Re: DSL Checker Observed Speeds


[re: RobertoS] [link to this post]
 
Sorry about the random reply, just replying to someone I know is fairly sensible! smile Mine is approximately correct (75110) as at the date given (2018-10-05) but I have been syncing at 79999/20000 for the last month, so I presume it will update at some point.

Mine is showing 72620/13360 on 26/9/18 when the actuals were 72620/13368. It appears to be rounding down.

What is odd however is this is not the downstream sync speed reported to the AAISP Radius server!

You may recall that if on G.INP the IP Profile is a lower percentage than on either Fast Path or standard Interleaved. (I think this has been discussed more on kitz than here). The IP Profile when on G.INP is always based on the considerably lower figure shown on the Radius server. What I haven't established is whether it is Openreach reporting a lower than sync speed to BT Wholesale, or BT Wholesale are themselves reducing it before using it.

This new information suggests the latter.

When I first observed the lower than expected IP Profile, long before there was discussion, AAISP said it must be my modem reporting erroneous high sync's, as they could see from the Radius log (which I can see for a short period by the way) that the IP Profile was correct frown.

Their vaunted CS is not always right LOL.

Mine shows 75110/20000 when actual was 75119/20000 so it's rounding down. I have no idea what my sync speed is on Plusnet's Radius server and I doubt they do either! At a sync of 79999 my IP profile is 74.1 Mbps (92.63%) and my Plusnet line speed is 73.8 Mbps. (Yes, https://portal.plus.net/my.html?action=data_transfer... does still work even though they have just revamped the member centre interface.)

My IP Profile on my current 72382 sync is 66.45Mbps. About 91.8%. I can't see back to 11 Nov on my window into the Radius log.

Your PN line speed is very strange as it doesn't tie in with either modem sync or IP Profile, which is above "line speed".

Your PN line speed is very strange as it doesn't tie in with either modem sync or IP Profile, being too far below the IP Profile.

My understanding was that it was always a little below the IP profile, I thought by 0.1 Mbps, but this is 0.3. It was definitely updated when the sync changed from 75119 to 79999 so it isn't "stuck" or anything. One of those things I guess, makes no difference in practice.

Dammit!
I was going to write that the gap between your IP Profile and line speed was strangely high, then went into brain fade and messed up in the opposite direction.

Blood sugar needed smile.

In reply to a post by simon194:
I checked my Mum's phone number and it has the Observed Speed as 80000/20000 on 4th Oct 2018 but she has only had a 40000/10000 service since fibre because available in her area. I assume this is not the "observed" speed based on the type or product on the line but is "observed" by something else.

In my case it is close to the Sync speed. It is described as a max observed downstream speed and is 47800. It is greater than the actual downstream speed of 40000 as I have a 40/10 product.

FWIW: they've added the decimal point, so I'm now seeing 31.63Mbps rather than 31630 Mbps smile
