If 7dB is their target then not much more available.

That seems to be the the target in my case as well. Creeped up to 8700 with a 6db (at night) after 4 days, then it seems have stabilised at 8100 with a 7db (at night). Never lost any sync through the period.

On o2 without DLM or interleaving i got around 9000 down and 1000 up
Sky with DLM and interleaving 8100 down 768 up, so not a vast amount in it to be honest.

Your getting better than me and I've only got 12dB of attenuation..

Still "Training" only been 7 days, will wait till the 10 are up and give them a call..

Noise margin was constant at 14dB odd but then after one of the "Training" re-syncs dropped to 7.5...

How far are you from the exchange on the samknows website, my downstream stats have changed for the better, getting this now.

ADSL Link Downstream Upstream
Connection Speed 19096 kbps 966 kbps
Line Attenuation 16.5 dB 9.5 dB
Noise Margin 7.1 dB 8.0 dB

Hiya,

Things picked up last night it would seem, just seen my latest stats:-

Connection Speed 19002 kbps 1090 kbps
Line Attenuation 12.0 dB 8.0 dB
Noise Margin 7.1 dB 9.1 dB

May hit the magic 20 perhaps

I'm about 200M away from the exchange, samknows came up as 0M

makes my 7.5 look pityful

I used to live in the centre of Canterbury, got 5 meg on a good day.

Hit the magic 20 meg last night here though:-

Connection Speed 20889 kbps 1098 kbps
Line Attenuation 12.0 dB 7.7 dB
Noise Margin 7.0 dB 9.0 dB

Is that 20Mb though, cause even though i've synced at over 19000 my real world speeds was around 17Mb, so what sync would you need, to get the advertised 20Mb that sky offer?.

In reply to a post by tommy_boi:

The advertised 20 Meg is the Connection/Sync Speed, as is that of all ISPs in accordance with Ofcom guidelines.

However, FYI, to get a 20 Meg Throughput you would need to Sync at about 24 Meg.

I thought thats the way it worked, so basically syncing at 20000 would be the max you could get on sky llu?.

Hi,

The speed quoted by sky is the sync speed not actual throughput of the line.

Actual throughput seems fairly good, not seen much in the way of contention, was getting 1.9Mb/sec from the test files on here and that's with a wireless connection, I was reasonably impressed
