Re: wholesale checker accuracy


[re: deleted] [link to this post] 		 
Don't forget those estimates are for the connection speed, not speed test results which on highish FTTC lines are always several Mbps lower.

You can get a very close approximation to your connection speed by running the BT Performance Test and clicking the Further diagnostics button at the bottom of the initial results page.

If you divide the downstream IP Profile by 0.9679 you get the connection speed within a very small range. This doesn't work for the upstream, which is always 2, 10 or 20 depending on the product you are on.

The speeds I refer to are the sync speeds as reported by the modem - it has never synced at 80/20.

In reply to a post by sor:
I don't actually get anywhere near to the clean or impacted maximums.

But you are within the range of both of them.

I am also syncing below my clean rate.

But its important people dont get confused with my question.

The question is are people's new impact low estimate the same as their previous estimate before BT wholesale rolled out the latest checker.

not if they sync below or above it.

Most people on kitz forum seem to have a clean low estimate the same or very similiar to their previous estimate suggesting mine been at impacted low is unusual.

"The Performance Tester is currently unable to run a speed test for your broadband connection. Please try again shortly, however if this problem persists, raise the issue with your service provider."

That was for sor. What ISP are you with when you try to run the performance test?

If your TBB profile is still correct you are on O2 LLU moving on to Sky LLU and so could never run BT Performance Test as it's for BTw based connections only.

Re: wholesale checker accuracy


[re: XRaySpeX] [link to this post] 		 
I was wondering about the accuracy too....

About a month ago it stated on the Wholesale checker that the max I could get on FTTC was up to 68.1mbps on a download and 20mbps on an upload.

I've recently checked again and am now getting this:

FTTC Range A (Clean) 80 79.9 20 20 -- 31-May-14
FTTC Range B (Impacted) 80 73.9 20 19 -- 31-May-14

Is there any possible reason as to why this may have changed?

Thanks guys!!
