Possible speed

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is anyone who can tell me what speeds I could be achieving with these stats ?

Connection Speed 2142 kbps 273 kbps
Line Attenuation 56.0 db 30.9 db
Noise Margin 15.6 db 16.2 db

Thanks

Depends what you mean. With that sync rate you should be able to download reliably at more than 1500 kbps.

If there is no underlying problem with your connection you might be able to get TalkTalk support to move your SNR margin down to 6 dB. You might then be able to sync at 3500 kbps or better.

Thanks for the quick reply john2007.

I have been with TT about a month now on a LLU exchange with no major issues, and was just wondering what a possible max speed would be and how stable the connection if I were to ask for a drop in snr.

Maybe my experience may help. Initially I had similar values as you. Today I had my SNR reduced to 6/7dB. My sync speed went up to 2900kbps, and a thinkbroadband.com speed test gave 2400kbps. Can't comment on stability yet, but no disconnects over the past hour. (If you want more data you could look at my thread, "Should I call TT?")

If you speak to tech support and ask them to lower your SNR profilr to 6DB you can probably expect 3.5mbit sync speed.

However you may find your connection becomes unstable, if you do i'd ask them to try moving you to 9DB

Well I bit the bullet and went for it stats are now

Connection Speed 3247 kbps 443 kbps
Line Attenuation 56.0 db 30.8 db
Noise Margin 6.1 db 6.1 db

I will let everyone know if I get any troubles or not.

Thanks for all your help

hi i just like to know how do you check the noise margin? thks

Get the stats out of your modem/router.

Hi,

I have a Netgear 834GT all the stats are from the admin interface.

Hi all,

Just to keep everyone up to date.

I had my SNR changed back to the 15 db profile this morning because evening surfing was a no go area on the 6db profile, I could'nt even download web pages, and I was get serious earache.

Will monitor the situation and might change to the 12db profile in a couple of days.
