Now Connected

Hi,
Just got connected, haven't had the email yet but all seems to running smoothly so far.
My stats at this point are

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 7616 kbps 832 kbps
Line Attenuation 28.0 db 15.5 db
Noise Margin 19.0 db 15.0 db

Any ideas what speed i should getting after the training period?

Thanks

Depends on whether you are on 8 Meg IPStream (ADSL Max) or 20 Meg LLU (ADSL2+). What does your router say is Connection or Line Mode?

If the former, as I suspect from your current speeds, then that's about it!

If the latter, then you could expect about 16.5 Meg, but you should be getting at least 12.5 Meg even to start with, as I did recently when I upgraded to 20 Meg LLU.

Hi,
I'm on the LLU 20 meg, my line stats of this am have changed to this.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 12286 kbps 1023 kbps
Line Attenuation 30.5 db 15.3 db
Noise Margin 11.2 db 13.3 db

Good, that's more like it!

It can only go up from here

Tho' surprised attenuation has increased; probably will go back.

The attenuation will increase as it is measured across the band in use and with higher frequencies having higher attenuations it is obvious.

A useful calculator:

Obvious? Then why did mine stay constant at 27 dB from before upgrade to 20 Meg and throughout 20 Meg stabilisation period?

EDIT: Ah! I guess you are assuming the unstated info. that OP was not on ADSL2+ (e.g. ADSL Max) previously.

Incorrectly reported.

What was?

Will be interested if you can report how your stats improve over the stabilisation period, as I am in a similar position.

I'll update as I go no probs, any idea how often the sync gets updated? Is it a daily change?

I've had daily changes at about 6 PM for the 1st 3 days and since that none, for the last 3 days. I'm hoping for more as I don't think I've reached my optimum yet. I'm now at 15.5 Meg @ 10 dB NM, but I suspect Orange won't lower NM to 6, as most other ISPs do, unless I ask them.

New stats as of this morning, going very well as told i would only get 9.5 meg on the orange page and by the service desk.

Newest stats, download has dropped a bit, still much faster than the 9.5 i was originally quoted,

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 15704 kbps 1288 kbps
Line Attenuation 30.5 db 15.2 db
Noise Margin 8.5 db 6.7 db

Unfortunately it's slower than i had a few days ago which is a shame, any idea if it will sync upwards or will it sync down as it's more stable in their eye's at lower sync??

Thanks. I did think your previous figures were slightly too high, considering your attenuation is about 3 dB higher than mine, tho' we are measuring with different routers.

My current stats, after 11 days stabilisation, are:
Speed (DS/US): 15977 K/1185 K, Attn: 28 dB/13 dB, SNM: 9 dB/5 dB

They have been fairly consistent and reliable throughout. These are the best I've had so far, tho' today I asked Orange to reduce my DS NM to the usual 6 dB. The CS who took my call did not know much about NMs and such but put a ticket for the engineers to escalate it. He ended by thanking me for teaching him about BB

I did try the livebox one day but it synced lower than the netgear router i have so don't think i'll be using again, and wireless range didn't seem up too much either..

FYI: Mine's not the Livebox; it's the Siemens. Have found it fairly reliable in past.
