Finallly

Well finally connected today after being messed about for a good 2 months.

Connection stats of:
Down: 8096
Up: 768
SNR: 11.4
Attn: 41

From the advanced stats I can see im on that GMD.T setting thing insted of ADSL2+. Not sure at the moment, would it be worth getting them to switch me to ADSL2+ I i'm sure with an SNR of 11.4 it can go a little higher but how much higher ?

if its only 1/2 a meg i'll leave it be as i'm getting faster than before as it is.

Any advice ? show I get it switched to ADSL2+ or stick with what i've got ??

You may get more with ADSL2+ but its weighing up the hassle of getting it switched for a marginal speed boost.

im connected to sky today to

Download Speed: 12347 kbps (1543.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 649 kbps (81.1 KB/sec transfer rate)

thats my speed test result

i cant figure out how to set up the wireless side of things

ive followed the guide on skyuser but it did not work for me at all

i dont like the router id rather use my linksys router for wireless but cant set it up with sky as i cant get into the settings for it

any help please

thanks

DSL Status: Up
DSL Modulation Mode: ADSL2+
DSL Path Mode: INTERLEAVED
Downstream Rate: 13045 Kbps
Upstream Rate: 764 Kbps

Downstream Line Attenuation: 34
Upstream Line Attenuation: 20

You may get another 2Megs. Its up to you really - just a matter of getting through to tier-3 and arguing your case.

suppose it's worth a try, worst that could happen is I have to get them to cap me back down again I supose.

Hardly worth it with those stats, they look fine... Increasing it might only make your connection unstable.

Cheers,

yeah got to agree , been monitoring the snr over the last day or so and it does tend to drop to around 5.8 - 6 around 9pm so increasing the speed would probably force me to reboot the router later on.
