Guys

I can change my "Target SNR Percentage" under advance settings starting at 100% which give's my 9.5meg synce speeds, I can lower it to 10 or 5 and get 14.5meg sync..?

Question is -

Am I OK to do that? My connection doesn't drop out but does it effect anything else that I should be aware of??

Any advice would be great ;)
 
well i have dropped mine to 90% and all seems ok.

Thata with a dg834n

:D all working sweet as here

Edit funnily enough though this was when i first encountered the dns errors lol and thought it was this mucking things up :D

I have just upgraded to BE Pro, lost some of my downspeed from 24mb to 22mb but my upload is now 2.4mb
 
Mines on 15% at the minute and my sync speed is

DownStream Connection Speed 13295 kbps
UpStream Connection Speed 1274 kbps

You guys are lucky, at 100% I get 9100kbps down. Adjust it to 40% and get 9400kbps.
Hardly worthwhile, personally.

I've had it at 15% and get close to 14.5 meg but I seem to drop out of games and get "connection errors" even though web, msn etc are still connected?

So I have put it at 75% and I get just over 11 meg and torrents can hit 10meg at times, gaming is solid so I'm leaving it as is now :)
 
problem is, if you drop your noise margin, you've got no breathing room for bitswapping, so if you get higher levels on impulse noise on certain tone bins you're going to be dropping bits and getting coding violations.

find a happy medium :) most lines are provisioned on 6db SNR, you can drop to 3 if your line has the ideal conditions, but i wouldnt advise it if you're far away :)

Lol talk english for god sake :p

You mean if I push it too much my line becomes unstable?

how do you lower it?

I have the D834GT router with UberGT firmware so I can do it manually in the advanced settings on my router, I think that *Be* tech guys can also do it?

Not 100% though, some other *Be-ings* may be able to confirm that?

Yeah, Be can reduce your target SNR margin. It's roughly what you're doing with the router.

To pick your brains (so to speak) my router MTU is set to 1458 at the moment, but I read on the *Be* forums it should be 1500 for a non *Be* router?

Will it make any difference? And should I change it do you think?

Thanks
