So do you know the sync speed, snr, attenuation, band plans, etc?

In reply to a post by shalom2005:

Well I have the stat's already of what my speeds are historically with the Sam Knows box

But not the router stats/sync speeds. That box is only aware of and records throughputs.

I know the SNR is 6 db, I saw it on the OR engineer's box. The other stat's I did not note myself.

SamBox Stats shows the upload speeds in the last few months:

SNR 6 is meaningless without the sync speed, but it looks like your speed is slowly rising.

Well it was slowly rising, until today when, as I said my download has increased by 10.3 but my upload decreased by 2.3!

Once the work on the cab is finished (at the end of the week I'll update this thread with my new readings (maybe this time next week).

The best thing would be to use a hacked modem to find out the actual line stats.

Well even if I knew the stats, all this would do, is, I guess give me evidence to argue my case for a fault to be raised, but as Plusnet have been more than obliging I don't see any reason to get a 'hacked modem' (yet!).

RESOLVED

I'm delighted to report that my Upload speed has now returned to normal speeds, after three weeks. Looks like the work on the cabinet is complete.

That's good news and with the added bonus of a quicker download speed.

Yes! Thanks. The engineer who came yesterday was here for six hours and really tried everything he could - even changed the twisted wires to the cabinet. I think the tethering at the cabinet was the issue - so maybe now I'll have stability again

Speedtest result today
