Is it worth switching to fastpath?

Hey ive been activated with be today and wish to switch to fastpath to get lower pings and faster speeds.

Here are my stats:

Uptime: 0 days, 1:55:59
Modulation: G.992.5 Annex A
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,313 / 15,454
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [MB/MB]: 16.16 / 286.26
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.0 / 19.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 16.5 / 32.0
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 7.0 / 4.5
Vendor ID (Local/Remote): TMMB / µ
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Link (Remote): 0
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 103 / 0
FEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 395,098
CRC Errors (Up/Down): 115 / 425
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 194 / 246

You are getting some nice speeds there for your attenuation.

It all depends what your SN goes down to during peak. Mine goes as low as 4.5 sometimes and can become unstable. I'd say give it a try at 6db at 1st. If you have any issues ring them and ask to be moved to 9db profile.

Make sure you raise a ticket before you phone to make it easier.

Here's how mine compares with yours and I don't use Fastpath:

Uptime: 0 days, 3:12:35
Modulation: G.992.5 Annex A
Bandwidth (Up/Down) [kbps/kbps]: 1,287 / 11,199
Data Transferred (Sent/Received) [MB/GB]: 68.22 / 1.15
Output Power (Up/Down) [dBm]: 12.0 / 19.0
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 19.5 / 36.5
SN Margin (Up/Down) [dB]: 6.5 / 5.5
Vendor ID (Local/Remote): TMMB / µ
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote): 8 / 0
Loss of Signal (Local/Remote): 2 / 0
Loss of Power (Local/Remote): 0 / 0
Loss of Link (Remote): 0
Error Seconds (Local/Remote): 437 / 0
FEC Errors (Up/Down): 0 / 4,822,599
CRC Errors (Up/Down): 1,046 / 82
HEC Errors (Up/Down): 906 / 53

Error Heaven!
 
I got fastpath enabled today - my counterstrike pings dropped immensly!

The fastest pings I was getting on interleaving was ~ 28ms, I was just on a server with a ping of 12ms :D Didn't affect my speed or stability.
 
Changing the interleaving mode won't change your target SNR margin, unless Be have linked them together in their settings (which would be stupid).
