ADSL stats

Can someone knowledgeable please have a look at my stats and tell me if they are OK or potentially risky.

Cheers

You appear to be on ADSL2 rather than the expected ADSL2+. However, at that attenuation it won't make a lot of difference.

Both the up and down speeds are a bit low in my opinion, with the downstream SNR(M) being high. Indications of instability and varying levels of noise.

The oddity is that you are on Fast Path instead of Interleaved. Is this an LLU line?

Is there a history of trouble with the connection?

Yes it is ADSL2 as there is no ADSL2+ at my exchange. I was always on ADSLmax here with estimated speed of 4384kbps from kitz attenuation calculator.

I have changed providers recently and I believe they use talk talks infrastructure but as far as I know my exchange is not LLU enabled?? This is puzzling for me. My exchange is Runfold THRD.

I am on fast path per my request as I need good pings. I get 9ms to bbc.co.uk in comparison with my old providers fast path where I got 25ms at best of times. It is probably reason for my SNR target set at 9dB? I think anything lower and it would just be unusable.

What sort of speeds would you expect to see on my kind of attenuation?

As far as I know there is no history of trouble. Been living here past 5 months and not had any major issues.

Thanks for your input.

It is puzzling for me too!

You can only get ADSL2 from ADSL2+, never from ADSL Max. Yet your exchange only has ADSL max and no ADSL2+ LLUs.

4.3 Meg on ADSL Max, but you are well exceeding that.

Thanks for that I have not realized this.

Using MrSaffron's checker gives this indication what you could get with the connection (using your router stats)

Samknows must be out of date. The OP seems to think it's TTB. Or it could be one of the recent WBC upgrades.

Yes, it must be that otherwise it don't make sense. OP must be on recently activated TTB LLU ADSL2+ but running on degraded ADSL2 Mode, determined by the DLM..

I dont know exactly but pretty sure that there is no ADSL2 or WBC21 enabled and there are no plans to do it on this exchange. I can not order any ADSL2+ products here.

On the other hand FTTC has been rolled out ish over here and I am able to order if I wanted to trough several providers.

I am on TT wholesale with my provider (so I am told) but when I go on TT website all they can offer me ADSL wise is simply broadband with max 3,8mbps estimated speed.

I dont know. Is it possible to be connected to a different exchange? This area has two exchanges overlapping with coverage. How plausible would this be that I am actually connected to different on? (similar distance away but ADSL2 enabled)

Also I am not on DLM at all. My provider is able to set SNR target manually and it takes instant to apply as well. They set me 9dB target with interleaving off per my request.

All I am not sure about is the error rate whether it will make the trough put suffer in the long run (ES)?

Thanks for replies.

You are on an ADSL2+ connection. Fact. For whatever reason, the system has set it down to ADSL2.

If you put your phone number into this checker, does it work or does it tell you the number is not recognised?

If it tells you the number is not recognised, then use the Address option instead. Do not use the Postcode only option.

The phone number or address option will tell you the exchange and lots of other stuff. Please just copy and paste what it says, but delete the phone number or address before posting. We want to see the exchange, cabinet number and the table data below those.
