

Will I guess vectoring 'may' reduce the pain of DLM. Faults are a real pain as my speed has been a constant 60 for a few months until last Friday, when work on the cabinet caused the problem, so I'm just waiting for either DLM & (or?) the OR person to get it back to line speed.

So what is 'pronounced' - it that below the 16 Mbps quoted on the BT Wholesale test as an 'acceptable range'?

That acceptable range is for the throughput for the sync at the time, not for the sync figure itself.

Here we go again - always 20 questions!

What is 'throughput' ?

The amount of data you can receive at a device (i.e your computer), when you do a speedtest the results are known as your throughput download and upload.

The task notes should show an expected sync rate to the DP. If the engineer plugs in their tester, and sees the current sync rate of X, but the max achievable rate shown by the same tester is much greater.

Thanks that's much clearer - oh, what's DP??

Distribution Point? Wherever that might be. Could be at the top of a pole, or in an underground joint box. It's (hopefully) the last joint in the loop before the "Drop Wire" (which might be an underground wire, rather than pole-strung!

Thanks - I find this forum wonderful, but wish that people don't assume that we know all the abbreviations & technical jargon - worse than government

When I started, I thought others were speaking a foreign language, but a few months down the line, you find you just slip in to it.
