How to find my line information

kieves1 · 22 Nov 2009 at 11:44

How do i find out all my line details for my internet like upload and download speeds,Line Attenuation,Noise margin etc.
Just seem to be getting lower download speeds lately and wonder if i am being throttled.

Thanks

Ok cool.
I was just wondering as to if i should get an I-Plate to surpress the bell ring if that would make any difference to my download speeds?

Cheers

If anything your SNR margin's quite high, considering you're 30kbps shy of full rate.

Is that good lol.
I have no idea about this sort of stuff

You're not connected at the maximum speed and could easily do so, but something stopping it...

Hmm i think i need to get scooby and them meddling kids in to solve the mystery for me

Can your ISP not change your SNR profile for you? You are not doing badly at that on an 8meg package tbh but your line is obviously short and not noisy so you should get the full whack... Downloads different to synch of course and you could just be being throttled depending on what you are d/l?

I may ask them to look into the SNR profile for me.I did used to be a heavy downloader but not any more so im not overly bothered.They have just offered me 2 months free then a reduced price to £12.99 for my 8mb unlimited
broardband with free calls and also a new d link router i think they said with some new micro filters

So not to bad

That was last night

That was just now but my missus is also on the internet

Well i was just trying to check all my settings and seein if something was amiss.I think i do get throttled sometimes from my previous downloading

Its never to bad really.
Im getting a new pc for xmas so hopefully that will eliminate any slowdown on the hardware side.
Was just seeing if i could change anything to give me a boost.
Im not to bothered really as i have got it down to £12.99 and i now have a new spare router
