I am currently trying to get two users in the same street (about 100 yards apart) set up to work reliably with a particular ISP.
One house gets a download speed of about 10.5Mbps; the other gets about 5.5 Mbps according to www.speedtest.net.
The ISP (devils that they are) claims that the reason the speed is so slow is that I am using a Netgear DG834Gv5 ADSL Modem. This would be more credible if the modems were different - but they aren't and I have used them elsewhere in the past without problem. Added to all of this, the link seems to die periodically without any changes at my end. I am using a microfilter on the only socket available.
Sometime ago, I stumbled across a site (it may have been a BT site) that would provide such details as the distance from the exchange, SNR, Attenuation, etc. - does anyone have any idea what this link might be
From the "slower" site, according to the Modem status screen, I am seeing the following:
From the "faster" site, according to the Modem status screen, I am seeing the following:
