160kbps downsteam? how?

Im only getting 160 downsteam on a 8mb connection where i get anything over 6mb upsteam... due to the slow speed my dad isnt recieving any signal on the wireless...

how can i fix this?

Unless your on a very fast business line i dont think you'll have anywhere near 6mb upstream. It is most probibly your downstream or sync speed that has dropped suddenly.

Your not on Tiscali are you either?
 
I do get 6mb... i hover between 6100kbps and 6600kbps

Im on 8mb and i get 6mb usually...

Im on demon...

Do you not know anything about the internet? Im on 8mb and i get 6mb usually...

Im on demon...
Dude, relax. OzZie said just what I was thinking as well. Most residential service is sold on the speed of the downstream. Upstream is frequently much slower. Perhaps you should call your ISP and see what they think you should be getting for your upstream speed.
 
Oh crap! i meant downsteam.....

im sorry....

watch the attitude people round here dont like it ;) it looks more like what you mean is downstream rarther than upstream, any chance you can let us know what isp your with and which package your using?
 
yeah ive just said but i dont mind saying again :-)

i know i posted at the same time u posted lol ummm all i can recommend it try unplugging everything and leaving it for a few mins n then plugging it all back in if that doesnt work get on to your isp
 
It may have nothing to do with your problems, but my cousin has a 160kbps sync speed just like you and it never changes. He is with Tiscali so my first impressions were that he was on the 'bad boy pipe'. However, that isnt the case as it doesnt even return to normal even at off-peak times (which it is supposed to) so it may be that your exchange is under going maintenence like ours is (i think). Give it a few days before contacting Demon :)
 
Well im still in my stabilising process so im assuming its something to do with that, plus my web pages are loading faster then last night and i was 6k downstream last night.
 
My DSL details correct?

Im having trouble with my downstream, im on 8mb demon i have been with them a week and they say i am in 10 days stabilising process but my downstream shouldnt be like this...

Are the rest of my details correct?

The slow Downstream SYNC shouldnt affect the wireless signal on the router it will only affect the download speed, The 10 day training period shouldnt be a factor in your problem you should get the full service after 3days of being put on BTMAX. Most likley its due to a BT exchange upgrade.

Ive just noticed in your other post your SRN is 5 this is considered low, do you get frequent dissconections? This link will help if this is the case http://www.dslzoneuk.net/socket.php?type=html

What router do you have?


This link should tell you if your exchange is overloaded and will tell you of any upgrades are due on the exchange http://www.nildram.net/support/tools/congestion_checker/



Hope the above helps..

I have a D-link G604T wireless router.
 
If
DSL Speed 448 Kbps Upstream, 160 Kbps Downstream

came from the router, congestion and "BT exchange upgrades" have nothing to do with it - if all you're getting is a 5dB SNR margin, 160kbps downstream is all you're going to get.
 
I totally agree with tolien here, when you say your SYNC rate is 160 Kbps Downstream with a SNR of 5 you are not going to get any higher, this is very confusing as you sated you have being getting 6100kbps, whats the SNR at that SYNC rate?

Could you please post the full line stats in your router? This would give us better info to go on.

Also could you post a speed test result from here? http://www.speedtest.net/

Have you got a skybox plugged into the telephone line? All ADSL filters working? correctly installed?
 
well you have only been with them 7 days, its usually anywhere withing 7-10 for them to get everything right with your line after signing up
 
ive just started with demon as well. im on the home office 8000. it went live as of last tuesday but it was active from the sat. my router synchs between 4500 and 5800kbps yet it feels very slow. various speed tests suggest im getting between 1 and 2mb :(
 
Beerbaron from the sounds of it you have a stuck profile @2Meg, this usually 99% gets lifted after 3days of being on the full 8Meg package, I would suggest after 10 days from the start of the new SYNC rate you phone your ISP and tell them uve got a stuck profile they will lift the cap, Although you may have to restart the 10day training period.
 
just put my number in the speedtester and got:

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test: -provides background information.
IP profile for your line is - 4000 kbps
DSL connection rate: 448 kbps(UP-STREAM) 4544 kbps(DOWN-STREAM)
Actual IP throughput achieved during the test was - 3634 kbps

If you wish to discuss these results please contact your ISP.
If you are experiencing problems with specific applications, servers or websites please contact your ISP for assistance.
Your test has completed please close this window to exit the performance tester.
information.

my 10 day period should end tomorrow. this would suggest i am actually getting 4mb then ???
