Upstream sync capped at 448kbps (ADSL2+)


[link to this post]
 
Although I've "upgraded" to Plusnet Pro (moved to ADSL2+ from ADSLMax), apparently the upstream sync is capped at 448kbps - so says the reply to a ticket I have on the go at the moment anyway. The reason given is to prevent line instability.

So how come everyone else in the universe on ADSL2+ is syncing at 1Mbps+ upstream quite happily, I wonder...

Anyone else come across this issue?

[Yes I have an open ticket for this, just thought I'd poll others' views in the meantime]

Will post them when I get home - at work at the moment.

I know that the upstream noise margin is something ridiculous like 2147483647dB, which I'm guessing is done to enforce the lowest sync rate (the reply to my original ticket says that they like to keep users at the minimum so it's clearly deliberate).

My downstream noise margin was 3dB when I looked the other day (sync at about 15Mbps)

I'll post proper figures later.

We do 2 different uploads on ADSL2+, there is no additional cost for the higher one. We set it at 448 on new installs simply for stability, it only really tends to affect lines that see lower than 5/6Mb anyway so I can't see any issues on altering yours to the higher speed.

If you want to let me know a ticket number from your account, or your username I'll go place an order to remove the restriction.

It's a bug in the reporting by the router firmware. Speedtouch 585 I think?

Happens with Netgear too.
