Draytek speeds - any analysis?


[link to this post]
 
Hi,
I've got a Draytek router on an FTTC connection.
I'm not actually complaining about it, or worried about it at all.
But reviewing it the other day shows the attainable rate much higher than the actual rate. For both Up and Down.

Just wondering if anyone has any comments on this?
Have uploaded copy of the VDSL Status page to : https://ibb.co/hcHstZm

I'm absolutely not bothered about this connection, but the numbers look skewed to me, so just throwing it out there.

Both your downstream and upstream have been banded (capped) by the DLM.

If your ISP is willing to run a GEA test that will show the DLM profile from 13 days ago which if banded at the time will show up.
An RTT test will show the current DLM profile which will show the banding.

A DLM reset will clear this but many ISP's aren't willing to do this if your line is performing within the estimates you were quoted at sign-up.

The upstream is fastpath and the downstream has interleaving enabled.
The downstream attainable is slightly exaggerated because of the interleaving (usually around 10%).

In short, ask your provider for a DLM reset as both ds/us is banded by the DLM.

Edit: made an error reading the stats, corrected it.
