Downstream Attenuation 35d = 8-12meg?

iMacMart · 23 Oct 2007 at 13:33

Hi guys

I'm thinking of moving to 'Be' £18 per month package, according to DSL Zone I can get between 8 - 12meg?

Is this a good trustworthy test do we think? Plus can I tweak the Be box to get even more out of the line as I have heard this can be done?

Comments welcome

Based exclusively on the attenuation? Wouldn't trust it as far as I could throw it...

Lol OK?

Whats the best way to approach it Tolien? In your opinion

There's no hard and fast rules.

This would give a more reliable result, based on more than just your attenuation:

Only real way to know is to migrate and try it though!

Is SNR spoke about in up or down terms? mine is up 22 down 7

I take it they mean up?

If so results were as follows!

If your service provider uses ADSL2+ we estimate you may manage line speeds of: 13785Kbps

With ADSL2+ the maximum IP throughput is likely to be around: 12199Kbps

SNR is down as far as I can see.

I have my Noise Margin @ 7.6 down and 9.0 up.

They mean down, as it's downstream speed you're trying to work out.

That will affect the results you came up with somewhat.

Same again?

Sync - 8128
Downstream Line Attenuation (dB) - 35
Noise Margin, sometimes referred to as Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) - 7
