Broadband line check - O2 ISP

[bloodline76]

Hi there

Anyone know how I can find the details of my line to check the noise?

I am with O2 and using a Wireless box ii, I think it's a thompson one.

Used to be able to use Superuser and O2Br0ad64nd (something like that) but that doesnt seem to be working.

Thanks

Ok got it:

Seems about right to me but I know very little on the subject

Edit: Just noticed this Maximum Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,244 / 10,375

I would say 10mb looks spot on for a 43.5 db line.

So do I have to call them up for them to push it up to 10mb? Or does it run from 8mb to 10mb max depending on time of day?

LoL I didn't see the 8mb bit

hmmm 8187 seems to be a sync limit on the line, are you on a package that allows more than 8mb?

Not sure. I am on the standard O2 one before their changes.

If it means that to go higher I would have to change contracts then I will stick as I am. At the moment I am only paying about £8 per month with unlimited.

If I change I will have to pay twice that for only an extra 2mb or so and get capped.

So my line will give a max of 10mb if the contract allowed it? (For future reference)
